Description

Areca Arc-9224FD-QR4
4U 24Bay Fiber to SAS storage system
Dual 16Gb/s Fiber RAID controllers
 

Host Interface

Fibre-to-SAS : 4 x 16Gb/s Fibre channels per controller

High Performance ROC

Dual Core RAID-on-Chip (ROC) 1.2 GHz

2GB (default), up to 8GB DDR3-1866 ECC Protection

Drive Interface

Up to 512 12Gb/s SAS/SATA drives, using SAS expanders

One downstream SFF-8644 (4 x 12Gb/s) expansion connectors per controller

There are three different interface in this 9224 series, SAS, FIber and iSCSI. This unit is Fiber interface

The 12Gb/s SAS interface supports both 12Gb/s SAS disk drives for data-intensive applications and 6Gb/s SATA drives for low-cost bulk storage of reference data. The Fibre/SAS/iSCSI to 12Gb/s SAS RAID controllers attach directly to SATA/SAS midplanes with 3/4 x Z-PACK HM-Zd high speed connectors or increase capacity using one additional Min SAS HD SFF-8644 external connector.


The 12Gb/s SAS RAID subsystem supports flexible interface configuration; 8 x 12Gb/s SAS ports, 2/4 x 16Gb/s fibre channels or 2 x 10Gb/s iSCSI channel host and 4 x 12Gb/s SAS port expanders for performance and easy expansion. When used with 12Gb/s SAS expanders, the controller can provide up to (256) devices through one or more SAS JBODs, making it an ideal solution for enterprise class storage applications that calls for maximum configuration flexibility.
