XJ100 SAS/SATA JBOD Series
Today’s high performance storage system is mostly designed with a heavy rackmount enclosure with costly Fibre Channel or SCSI interface. With lighter, cost effective, and convenient enclosures in demand, AIC introduces this small footprint storage box with unprecedented 1200MB/s SAS Link.
Users can choose high performance Serial Attached SCSI drives as well as low cost SATA drives. For its low cost and small size, XJ 100 SAS JBOD’s performance proves users’ expectations. It is the ideal solution for HD Video storage and many other desktop storage applications you can imagine.


High Performance
The maximum performance per host connection is 1200MB/sec, which is higher than a single 4G or even 8G Fibre Channel connection. The performance of the bus is achieved by combining four SAS channels with each supporting 3Gbps full duplex speed. Together with a high-speed SAS HBA or SAS RAID controller card in the host server, this storage enclosure can deliver an unprecedented performance. Thanks to the high performance SAS throughput, you can play multiple High Definition Video clips and edit them because storage is no longer the bottleneck of your application.

SAS and SATA Compatibility
This enclosure is designed specifically for individuals who are looking for high performance/reliability and high capacity/low cost solutions. Customer can choose to install Serial Attached SCSI 3G or SATA 3G/1.5G drives mixed in the same box.

Large Storage Capacity and Scalability
For cost and capacity considerations, XJ100 SAS JBOD supports 5 x 3.5” SATA drives, which endorses up to 5TB of RAID 5 storage. The high performance SAS expander inside the box, provides an expansion port allowing this JBOD to be cascaded to another for more capacity. Up to 120 drives can be cascaded from a single SAS initiator.

Easy Maintenance and Management
All of AIC’s SAS Enclosures are cable-less with hot-swappable disk carriers. It is easy for technicians or users to configure or maintain. This system supports SES (SCSI Enclosure Service) for status monitoring and in-band firmware update. Also, a software independent serial port can be used for firmware update and more sophisticated status check. Only one cable is needed for connection.
