• SAS zoning support up to 6 hosts with Y cables
• A simple, affordable, easy-to-deploy storage expansion solution.
• Use one D1212 as a stand-alone JBOD, or daisy-chain up to 7 more per SAS Chain. This provides access for up to 96 HDDs or SSDs using only one HBA.
• Jusqu'à 8 D1212 enclosures are supported per SAS Chain
• Each D1212 contains 12 hot-swap 3.5-inch bays, supporting HDDs and SSDs. This means a maximum of 96 drives/960TB(Risk to change to 768TB)supported per SAS Chain
• Available drives include enterprise-class 10,000rpm SAS HDDs, high-capacity nearline (NL) 7,200rpm SAS HDDs, and high-performance/high-capacity SAS SSDs.
• Standard models include dual SAS I/O modules. Each module includes three 12Gb SAS ports (IN and OUT)—four total per enclosure. Using only two ports enables an enclosure to be daisy-chained to the ones before and after it. Using both SAS IO modules enables high availability.
• Integrates seamlessly with all Lenovo servers.
• High availability via dual I/O modules, redundant PSUs, and hot-swap drives.
• An effective storage solution for workloads such as data backup, data caching, vidéosurveillance, media streaming, email hosting, virtualisation de serveur, file management, and print serving.
• Ideal for cost-sensitive customers, space-constrained environments, current and future high-capacity needs, and server/storage virtualization. It reduces the burden on over utilized internal server storage, and offers extreme capacity for archive and cold storage solutions.
• Shares common parts with the D1224 DAS unit for I/O modules and PCMs.

The D1212 is optimized for performance at an affordable price. High-capacity 3.5-inch NL drives offer up to 120TB* of “cold” or archive storage in only 2U, and 960TB* per SAS Chain in 16U. 10,000rpm 12Gbps SAS drives offer the speed needed for many performance-intensive workloads, and SSDs provide the extreme throughput necessary for the most I/O-intensive jobs, along with high capacity.

The D1212 shares common parts with D1224 DAS enclosures. This simplifies servicing and reduces spare parts on hand, helping to reduce costs further. You can also save money on file/storage servers by deploying one server running virtualized environments with up to 960TB* of DAS capacity, rather than using multiple servers with one JBOD apiece.
