This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 21, 2012 at 2:55 pmIntelligent Computer Solutions, Inc. (ICS) announces the Image MASSter 4000PRO X2 SAS.
They are new members of the Image MASSter 4000PRO family of duplicators. With twice the processing power of its original version, all units feature native support for SAS, SATA, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 drives as well as other common drive interfaces through the use of optional adapters.
Scalable, they come with built-in support to connect an optional 8 Port Add-on Module, providing the capability to copy and wipe up to 16 drives simultaneously. The unit’s internal PCIe Bus allows users to add an array of PCIe cards to expand the unit’s support for additional drive interfaces such as SCSI, FC, FireWire and more.
"Technology is always changing and the high demand for more versatile and faster hard drive duplicators does not wait," states Ezra Kohavi, president of ICS. "The new Image MASSter 4000PRO X2 SAS units are released utilizing the latest technology available to perform more copy operations, support more interfaces and process more drives simultaneously."
Additionally, the Image MASSter 4000PRO X2 SAS units support SHA-1 and SHA-2 Hardware Accelerated Drive Hashing as well as the standard MD-5 Hashing method. With built-in hard drive encryption technology, target drive’s data can be secured utilizing the NIST approved AES-256 encryption standard.
All units feature a native 1GbE connection to upload or download drive images to a network storage area and can be optionally customized to support 10GbE connectivity, utilizing the internal PCIe Bus.
The IM4000PRO product lines have a compact footprint. The Cable-Free Drive Caddy solution is designed for easy drive insertion minimizing maintenance costs and wear and tear issues associated with the use of cables.
