100TB RAIDdeluxe RDL-BS12G4-R2 Storage System by Starline

With a dozen HDDs, up to 100TB of capacity, easy administration and performance, the newcomer among the RAID systems is recommended for price conscious data collectors with little space in the rack.

After the RAIDdeluxe system RDL-BS12G4-R2 has surpassed the tests of the Starline Computer GmbH‘ engineers, it is ready for costumers environments. Considering the list of features, this RAID system turns out to be a price-performance because it accommodates up to twelve drives and has comfort features, such as an LCD display.

The version with eight slots will also be available soon.

Both 3.5-inch-LFF and 2.5.inch-SFF HDDs can be integrated in to this box. The advantage: in-expansive SATA HDDs can be installed, but also SSDs are compatible with the system.

As a specialist for data-intensive applications – with a high level of protection against failures – it is capable of controlling all relevant RAID levels (see feature list). The power supply units are also redundant to prevent data loss. This also applies to the optional ‘battery backup unit’. It will buffer the up to 2GB of cache memory of the RAID controller until the data fragments contained in it are saved.
