Complete Storage Solution for Big Data

The ASUS Z10PC-D8/SAS supports 8-port SAS 12Gb/s from LSI 3008 controller with PCI-E Gen3 interface to provide high reliability storage solution for big data. It meets users’ needs with support for SAS 12Gb/s and SATA 6Gb/s storage and integrated RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E and RAID 10 data protection. The Z10PC-D8/SAS is also built with Intel® C612 chipset which natively supports up to 10 SATA 6Gb/s ports. With onboard LSI 3008 RAID controller and Intel® C612 chipset, Z10PC-D8/SAS provides large storage capacity for data center, Hadoop storage servers, and other storage server applications.

Compatible with ATX Cases

Z10PC-D8/SAS serverboard supports dual Intel® Xeon® server processors in a 12” x 10.5” compact size with ATX mounting hole locations. This gives you the freedom to mount Z10PC-D8/SAS in many off-the-shelf ATX case options, avoiding the complication and expense of sourcing specialist propriety case designs – ensures end customers can benefit from up-to-date server technologies with affordable budget.

Mass Storage Capacity in 1U and Additional OS Storage

Z10PC-D8/SAS is equipped with up to 18 SATA 6Gb/s ports, offering support for mass storage capacity. In an alternative configuration, Z10PC-D8/SAS has 17 SATA 6 Gb/s and an M.2 slot for a solid-state drive — ideal for an operating system boot drive. Furthermore, with the onboard LSI 3008 design, users are able to build a most space-saving 1U solution with mass storage capacity, without the need to upgrade through 1U riser card, making it the best recipe for 1U storage server applications.

Premium Components for Premium Efficiency

ASUS Z10 server board series design the premium power solution with the hand-chosen components and provide premium efficiency which is up to 94%. The premium power solution consist 4 pillars to achieve the 94% premium efficiency: Beat Thermal Choke, Dr. MOS, 12K capacitor and Digi+ VRM. A special fin design of Beat-Thermal-Choke results in 3-5℃ lower choke temperatures and raise the stability, and translates into minimal-loss power delivery. The Dr. MOS is a proven stable circuit integrated MOSFET, which can optimize the switching performance and contribute the efficiency to the system. ASUS DIGI+ VRM design empowers users with superior flexibility and has the perfect precision to ensure optimized performance, extreme system stability. Moreover, ASUS is the world’s first server manufacturer to introduce 12K solid capacitors which are able to withstand up to 1,200,000 hours of temperatures as high as 65°C (12K hours@105°C). These 12K capacitors can also lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) and thus to increase efficiency and minimal heat generation.
