STSFC4-X RAID V Fibre Channel Storage System: High-Performance SAN Solutions
The Seagra STSFC4-X RAID V Fibre Channel Array is a professional-grade storage sub-system designed for high-availability environments and data-intensive applications. Supporting 4/8/16Gb/s Fibre Channel connectivity, this series bridges the gap between high-speed performance and cost-effective near-line storage.
Key Features
Must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter
Enterprise-Grade Reliability
Features 5 to 15 SATA drive bays utilizing Enterprise Edition drives with a 1.2M hour MTBF.
Satisfaction Rate
Features 5 to 15 SATA drive bays utilizing Enterprise Edition drives with a 1.2M hour MTBF.
Seagra Proprietary IP
Includes RAIDGuard and advanced HotSwap technology that allows drive replacement.
Ease of Use
Features a physical rotary switch for rapid RAID level configuration and 512/2048 sector size options.
OS Agnostic
Complete hardware RAID independence; supports Windows, Linux, macOS, and more.
High-Capacity Desktop Form Factor
Scalable from 2.5TB to 40TB in a compact enclosure—storing over 8 hours of uncompressed 10-bit HD video.
Performance
The STSFC4-X is optimized for sustained throughput, ensuring your infrastructure requires fewer arrays to meet demand.
Ultra-Fast Throughput
Achieves up to 400MB/s on 4Gb FC, with RAID V (3/5) configurations maintaining a steady 380MB/s.
Efficiency
High sustained performance allows for hardware consolidation (e.g., achieving with 3 arrays what typically requires 4).
Workflow Optimized
Specifically designed to support real-time SD and HD applications, including single 10-bit 1080i HD streams.
Connectivity & SAN Integration
This SAN Fibre Channel storage system offers flexible topology support to fit any enterprise architecture.
Interface Support
4/8/16Gb Optical or Copper interface via LC-style pluggable SFP (multimode 850nM).
Topology Support
Compatible with Point-to-Point, Arbitrated Loop, and Switched Fabric (N_port, NL_port, FL_port, F_port).
Auto-Negotiation
Automatic speed sensing for 4, 8, and 16Gb/s links.
Standards Compliance
Fully supports ANSI FC standards (FC-PH, FC-AL2, FC-FCP, FC-PLDA, FC-FLA).
Reliability & Data Integrity
Built for 24/7 mission-critical use, the STSFC4-X focuses on “background” protection that never interrupts your foreground tasks.
RAIDWatch & RAIDGuard
Continuous, silent background monitoring and proprietary drive protection to minimize downtime.
Redundancy Parity
Non-redundant mode maintains the exact same performance levels as redundant mode, even during a drive failure or shutdown.
Zero-Impact Rebuilds
Automatic background drive rebuilding occurs in real-time without impacting active I/O performance.
T10 DIF Support
Ensures end-to-end data integrity across the entire storage path.
