Note: The connected drive may not reach its optimal performance due to protocol translation and some overhead.
SAS dual-port advantage for fault tolerance
SAS features dual porting for redundancy, eliminating single points of failure and allowing for higher reliability and performance. By installing a SATA drive with the QDA-SA into a dual-controller Enterprise ZFS NAS, the SATA drive can share these SAS dual-port advantages to ensure a high-availability, fault tolerant enterprise storage environment.
Designed for Enterprise ZFS NAS
The QDA-SA is easily installed in the 3.5-inch disk tray of an Enterprise ZFS NAS (Disk tray model: SP-ES-TRAY-WOLOCK). (QES 2.0.0 (or later) is required for the NAS)
Note: QDA-SA does not support SSD TRIM and the drive S.M.A.R.T. feature is not supported on non-QES operating system.
