Product Description

Nomadic3U Specifications


8.0TB RAID combines SATA-II 3.0Gb/s storage technologies with 3.2GB/sec Fibre Channel Speed and data protection in a 3U rack-optimized enclosure

The innovative GVS-designed Nomadic3U RAID architecture combines affordable, high-capacity SATA-II drive technology with a dual to quad 2Gb Fibre Channel host interface for fast, reliable data access. Each GVS Drive Module uses a dedicated 3.0Gb/s drive channel, maximizing the 800MB/s Fibre Channel host connection.
