  Model Description  
  F200C is the latest FC-SAS RAID controller built around Qsan innovative RAID/FC stack, featuring industry-leading performance on IOP platform ever since the previous generation. With 2 4Gb FC ports connected to the host, either working independently, or MPIO together, Qsan lab data shows up to 70,000 IOPS. F200C can achieve up to 800MB/sec. The outstanding performance is produced by not only the highly-optimized Qsan stack but also strong computing power offered by Intel IOP341. At drive-side F200C supports SAS drives, thus SATA compatible. Not only it supports up to 16 drives in single enclosure, there is a SAS JBOD expansion port, connectible to 4 SAS JBODs up to 80 drives with 128TB size limit. F200C is also built in with VSS and VDS ready. It requires customized backplanes for customers interested in design-in to existing chassis.
