The new products are backward compatible with SAS2, so customers can seamlessly deploy SAS3 components into existing SAS2 infrastructure. Customers can benefit by getting SAS3 performance benefits now, or ‘future proof’ their systems to obtain the benefits of SAS3 when they upgrade.

The new storage servers contain Seagate Enterprise Capacity HDD 3.5 V.4 HDDs, featuring SAS3 interface and capacities of up to 6TB, as well as LSI SAS3 expander backplanes and drive controllers.

The four new server models include the R513.v4.1, A513.v4.1, R516.v4.1, and A516.v4.1.

JBOD models being launched are the D53J.v3 and D56J.v3.

SAS3 drive controllers that leverage LSI’s DataBolt technology are capable of aggregating the performance of SAS2 drives to provide SAS3 performance even with older drives,” said Sue Lewis, CMO, Silicon Mechanics. “We are excited to be offering end-to-end SAS3 servers with this high throughput and full compatibility with SAS2.
