[SOLD] For Sale: 24TB SAS Raid with SAS Expander

[Steve Freebairn]

SOLD

This is for a 24TB SAS Raid with a SAS expander as seen on this page http://www.maxxdigital.com/evo-6g-8bay-rackmount-expando.html .

The one I am selling has a black face plate and black trays. It comes with 8 Hitachi 6 Gbit drives, model HDS723030ALA640. They have about 6 months left of warranty on them.

This comes with a power cable and the raid chassis, drives, drive trays and a 2 meter Sas Cable. YOU WILL NEED A SAS RAID CARD IN ORDER TO CONNECT THIS. I'd recommend either an Atto R680 or Areca 1880



I'm looking for $4000+shipping

We sell off gear that is specific to one project or another after the project ends. We own 4, and only need 3 now, so that is why it is being sold. Thanks for looking!


THIS RAID IS STILL AVAILABLE

How mobile is the rack mount RAID system?

 

[Will Keir]

This unit is 24TB of storage? All 24TB? $4000 for 24TB is a ridiculous value.

What kind of read and write speeds do you get on the drives?

[Steve Freebairn]

Yes this unit is 24TB of storage, if you do Raid 5, then it's 21TB, Raid 6 is 18TB usable. Depending on which configuration you choose for the raid and which raid card (usually we use R680s) you'll easily see 800+ Read/Write. When it is empty it's 1000MB/sec.


You need to buy an R680 or Areca 1880 to run the SAS raid or you could daisy chain it as this has a built in SAS expander.

I'd say that it's not very portable, but that depends on what you have it mounted in.

Not super portable, but I do see more and more DIT and VV guys with mobile racks on set. It's pretty regular out here.

These guys have MAXX Digital's EVO and other stuff on display in their mobile carts:

For sure, it depends on what you consider mobile. I've been all over with Maxx's raids on multiple projects and loved them. If you're talking about if you'd ever use it with like a run and gun laptop setup, for sure it's not portable.

This really boils down to what else you have and where it is mounted.

Just wanted to bump this ad instead of listing another identical ad. I'm now selling another one of these units.
