The EP-4429S/D-F4A3 RAID subsystem features 4Gb F/C host performance to increase system efficiency and performance. It features high capacity expansion, with 42 hot-swappable SATA II hard disk drive bays in a 19-inch 4U rackmount unit, scaling to a maximum storage capacity in the terabyte range.

EPICa’s enclosure is designed for maximum expandability and flexibility. EPICa uses only common modules. For any system to be able to meet the needs of future requirements, expandability is essential. Epica was designed for future expandability.

With EPICa, the power supply and fan units are enclosed within the same module. Combined with a larger module volume and a larger fan unit, a more powerful power supply can be used because of better airflow. Airflow Redirector to eliminate pockets of dead air to prevent overheating of the subsystem.

EPICa incorporates a cableless design which means less connectors are used. Less connectors result in better signal stability. In addition, EPICa uses hi-quality connectors for maximum signal integrity.

Every system needs an environmental control system to regulate the internal environment of the subsystem. EPICa 's SES is the mainstay of environment control. With SES you have a proven standard protocol for environmental control.
