Desktop 16 bay external PCIe 8x RAID Subsystem
Following the long-term popular product line of Netstor external PCI-E to SAS/SATA storage solution, now the whole new third generation has freshly been released to the market. As compared with the modern SFF-8644 port that presents the four 12Gbps channels, the latest external PCI-E 3.0 ×8 interface of the storage is 33% more bandwidth than the present-day 12Gbps mini-SAS HD port.
An ultra fast, external PCIe 3.0 ×8 interface 64 Gbps has been thoughtfully designed for the Netstor desktop storage enclosure to allow the unit to be kept at the highest, full performance and achievements of up to 6400 MB per second.
Created desktop 16-bay storage chassis with support of sixteen hot-swappable drive trays inside, the NS780S-G3 supports the most space utilization efficiency characteristic, featuring the utmost high-density trait that allows the storage to be excellently put at any site for production. As each tray attached with a 16 TB HDD, total usable storage can reach up to 256 TB raw capacity in favor of any demanding work and application.
Based on the application and requirement, users can choose their own desired brand and model of RAID card or SAS Host Bus Adapter (HBA) in the desktop storage for work. By utilizing a sixteen port RAID controller card, the Netstor desktop JBOD immediately turns into an enterprise RAID storage with RAID level protection including 0, 1, 10, 3, 5, 6, 30, 50, and 60 for the secured stored data and files.
The all-new desktop Mac Pro 2019 freshly debuts with multiple high-speed PCI Express 3.0 slots internally first ever appeared at the tower Mac Pro series, which is very ideal for the expansion to the external Netstor desktop high-capacity PCIe 3.0 storage by way of next-level and blazing-fast data transmission rate in favor of the varied demanding workflows in all fields.
Built with two front and two rear 12×12 cm cooling fans, the well-devised airflow ventilation architecture does genuinely allow the air to be smoothly ventilated out of the desktop storage enclosure in the company of ultra low dBA sound level to suit all sorts of production and environment.
The Netstor 16-bay desktop storage is created to support all kinds of computer operating system platforms; furthermore, the storage itself simply doesn’t require a driver for operation and application. Thus the NS780S-G3 does work with all computers and servers running Windows/Linux and Mac Pro 2019 running macOS.
