Accusys A12T3-Share is a revolutionary 12-bay tower RAID storage system with a single power supply. By adopting the latest Thunderbolt 3 technologies, Accusys positions itself as a leader in the storage innovation. Building on the success of its previous Thunderbolt SAN generation, the A12T3-Share is set to make a big splash.
The Thunderbolt 3 on A12T3-Share offers more speed, more power, and more possibilities. It has 4 Thunderbolt 3 host ports, and its read/write speed is twice as fast as Thunderbolt 2. You can configure it as a Storage Area Network (SAN) storage pool with SAN software or partition it into multiple storage volumes for high - performance direct - attached storage with large capacity.
A12T3-Share is the ultimate Thunderbolt 3 shareable storage solution. There's no need for Thunderbolt to fibre channel adapters or a fibre channel switch. With 4 Thunderbolt connections, it allows 4 Thunderbolt clients to share content at up to 2600 MB/s transfer speeds, enabling true collaborative workflows for video editors and digital content creators, especially suitable for small workgroups.
The T - Share Expansion feature further enhances its capabilities. Equipped with 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can expand it to 8 ports by pairing two A12T3-Share devices. This enables you to reach nearly 1 Petabyte (960TB) of storage capacity by connecting extra JBOD systems.
Technical specifications include a 12 - bay tower RAID system with Thunderbolt 3 * 4, PCIe 3.0 * 1 interfaces. It has high data transfer rates, supports various disk interfaces and types, multiple RAID levels, and comes with advanced RAID controller functions. Management is easy with a Java - based RADIGuard X GUI, event log saving, email notifications, and LED indicators. It has a 400W power supply (single or redundant) and two 12cm x 12 cm fans with smart control. Physically, it measures L: 369mm, W: 175mm, H: 394.6mm and weighs 15.2 kg.
Using the Accusys A12T3-Share is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your Thunderbolt 3 - enabled devices. You can configure it as a SAN storage pool if you have the right SAN software. Just follow the software's prompts to set up the storage pool. Or, if you prefer, you can partition the storage array into different volumes. This is useful when you want to organize your data in a more structured way.
When sharing content, simply connect up to 4 Thunderbolt clients to the A12T3-Share. They can then start sharing files at high - speed. You can also take advantage of the T - Share Expansion feature. If you have two A12T3-Share devices, pair them to expand the Thunderbolt 3 ports from 4 to 8 and connect extra JBOD systems for more storage.
Here are some important notes. Make sure your devices support Thunderbolt 3 before connecting. Also, when using the power supply, ensure it's within the 110V - 240V range. For maintenance, keep an eye on the LED indicators on the front of the device. They show the status of the RAID and disk drives. If there are any issues, check the event log saved as a text file for quick troubleshooting. You can also set up email notifications to stay informed about any important events. Regularly check the fans to ensure they are working properly, as they help keep the device cool.
