Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise-class drives designed for high volume,
24x7 usage. Serial-ATA (SATA) are usually reserved for archival of data as
they are both relatively inexpensive and are available in very large capacities.
The MSA2000 family of arrays can accommodate both SAS and SATA drives
within the same enclosure making it ideal to have both business-critical, high
activity files on SAS drives while using snapshot or clone capability to keep
back-up data on the less expensive drives. SAS drive performance can be
approximately 30%greater than SATA performance on sequential host IO.
SAS performance excels in sequential lower latency response time and
random IO per second transaction performance due to higher rpm disk
speeds yielding lower seek times.

In addition to the usual RAID levels, the MSA2000 family features several
important additional levels. RAID 6 is the highest level of RAID protection. It
allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write
operations. It can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime
or data loss. RAID 10 is mirroring and striping without parity. It is the most
popular of the multiple RAID levels, allowing large arrays with high
performance in most cases and superior fault tolerance. RAID 50 combines
