The Adaptec FS4100 Fibre to SATA JBOD
delivers high performance, scalability,
and flexibility to the midrange storage 
market combining the performance and 
connectivity benefits of Fibre Channel 
with the cost advantages of SATA drives.
This high density JBOD is designed for   
DAS or SAN configurations and is an ideal
solution for applications that require a 
combination of affordability, bandwidth,
greater fault tolerance, additional availability,
and easy scalability.
Enhanced SATA Reliability and Performance
Key to the performance of the Adaptec
FS4100 JBOD are the dual active, failover/
failback intelligent controller modules,
providing up to 350 MByte/sec. The 
controllers mask the SATA characteristics 
of the drives, presenting them to the host 
as Fibre Channel devices.
The Adaptec FS4100 maximizes SATA 
drive reliability and performance through
enhanced thermal and rotational vibration
characteristics. The system boasts no 
single point of failure with redundant,
hot-swappable components. Adaptec dual
channel multiplexer (DCM) technology
allows dual controllers to access each 
SATA drive for non-disruptive availability.
Exceptional Scalability and Investment Protection
Each system supports up to 12 disk drives
or 3 TByte (using 250 GByte drives) in a
dense 2U form factor. This modular design
has additional investment protection with
a 3 Gbit ready midplane. As storage needs
grow, additional systems can be easily added
dynamically – up to a total of eight subsystems.
Each intelligent controller supports up to
four Fibre Channel host connections for up
to eight connections per system. The Adaptec
FS4100 can also be deployed as an expansion
system for the Adaptec FS4500 RAID.
Innovative Modular Architecture
The Adaptec FS4100 is based on Adaptec
advanced Flexible Storage Architecture (FSA).
A modular, state-of-the-art design, FSA
enables users to quickly and economically
optimize individual storage solutions 
to changing application requirements 
and network environments by adding 
component “building blocks.” The result 
is a universal solution for enterprises 
seeking flexible storage systems that 
address current and future needs,
and unexpected changes.
Comprehensive Storage Management
Designed for Adaptec JBOD storage 
systems, Adaptec Storage Examiner is 
an easy-to-use GUI-based tool that allows
administrators to monitor performance,
capacity, and health of subsystems,
providing timely alert notifications of
events and status changes at the system 
or component level.
Worldwide Service and Interoperability Testing
Adaptec helps ensure the performance and
availability of your storage with a flexible
support program – from telephone assistance
to on-site maintenance – tailored to meet your
needs. Adaptec works closely with industry
leaders, testing various technologies and
products to ensure seamless interoperability.
