Overview
The EliteRAID UTI6G Series is available in 2U 8-bay, 2U 12-bay, 3U 16-bay and 4U 24-bay rackmounts with USB 3.0/eSATA/4xiSCSI interfaces, with and embedded hardware RAID engine. The hardware RAID feature offloads RAID calculations from the client’s OS to the RAID engine, which increases the overall R/W performance and eliminates potential OS compatibility issues. The built-in Web GUI management interface and event notification with SMTP E-mail and SNMP trap allows administrators to monitor unit status remotely via web browser without the need for additional software. In addition to RAID-5, mirroring (RAID-1) and striping (RAID-0), the EliteRAID UTI6G series supports RAID-6 to protect stored data from up to two HDD failures. JBOD is supported to allows drives to be accessed individually. Utilizing SATA drives, it achieves high performance DAS gains with fail-safe file protection at a cost effective price range.
