Data protection with support for RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 3, 5 and 6. Multiple RAID sets and multiple partitions per set are supported, reducing the number of required parity disks.
All mission-critical components including RAID controllers, host connections, drives, fans and power supplies are hot-swappable and completely redundant. No blades or sleeves - eliminates need to rebuild arrays in case of failure.
Connect to any operating system, no drivers needed.
Greener storage delivers 60% energy savings and reduces operating costs without compromising performance. Drives can be transparently placed in an idle state, with configurable access speeds and energy saving levels.

"Our experience with the Nexsan SATABeast has been a very positive one. It has allowed us to reduce our cost per TB by 75% over our traditional large-scale SAN solution. In addition, their simple design has greatly improved reliability. As a result of completely replacing our multi-petabyte tape storage solution with SATABeast direct disks, we now get 10 times the performance and have eliminated the constant malfunctions we dealt with under the tape library solution.

We have been able to meet the storage demands of our very diverse client base because of the flexibility provided to us on the SATABeast platform, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional SAN system ."
