INDUSTRY USAGE
POSITIONING
The ThinkServer SA120 is a dense, rack-mountable direct-attached storage (DAS) enclosure that’s ideal for datacenter
deployments, distributed enterprises or small businesses. Featuring both 2.5" and 3.5" drive bays in a single 2U enclosure, the
ThinkServer SA120 is ideally suited for workloads that demand high performance and maximum capacity. The scalable design
addresses a range of workloads including data backup, file/print, collaboration applications, video streaming, and caching.
A single ThinkServer SA120 DAS enclosure can be configured to support twelve 3.5" SAS high-capacity, front-panel drives and
four optional rear-panel 2.5" SSD drives. Servicing the SA120 is easy and convenient with tool-less, hot-swap components and
shared parts from ThinkServer rack servers. For customers who require versatile expansion, high redundancy and eciency,
the SA120 is an impressive value at just a fraction of the cost and complexity of typical storage area network solutions.
