Affordable Tiered Storage
A total of seven JBOD expansion units can be added. These highly flexible expansion arrays support SAS, SATA, and SSD drives within a single chassis, allowing you the flexibility to manage tiered storage within a single system. Dot Hill storage systems offer an affordable, dynamic, flexible for any sized enterprise.
The 3120 JBOD expansion unit can support an additional 24 2.5-inch drives and easily expands the capacity of any 3000 Series SAN.
