With the ability to expand, by adding up to four StorTrends 3201i JBODs, StorTrends 3400i enables organizations to solve all their data storage pain points with a single StorTrends system. Along with its SAS expander for JBOD expansion, the option to add two additional NIC ports or 10 GB Ethernet helps in faster performance. With 6 Gbps SAS interface, StorTrends 3400i supports multi drive technologies, from the high performance flash-based Solid State Drives (SSD) to low cost SATA drives.
StorTrends 3400i also features SMART Awareness, which gives early warnings to administrators on probable drive failures thereby enabling them to take necessary precautions. With ManageTrends web GUI, vital information about the drives is reported alongside the overall health status of the storage system.
