Description
Areca ARC-8028-32 (32 Port SAS expander module)
The ARC-8028 supports DataBolt™ Bandwidth Optimizer to buffer 6Gb/s data and then transfer it out to the host at 12Gb/s speeds in order to match the bandwidth between faster hosts and slower SAS or SATA devices. It also supports failover function for improving system reliability for today’s data center and storage subsystems.
An ATX I/O Shield is a small metal plate located at the back of each rackmount chassis that provide openings for different I/O ports of a motherboard.
ARC-8028MB-Mounting Bracket for user to leverage the ATX I/O Shield position as ARC-8028 box I/O port. You can use ARC-8028MB to fit ARC-8028 box I/O port in the standard ATX I/O-Slot found in a Rackmount Chassis.
