EXTERNAL STORAGE DATA SHEET Snap Disk 10 Simple Scalability in a 1U Storage Expansion Array The Adaptec Snap Disk 10 expansion array has been specifically designed to provide simple, scalable capacity expansion with a minimum of downtime for the award-winning Snap Server 4500. The Snap Disk 10 features four hot-swappable disk drives that provide storage capacity, data availability, and ultimate space efficiency in a slim, 1U rack-mountable chassis. Add a Snap Disk 10 if you need a new database volume, diskbased backup space or even to handle a specific task, like archiving system disk images for quick bare metal restore times. Eliminate Storage Complexity While most vendors can only offer storage expansion and additional RAID arrays, Adaptec can expand your existing storage volume onto a new RAID array without rebuild time. The GuardianOS™ offers Instant Capacity Expansion (I.C.E.) allowing Snap Server volumes to immediately expand from an existing Snap Server 4500 onto a newly attached Snap Disk 10, without requiring time-consuming RAID rebuilds. Volumes can be scaled, reconfigured, and provisioned on the fly with no impact to network users. Intelligent Storage Budgeting This is an ideal solution, especially when budget pressures require thoughtful planning. A single Snap Server 4500 can support up to two Snap Disk 10 arrays for a maximum of 3.6TB, allowing purchases to be based on current needs and also offering easy expansion as storage requirements change. The Snap Disk 10 comes pre-configured in RAID 5. Manage the Snap Disk 10 with a Web browser that accesses the existing host server's management console. A Snap Disk 10 controller card (not included) must be purchased separately and installed in the Snap Server 4500 prior to attaching the first Snap Disk 10. Each controller has two connectors so only one card is required for up to two Snap Disk 10 arrays. All other required components (cables, software, etc.) are included with each Snap Disk 10.
