Disk Expansion Chassis / JBOD

  • QuantaStor supports SAS/SATA & NVME external Expansion Shelves / JBOD devices from Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo and SuperMicro.
  • All JBOD must have two or more SAS expansion ports per module to allow for SAS multipathing. For chaining of expansion shelves three or more SAS ports are required per expander.
Vendor JBOD Model
Cisco All Models
IBM/Lenovo All Models
Dell All Models
HGST Data60 / Data102 / 4U60-G2 / 2U24 SSD Models
Seagate 4U106 / 5U84 / 2U24 SSD Models
HPE All Models
SuperMicro All Models (HA requires dual expander [E26, E2C])

SAS HBAs & SAS/SATA RAID Controllers

Vendor Model Type Integrated Management
