14 Drive solution in a 3 U Formation with the option of single or dual controllers. Each controller has 2 x 4Gb Fibre Channel Ports and 2 x Ethernet GigE Ports.

Present maximum capacity with 1TB SATA Drives os 14TB.

The highly scalable SATABoy enables cost-effective storage of large amounts of information online, while its exceptional performance ensures faster response times for mission critical applications. SATABoy is equally capable of delivering high IOPS for transactional applications and sustaining maximum MB/s throughput for high bandwidth applications such as streaming media.

SATABoy offers the energy saving benefits of Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™ technology. AutoMAID™ (Massive Array of Idle Disks) allows SATABoy to place its disk drives into an idle state to conserve energy yet provide near-instantaneous access to data. This powerful combination of high performance with energy saving capabilities enables users to maximize the total return on their storage hardware investment. offers the energy saving benefits of Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™ technology.
