RAID Inc. has partnered with Seagate, the enterprise drive leader for the past thirty years, to help further their entry into the Small Form Factor storage space. Their Unified Storage architecture converges best-of-breed technologies (Serial Attached SCSI, small form factor and Self-Encrypting Drives) to enable powerful yet simple external storage and internal server storage solutions that enable business sustainability while cutting TCO and boosting ROI.

The Razor product is currently available in single or dual controller configurations with 3Gb SAS or 4Gb Fibre-Channel host connectivity options. It scales up to 60 drives in a 5U total form factor using redundant expansion chassis, providing a maximum of 18TB of high-performance disk space. Since the drives are 70% smaller than a traditional 3.5-inch drive solution, more system airflow becomes available, resulting in lower cooling costs.

"The qualification of the 300GB 2.5" SAS drive for the Razor solution is a critical tool in satisfying the growing storage requirements of our customers' applications", stated Bob Picardi, Chief Operating Officer at RAID Incorporated. "We now have the ability to more than double the capacity of the previous generation of the product to go along with its already impressive I/O capabilities. The Razor is truly a unique solution in the storage market today in terms of performance, physical space efficiency, and overall value."
