2.5" Drive Storage Expansion

Robust Cost-effective Storage Expansion

Data storage capacity continues to expand. Today's business environment requires simple, easy ways to grow capacity without sacrificing performance and scalability. The Newisys® Data Storage NDS-2240 expansion array enables 2.5" hard drive and solid state drive extensions with linkage via standard serial attached SCSI (SAS) protocol and enclosure services linked via SES firmware. The NDS-2240 is a perfect expansion companion for other Newisys Data Storage products such as the NDS-8200 storage application server, as well as the NDS-5120 FC and NDS-5125 iSCSI storage arrays.
