Ultimate Density, Highest Performance Storage
The Nexsan E60™ is Nexsan's next generation of high-density and energy-efficient RAID storage, upping the ante over previous generations by delivering a storage solution that accommodates 60 disks. As such, the E60 is significantly faster than our BEAST family of products. It provides 120TBs in only 4U and, thanks to Nexsan's AutoMAID® technology, reduces energy costs by up to 87% - making it the most energy-efficient enterprise-class storage system on the market.
The E60 contains four 8Gbit Fibre Channel ports, with the ability in the future to add a second IO card, and two 1Gbit iSCSI ports to deliver more bandwidth and connectivity. The E60 seamlessly combines SATA, SAS, and SSD drives to give IT administrators a high degree of flexibility, and its innovative active drawer technology allows the E60 to be safely serviced by one person while remaining in full production - a significant improvement over competitive systems that typically require several people to replace a single disk or fan.
As with all Nexsan solutions, the E60 is built for enterprise-class applications, providing tier-1 full redundancy and high performance at tier- 2 prices. It's very easy to install and use. And the E60 includes Highly Efficient Storage (HES) technologies that provide a combination of cost-effective high density, space efficiency and Nexsan's AutoMAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) energy-saving technology, which enables the E60 to save up to 87% in energy costs.

Nexsan E60 Advanced Features
Up to 60 Disks
Unsurpassed storage density and capacity in 4U.
Mix SAS, SATA, and SSD drives
Optimize storage for cost, capacity, and performance to meet the needs of varying applications.
Active Drawer Technology
Allows one person to easily gain access to hot-swappable disks and fans, in any of the three sliding drawers, which remain operational when opened. High Availability
Can be configured so there is no single-point-of-failure between the servers and storage system, or within the storage system. All power, fans, disks and I/O ports are fully redundant. Active / Active
Both controllers service storage requests, delivering twice the performance of the active/passive architecture offered by others. Energy Savings
AutoMAID® is the storage industry's most sophisticated power management system. Infrequently accessed data allows drives to be powered down when not in use while offering near instantaneous access to data when needed. AutoMAID saves up to 87% on power and cooling costs. Anti-Vibration Design
Hard drives are mounted so that all disks are not spinning in the same direction. In addition, the anti-vibration design of the chassis provides unprecedented hard drive MTBFs. Cool Drive Technology
The high density chassis is specially designed for uniform airflow that ensures optimal thermal operation. The hot-swappable fans in the front and rear of the active drawers allow proper push/pull airflow.
