Key Features
-
Genuine NetApp Part: Ensures perfect fit, firmware compatibility, and seamless integration with the NetApp E-Series storage chassis and SANtricity OS.
-
Massive 64GB Cache: Equipped with a very large 64GB of onboard cache to dramatically accelerate I/O performance and improve the responsiveness of your storage array, especially in mixed-workload environments.
-
Quad-Port iSCSI Connectivity: A key feature is its four iSCSI host ports, providing high-throughput and redundant connectivity for modern server and storage workloads. (The specific speed, e.g., 10GbE or 25GbE, depends on the SFP+ transceivers used).
-
Dual Controller High Availability: Designed to be installed in pairs within an E-Series chassis to create a redundant, high-availability storage solution with no single point of failure.
