Based on the HGST 4U60 Storage Enclosure, this high-density, scalable, and cost-effective design includes up to 60 HGST Ultrastar<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> 3.5-inch SAS hard drives modules in a 4U enclosure. Utilizing helium to fill the platter chamber instead of air, HGST Ultrastar<sup>\u00a0<\/sup>hard drives are 47% more efficient (WATTS\/TB) than conventional units. This energy efficiency combined with\u00a012Gb\/s SAS performance, high availability (HA), hot-swappable components, and a 5 year bumper-to-bumper warranty delivers\u00a0the perfect storage solution for a variety of data center projects.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_JBOD_Many_Uses\"><\/span>One JBOD, Many Uses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The J4600S has proven to be an extremely versatile unit for a wide range\u00a0of use cases. \u00a0With the option to use up to 8 SSD devices per unit, there are numerous caching and tiering configurations available. This JBOD has been extensively tested with our two most common Software Defined Storage solutions and has proven to be a perfect solution for both regular and HA environments. In addition, we have created many\u00a0&#8216;recipes&#8217; in our lab for such applications as Ceph, Swift, and virtualized environments. The J4600S has proven to be so versatile and reliable, it is our go to storage enclosure for all our new enterprise class storage projects.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dense_and_Smart\"><\/span>Dense and Smart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to storage, it is important to get the best solution for the job. That&#8217;s why we love the J4600S.\u00a0Not only is it one of the densest solutions available on the market, it has the smarts to provide low power consumption and the enterprise features that today&#8217;s data centers demand.
