5742E/5744E Rack-Mount
The 5742E and 5744E are part of the Hitachi Freedom 5700E offerings. Designed to mount in an industry-standard 19-inch rack, these units individually attach to the host or to other 5700E systems. The 5742E holds up to ten active disk drives; the 5744E holds up to twenty. Both models support an optional hot standby drive and two controllers, each with as much as 256MB of cache (for a total of 512MB). All components are hot-pluggable. Fully redundant power is standard on the 5744E and optional on the 5742E. The 5744E also provides optional dual input power. These rack-mount models are ideal for Web sites and for department or workgroup environments.
