- Next-generation SAS expansion enclosures
- Supports high bandwidth and random I/O applications with 6 Gbps x4-wide SAS ports
- Support for up to 24 TB of SAS physical disk storage in a single enclosure and up to 384 TB when fully expanded up to 192 drives
- Uses enterprise class, engineering, and development to help ensure best-of-breed technology and robustness
- High-performance SAS, capacity-optimized SAS hard disk drives and self-encrypting drives (SEDs) intermix support
- Redundant components support continuous access to data for data availability 24x7
- EXP3512 and EXP3524 expansion units can be intermixed behind a single DS3500 for optimal data utilization and efficiency:
- EXP3512 can offer the highest flexibility with support for a full range of requirements—high capacity and low cost to high-performance critical applications
- EXP3524 is ideal for IOPs-intensive applications and energy-efficiency requirements with the highest IOPs/watt and 134 percent improvement in IOPs/U (compared to EXP3000 expansion unit)
- Power supplies designed to meet multiple power efficiency standards
- Uses Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) standard architecture designed for robust system environments
