®

Features

• Ease of integration

• SCSI investment protection

• Designed for 1.4 million 

hours MTTF

• 24 x 7 dependability

• Dual port accessibility

• Proven Atlas family 

platform

• SMART features

Higher System Availability
• Dual port provides two data paths to

each disk drive increasing the drive’s
availability

• Multi-initiator capability enables multiple

hosts to access a drive simultaneously

• Point-to-point connectivity for better fault

isolation

• More than 16,000 devices per SAS

domain

• Scalable bandwidth via wide ports, i.e.

up to 24 Gb/s peak bandwidth with 4
SAS links configured as a wide port with
full duplex

End User Flexibility
• Configuration flexibility allow end-users

to mix and match SAS and SATA drives
to fit their specific application

• SAS back-planes can accommodate dual

port / high performance SAS drives
and/or high capacity / lower cost SATA
drives

Performance
• Up to 128 queue depth support for

improved IOPS performance

• Full duplex capability allow drives to send

and receive data for two different IO oper-
ations simultaneously

• Point-to-point connectivity eliminates the

bottleneck inherent with a shared/arbitrat-
ed bus

• Scalable bandwidth via wide ports

• Rate matching supports 1.5Gbs SATA 

and 3.0Gbs SAS drives for optimal 
performance

• Employs the SCSI command set to main-

tain compatibility with existing SCSI infra-
structures

MaxAdapt Features  
• Adaptive Bias Estimation (ABE)—

Maintains consistent performance by
adjusting the bias applied to the actuator

• Virtual Cache Lines (VCL)—Allows dynam-

ic assignment of cache segments

• Rotational Vibration Compensation 

(RVC)—Monitors and corrects for 
external vibration

Reliability
• 1,400,000 hours MTTF
• State-of-the-art manufacturing processes
• Multiple temperature tests
• Improved SMART and self-diagnostics
