High Density, Expandable Storage System

Nexsan’s SATABeast is a high-capacity storage system ideally suited for applications requiring ultimate capacity and storage density in a minimal amount of rack space. With its storage capacity of 84TB offered via 42 drive bays, SATABeast’s small 4U footprint is geared towards primary and secondary storage functions, along with long-term bulk and disk-to-disk backup utilizations where ultra-high capacity is vital, allowing businesses to maximize their expense in data center floor space.

By utilizing the largest capacity SATA drives, SATABeast is more cost-efficient than storage arrays which typically use more expensive SCSI, SAS and Fibre Channel drives. With this combination of high density and cost-efficiency, SATABeast provides the industry’s leading price/performance value in a scalable disk solution, which makes it the smart choice for medium and mid-tier sized organizations.

As with all Nexsan solutions, SATABeast is designed for enterprise-class functions, providing tier-1 full redundancy and ultimate performance available at tier-2 prices. It’s simple to install and use. SATABeast includes innovations that utilize a combination of cost-efficient high density, space savings and Nexsan’s AutoMAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) level 3 energy-saving innovations, which allows SATABeast to save up to 60% in energy costs.
