Adaptec FS4100 JBOD

The Adaptec FS4100 Fibre to SATA JBOD delivers high performance, scalability, and flexibility to the midrange storage market combining the performance and connectivity benefits of Fibre Channel with the cost advantages of SATA drives. This high density JBOD is designed for DAS or SAN configurations and is an ideal solution for applications that require a combination of affordability, bandwidth, greater fault tolerance, additional availability, and easy scalability.

Note: Only drivers that are not included or embedded within a supported operating system are listed below. To see a complete list of supported operating systems see the Product Specifications

Select your operating system or software below

Supported Operating Systems
	Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 RedHat Linux 8.0 (2.4 Kernel)

Benefits
	No single point of failure with redundant, hot-swappable components and a passive midplane. RAID controllers mask the drives’ SATA characteristics, presenting them to the host as high performance FC devices.

Key Differentiators
	Combined performance and connectivity benefits of Fibre Channel with the cost advantages of SATA drives. Passive, 3Gbit-ready, midplane.

Customer Needs
	Cost-effective, performance, and flexibility for the midrange storage market

System Environment
	Adaptec Storage Examiner management GUI under Windows, Linux.

Capacity
	Up to 12 drives (3 TB) capacity per 2U enclosure, with a total maximum of 96 drives (38 TB) capacity per subsystem

Network or Host Interface
	One or two Fibre Channel controllers; each controller supports up to four optical or copper (SFP) connections, 200 MB/s each (800 MB/s total) Ports can be used for host connections or as a combination of host connection and expansion Serial (RS232) port

Data Transfer Rate
	Up to 350 MByte/sec

Package Contents
	Storage enclosure with either one or two controllers Quick Install Guide CD containing Adaptec Storage Examiner management software and user documentation (Disk drives sold separately)

Warranty
	3-year warranty on subsystems (3 year warranty on SATA disk drives)
