Universal scalability for Snap Server 520, 550, 4500, 18000, 650, 720i, 730i and 750i

The Adaptec SANbloc S50 JBOD is the simplest way to integrate the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) into your storage strategy. Whether you are creating or scaling your storage solution, the Adaptec S50 enables you to scale to multiple terabytes of data capacity. Use low-cost Serial ATA (SATA) or high-performance SAS drives to achieve the right balance of performance and cost.

The SANbloc S50 is perfect for data- and transaction-intensive applications. Dual SAS host connections transfer terabytes of data at speeds up to 1200MB/s each, for an aggregate bandwidth of 2400MB/s..

• 2400MB/s bandwidth in a redundant system
• Choose SAS or SATA drives to balance performance, reliability and cost
• Meet growing data demands with 12TB of SATA storage or 3.6TB of SAS storage
• Point-to-point connectivity isolates drive failures, increasing reliability and performance
