Connect the Rocstor Thunderstor XR48 16TB Thunderbolt 2 Rackmount RAID Array to your Thunderbolt-enable computer to provide your Windows, Linux, or Mac system with four additional PCIe x16 slots as well as 16TB of RAID-capable storage drives. The Thunderstor XR48 features eight 2.5" hot-swappable drive bays, which house eight 2TB SATA SSDs. To enhance this storage solution, Rocstor has included an ATTO 6Gb SAS RAID controller that lets you set the drives in a RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 10 50, or 60 array via a browser-based GUI system. This PCIe x8 controller card also occupies one of the four PCIe slots and comes with 1GB of ECC memory. In addition, the Rocstor Thunderstor XR48 comes with a rackmountable design that lets you attach it to a desk or rack cabinet.
The Rocstor Thunderstor XR48 RAID array supports virtually all full-height and full-length PCI cards. For powering the drives and dedicated graphics cards, a 430W power supply is on board. The XR48 sports four Thunderbolt 2 ports, which are driven by two independent Thunderbolt 20 Gb/s bridge circuits. Each of these circuits manages two of the four PCIe slots, providing high-speed bandwidth for your demanding applications. You connect the Thunderstor XR48 to your computer utilizing two of the four Thunderbolt 2 ports. The two remaining ports allow you to daisy-chain other Thunderbolt devices to your system. Furthermore, an integrated fan helps keep the drives and your PCI cards cool.
