EqualLogic Tops Off SAS Series

EqualLogic is determined to show that iSCSI SAS is as good, or better, than Fibre Channel. Six months after launching its first SAS-based products, the vendor has unveiled the PS3900XV, representing a new high end in its product line.

The PS3900XV, which will ship March 12, supports 4.8 Tbytes of capacity in 300-Gbyte SAS disks that spin at 15,000 rpm -- the speed of Fibre Channel disks. It's the third in the vendor's series of PS3900 products, which includes the 4.8-Tbyte PS3600X, equipped with 10,000-rpm SAS; and the PS3800XV, which also supports 15,000-rpm drives but tops out at 2.3 Tbytes of capacity.
