So even though the new D4390 currently supports a smaller capacity drive, 18TB vs. 20TB, you can fit more chassis’ in the same rack space.
The ThinkSystem D4390 is an energy-efficient, high-density JBOD for Software Defined Storage that uses up to 62 percent less power compared to the previous generation and reduces data center space requirements by as much as 60 percent. The D4390 is a single expansion platform using existing infrastructure that lowers TCO. The 4U chassis supports up to 1620TB of “cold” or archive storage and can grow to 8.1PB in 20U by daisy-chaining the enclosures.
The D4390 Direct Attached Storage features include:
The D4390 supports the following SAS drives:
Additional drives and expansion units are designed to be dynamically added with virtually no downtime (operating system dependent) to quickly and efficiently respond to growing capacity demands.
The D4390 Direct Attached Storage is designed to offer high levels of system and data availability with the following technologies:
