Seagate_6Gb_SAS_SC216AToday, LSI announced a collaboration with Supermicro to bring end to end 6Gb SAS solutions to the channel.

This is great news for system builders who want to expand their offering to SMBs to include next generation server and storage systems.  Seagate’s leadership in bringing enterprise class drives with the 6Gb SAS interface can now be realized in the channel with a long awaited ecosystem now expanding.

LSI controllers + Supermicro chassis + Seagate drives = SMB end-to-end 6Gb SAS solutions.

6 reasons to flex your muscles 6Gb SAS solutions

  1. Pre-tested interoperability for ease of integration and faster time to market
  2. Up to 2X the performance
  3. Flexibility of system design using 2.5-inch 7200, 10,000, or 15,000 RPM drives
  4. Match OEM offerings of 100% 2.5-inch tiered storage system
  5. TCG compliant enterprise data encryption
  6. Less complexity and less power

It’s just a matter of time before 6Gb SAS is as widespread as SCSI and FC combined.

This is a big step in enabling the channel to make it happen.
