KEY BENEFITS
With SATABeast, Nexsan engineers have architected the industry's most complete and cost effective high capacity storage system. SATABeast's advanced mechanical design provides superior cooling for optimal thermal operation, reduces drive vibration and delivers outstanding energy efficiency in an extreme density (42 drives in 4U high) form factor. SATABeast's unique design extends individual drive life and provides TCO savings year over year.

SATABeast's unique combination of technologies delivers unsurpassed performance, reliability and cost savings for a broad range of storage requirements. With an extreme density design that provides a compact footprint and scales to hundreds of terabytes of capacity in a single rack, SATABeast easily meets the demands of the most capacity hungry storage environments. Dual controllers using Nexsan's award winning Performance SATA™ design provides blistering throughput performance with 42 spindles that can be segmented into multiple RAID sets or a single large storage pool.

All individual SATABeast components are fully redundant and hot swappable. SATABeast has full cache coherency design to ensure data integrity even with power loss.

The SATABeast's NexScan management interface is built into the SATABeast controller, alleviating the need to have a separate server or application manage the storage array. This sophisticated management utility monitors and reports the status of all subsystems over a 10/100/1000-network port.
