Infortrend EonStor A16F-J1210-G1 ... accommodate a massive sixteen SATA hard drives, the ES A16F is a durable, high capacity, versatile JBOD that can be easily integrated with a large variety of other premier Infortrend FC-to-FC RAID devices and controllers.

The ES A16F JBOD comes with a single Infortrend FC-to-SATA JBOD controller and sixteen drive trays. The controller has two 2Gbps (FC-2G) host channels that are routed through two onboard hubs to four external SFP connectors, two per channel. While two SFP connectors can be connected to FC-2G host computers, the remaining two connectors can be cascaded to a second expansion JBOD. A total of seven ES A16F JBODs can be cascaded for unprecedented scalability.

The JBOD controller also comes with sixteen SATA channels that connect to the sixteen SATA drives installed in the front of the JBOD. The availability of separately purchased and individually installed SATA-to-PATA dongle kits enables the installation of PATA drives. This provides a less expensive option for an economic yet reliable JBOD.

With two redundant dual fan cooling modules and two redundant 460W powers supply units, the ES A16F JBODs have been designed to operate with extreme reliability in today's most demanding storage environments.
