iSCSI SAS
Supports for Virtual Disk Copy (full replicated copy) and Snapshots (point in time copy)
Maximum drive flexibility within a single array enables customers datatiering capability. No need to purchase a second shelf to mix drive types. Offering customers the ability to tier their data to match the speed and capacity of a variety of drives Self-encrypting drives help ensure your data is secure with drive-level encryption. to access it without the appropriate security authorization. Solid state drives (SSD) which have 3x the IOPs performance over 15K SAS drives and offer an ideal solution for applications that rely on random block access.

-SEDs encrypt everything written to the drive and de-crypt everything read
-SED is secured, if the drive is ever powered down or removed from the storage array, the SED becomes locked and the encryption key within that drive will not encrypt or decrypt data making the drive unreadable No performance impact because all encryption is handled by the drive

What is it?
Provides an incremental boost to performance by opening up additional PCI lanes on the system improving both throughput and I/O Ideal for sequential applications like web streaming or backup Turbo performance key removes firmware limitations

Backup
Once enabled, a drive cannot be returned to the capable state without destroying data
Changing the state resets the encryption key Once enabled, drives stay enabled through power cycles SED enabled drives can be locked or unlocked Locked drives are inaccessible until the lock key is provided Unlocked drives send and receive data as normal Enabled drives are locked at power-on
Unlocking Drives
Locked drives at power-on can be queried for the lock key ID Lock key ID stored on drive Lock key ID changed when lock key changed Lock key and ID stored in NVSRAM One key per storage array Shared across controllers
SSD benefits
Increased small-block I/O performance 2x the IOPs per watt, a third of the watts per drive and lower heat dissipation Faster start up (no spin up) and access to data (no rotational latency) Higher reliability with fewer moving parts Ideal for few writes and lots of reads applications
SSDs should be reserved for high-end applications where the cost can be justified
SAS delivers up to a 38% IOPs per watt improvement over SATA (Seagate datasheet)
Outperforms SATA
25% improvement in sequential reads 140% improvement in sequential writes 15% improvement in random reads
