Overview

The Proware EP-2243 SAS RAID is Proware's most versatile SAS / SATA Disk Array system, ideal for midrange and high capacity storage application. The EP-2243 equipped Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface which supports both 2.5" SFF SAS and SATA disk drives. The ability to mix SAS and SATA drives allows the EP-2243 to be used for a range fo applications that require different price/performance characteristics.

Cost-effective SATA drives can be selected for high capacity orientated storage such as disk-to-disk backup applications including transactional databases. Hosting multiple tiers of data in an EP-2243 configuration gives organisations the flexibility to meet both their technical requirements and budgetry constraints with a single unified solution.
