RAID, Inc. Qualification of 20TB HDD for External DAS EBOD for SAS Host Connects

RAID Inc. announced the qualification of 20TB HDDs. 

Ability 5U 84-bay

The HDDs can store over 1.7PB in a standard 5U depth rack and 2.1PB of raw storage capacity in a 4U deep rack, respectively.

Besides functioning as standalone external DAS EBOD for standard SAS host connects, these solutions are an expansion companion for other storage applications for SDS, object storage, high-density storage archiving, cloud backup, data replication and video streaming or surveillance.

Ability 4U 106-bay

“This latest generation of our Ability 5U 84-Bay and Ability 4U 106-Bay JBODs enables massive data capacity applications at a price/performance ratio that can meet fast-moving business requirements,” said Marc DiZoglio, GM. “In order to solve the world’s largest and most complex problems in big data, analytics and data retention, capacity and performance for on-premises storage needs to continuously grow and evolve. Adding more capacity per rack unit will only help organizations decrease their overall footprint and increase the amount of data that they can analyze in real time.”
