Take a Closer Look
Automatic Power Savings
Save up to 87% on energy costs with AutoMAIDTM power management. Each RAID set can have its drives progress into deeper power savings. AutoMAID is ideal for backup to disk or bulk storage; interface allows you to easily customize or change power policy.
Availability with Hot-swappable Management
Density without application downtime - ActiveDrawer TechnologyTM enables IT managers to easily service drives or fans while the system is being actively used without heavy lifting or having to power down.
Reliability from State-of-the-Art Vibration Control
Improve system performance and reliability with Anti-Vibration Design, featuring hard drives that are arranged in couplets and counter-rotated to eliminate vibrations between drives.
