About this product
The Infortrend EonStor ESS24G2B5D0 is a 24-bay SAS storage array, designed for professional-grade data storage solutions. This unit comes with a controller but does not include any hard drives, allowing users to select and install their preferred SAS drives. It functions as a hard drive array, suitable for environments requiring high capacity and robust data management, leveraging the SAS interface for reliable connectivity.
Our take
For those building out a serious storage solution, this Infortrend EonStor 24-bay array provides an excellent foundation. The fact that it's a 'no drives' solution is a double-edged sword: you save on initial cost and get to pick your own SAS drives, but you also need to factor in the expense and effort of sourcing them. The SAS interface is a strong point for performance and reliability in a professional setting. It's clearly aimed at users who know exactly what kind of drives and RAID configurations they need for their specific applications.
