Direct Attached Storage (DAS)

Typically Direct Attached Storage (DAS) as the name suggests are disk drives or a disk subsystem which is either in the same enclosure as the server or an external unit attached by a short cable. Direct Attached Storage (DAS) is normally connected to the server which ‘owns’ it, by a SCSI bus. There have been many technologies used to actually connect the disk to the computer, the most common are SCSI, IDE/ATA, Fiber Channel and Serial ATA (SATA).

This is typically a ‘Just a Bunch of Disks’ (JBOD) configuration and managing how the data on the disk drives is organized is under control of the server.

We provide a range of Direct Attached Storage Storage Servers (DAS), scaling from entry level units based on Serial ATA (SATA) technology with 2TB (Terabyte) through 8TB capacities. Our DAS servers include redundant power supplies and have a choice of hardware RAID levels including RAID level 0, 1 (10), 5, 6 and JBOD.

CyberStore 316 DAS – SCSI to SATA Direct Attached Storage

The CyberStore 316 DAS is a direct attached storage system that provides up to 8TB of RAID storage. It connects to one or two servers via an Ultra 320 SCSI cable. Linux, UNIX, Windows and Apple servers are supported. The CyberStore 316 DAS provides complete hardware based RAID storage. All that is needed is an Ultra 320 SCSI adapter in the host server and an Ultra 320/160 external cable.
