The controller is a high-performance controller designed to be rack-mounted in standard 19" racks. Each controller is 3.5" in height, requiring 2U of rack space. The system uses 10 independent SAS drive channels to manage data distribution and storage for up to 120 disk drives per channel (which can be limited by drive enclosure type).
