32TB of RAIDs for sale
UPDATED 12/31/2011 - 16TB UNIT SOLD.
As many of you know we’ve recently upgraded our main SAN to a 48TB Small Tree ST RAID II thus freeing up some of our older units.
Obviously, these have been very well cared for in a Post Production machine room environment and have performed excellently for us in both RAID 0 and RAID 5 modes. Most recently we’ve run them all in RAID 5, we just don’t need them anymore so hopefully they can help you out.
We have three units available:
Maxx Digital Silver 8TB
Maxx Digital Black 8TB
Maxx Digital Rack Mountable 16TB - SOLD
Please note that these units will be sold “As Is” with no warranty implied. All support will have to come directly through the original manufacturer, Maxx Digital.
For purchase information on any of these units, please contact our Production Manager, Randy Lockey at 770-271-3427. Thanks!
UNIT 1 - MAXX DIGITAL SILVER 8TB
Features Eight - 1TB drives and gives you about 6.4 TB of usable storage in RAID 5 mode. Top speed is around 500MB/sec. We used this in direct attach mode to an ATTO R380 SAS card inside a Mac Pro. I believe this was called the EVO when it came out.
The unit will include the Power Cord and two SAS cables. Note that the connections on the unit itself are the old style screw in connectors, but the other end is the standard SAS slide in connectors. This unit was used primarily in the production of our weekly series, “Assignment Earth.”
Price: $1500 + Shipping. Shipping costs will depend on distance and type of delivery method.
Payment: Checks and Credit Cards accepted. A 4% Service Charge will be added for credit card payment.

The unit will include the Power Cord and two SAS cables. Note that the connections on the unit itself are the old style screw in connectors, but the other end is the standard SAS slide in connectors.

Features Sixteen - 1TB drives and gives you about 12 to 13 TB of usable storage in RAID 5 mode. Top speed is around 550 - 600MB/sec. We used this as part of our original SAN. In our configuration, this unit was direct attached to our main SAN computer with a second 16TB RAID daisy chained to this unit. You can see there are three SAS ports on the rear allowing for the daisy chain operation.
