About this product
The Promise VTrak E5600f is a 3U rackmount modular SAN array, designed for high-capacity storage needs. This unit features a single controller RAID configuration and comes equipped with 16 bays populated with 4TB HDDs, totaling 64TB of pre-installed storage. It supports both SAS and SATA interfaces for drive compatibility and utilizes 16G FC (Fibre Channel) for high-speed data transfer. The system is unmanaged, offering direct control over its operation.
Our take
If you're looking for a robust and high-capacity storage solution, this Promise VTrak E5600f offers a compelling package. The inclusion of 16x 4TB HDDs means you get 64TB of raw storage right out of the box, which is excellent for large-scale data environments. The 16G FC interface provides significant bandwidth for demanding applications. However, it's an unmanaged unit, meaning you'll need expertise to configure and maintain it effectively. The single controller setup is a consideration for those prioritizing redundancy, but for the price, the sheer capacity and Fibre Channel connectivity are strong points.
