Zunate PCIe x8 disk array controller card, 2x SAS HBA

Zunate – PCIe x8 disk array controller card with SAS interfaces

The Zunate disk array card is an HBA controller designed for connecting multiple hard drives in servers and workstations. The card is installed in a PCI Express x8 slot (also compatible with x16 slots) and equipped with two mini SAS interfaces, supporting drives with a capacity of up to 16 TB each.

Applications and performance

The controller supports SATA3 bandwidth, and the transfer speed for SSDs reaches about 450 MB/s. The solution works well in server disk arrays, virtual tape libraries, storage devices, databases and high-performance computing environments, where stable access to many storage media at the same time matters.

Construction and reliability

The card is made of a PCB material with increased durability, which translates into stable operation and a long component life. Careful workmanship of the circuit is meant to ensure reliable operation even under the continuous load typical of a server room.

Compatibility

The controller works with desktop computers and servers running Windows Server, Linux and VMware ESXi, so it can be used both in classic file servers and in virtualization environments.
