This fully featured subsystem is the result of Storageflex’s two (2)
decades of data storage experience. Each feature, both form and
function, relate to multiple short and long term benefits. The
following is a list of features, functions, and benefits.
3945N iSCSI & NAS Systems are available in 1U, 2U, 3U,
5U and 8U 50 Hot Swap SAS or SATA2 Drive Bays with internal capacity of
15TB of SAS or
50TB of SATA2 RAID Storage before adding external expansion options.
