SATABoy.

SATABoy provides organizations with unparalleled storage flexibility to meet real world business objectives. The highly scalable SATABoy enables cost-effective storage of large amounts of information online, such as fixed content, reference data, disaster recovery and disk-to-disk backup, while its exceptional performance ensures faster response times for mission critical applications. SATABoy is equally capable of delivering high IOPS for transactional applications and sustaining maximum MB/s throughput for high bandwidth applications such as streaming media. SATABoy also offers the energy saving benefits of Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID™ technology. AutoMAID™ (Massive Array of Idle Disks) allows SATABoy to place its disk drives to an idle state to conserve energy yet provide near-instantaneous access to data. This powerful combination of high performance with energy saving capabilities enables users to maximize the return on their storage hardware investment.
