Addonics Rolling Out 1U RAID Rack Line

Addonics
Technologies
announced the RAID Rack family of 1U rackmount chassis with
removable drive systems for attaching four 3.5" SATA HDDs
of any capacity to a system via a single eSATA, USB 3.0, Firewire 800
or mini SAS connection.

            R1ESU3F

A storage solution made for video
storage or any application that requires a high capacity, reliable
storage system. The four drives can be configured as a RAID group or
as independent drives.

You can start your RAID Rack with one HDD and expand by adding more HDDs as your storage
requirement grows. You have a choice of models with port multipliers
or with direct drive connection via eSATA or mini SAS cables. Drives
are added or removed like tape cartridges. It is multi-OS compatible
depending on the host controller.

One of the new 1U RAID Rack models
is the R1ESU3F that comes integrated with a hardware port multiplier
with RAID accelerator for performance. All four drives connect
to the system via a single eSATA, USB 3.0 or Firewire 800/400 cable.
RAID can be configured via a set of switches, accessible at the back,
or via software utility. MSRP for
this model is $359

Another
model is the R1MSAS, which supports connecting all four drives via a
single mini SAS cable to a system equipped with a mini SAS connector
(SFF-8088). The four drives can be used as independent drives or set
to RAID via the RAID utility of the OS or the attached controller.
Mini SAS cable connection 10 feet long, making this model a solution
that requires direct attached storage with long cable connection.
MSRP for this
model is $299.
