iStoragePro is a leading manufacturer of Enterprise level storage enclosures and PCIe Expanders. These all aluminum enclosures provide a refined look to any studio or workspace and offer excellent performance and reliability at a great price. Available in many connection types, you're sure to find a large or small scale storage system to suit your needs.
SAS Expander capability can be extremely useful with it’s inherent ability to allow the growth of your storage system over time. One complaint we often hear is that an installed RAID Controller is only useful for a handful of drives for a single PCI Expansion Slot. That problem has been solved with the introduction of SAS Expander Technology.
Our iStoragePro enclosures are priced with economical desktop drives. If you prefer to have Enterprise Class SATA, SAS or SSD drives installed please contact us for pricing and availability. We list prices for each enclosure type with 1,2 and 3TB drives as well as the empty enclosure without drives.
Enclosures purchased with drives installed will get formatted into a RAID and an extensive burn in procedure will be performed for 24-48 hours. Once all testing is complete we’ll create the RAID type of your choice on a computer and Operating System similar to yours so it’s configured and ready to go when you get it. This ensures that when you install the enclosure on your machine everything is well tested and ready to go. It’s a service well worth the expense.
NOTE: RECENT FLOODING IN THAILAND HAS CAUSED A SHORTAGE OF HARD DRIVES IN THE CURRENT MARKET. PLEASE CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY ON ANY ENCLOSURE WITH DRIVES. THE CURRENT ENCLOSURE PRICES SHOWN MAY NOT BE VALID. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR THE MOST CURRENT PRICE.
 iStoragePro is currently transitioning their expander product line to the new SAS 6G and SATAIII 6Gb⁄s specification. The new expanders allow higher performance when used with SSD and high RPM SAS drives. The 6G SAS Expanders work very well with the ATTO R680 and Areca ARC-1880x SAS Controllers.
There are some known incompatibility issues when using older 3G SAS Controllers with SATAIII or SAS 6G drives and 6G expanders. If you are implimenting a new system we strongly urge you to go with the 6G SAS components and SATAIII or SAS 6G drives. If you already own a 3G system and wish to add 3G components please contact us.
