In combination with 10,000 RPM drives, the array excels at bandwidth-intensive applications such as web servers, and database applications. The servers may access the disk drives as individual storage components or may use software RAID solutions to aggregate the disk drives into bigger logical disk volumes. Power and fan components in the disk enclosure are redundant and may be replaced while the subsystem is operating. Dual power supplies, choice of DC or AC power. Dual fan trays, each with two fans.
Fans speed up in response to higher temperatures.
Three fans active out of four will cool the controller indefinitely. Two fans will support the tray for at least 8 hours. One controller module with either 24 MB or 80 MB of DRAM and battery pack. Easy to service while online. 10Krpm 18.2GB or 36.2GB disks.
