100.0TB - 240TB RAID combines SAS and SATA-II 6.0Gb/s
and 12.0Gb/s storage technologies with 3.4GB/sec.4xiSCSI Channel SAN host interface to data protection RAID 6 in a
4U rack-optimized enclosure.
The innovative GVS-designed Nomadic 4U RAID architecture combines affordable, high-capacity 6GB SAS and SATA-II/III drive technology with a quad iSCSI channel host interface per hardware RAID controller, reliable data access. Each GVS Drive Module uses
a dedicated 6.0Gb/s SAS or SATA drive channel, maximizing the Gigabit/s Per Channel host connection.
