NS780S-G3 Desktop Enclosure for 16x SAS/SATA HDD
The Netstor NS780S-G3 is a high-capacity, 16-bay desktop JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) enclosure designed for high-performance workflows in video editing, color grading, and post-production. It connects to a host computer via an ultra-fast external PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, delivering up to 64Gbps of bandwidth to handle demanding tasks like 8K video production. The enclosure features sixteen hot-swappable drive bays that accommodate both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, allowing for massive storage expansion. To achieve data redundancy and performance scaling, users must install their own 16-port SAS/SATA RAID controller or Host Bus Adapter (HBA). The NS780S-G3 is built with an aluminum housing and a robust cooling system featuring four quiet 120mm fans to ensure optimal operating temperatures. It is OS-independent, supporting Windows, Linux, and macOS systems, making it an ideal expansion solution for workstations like the Mac Pro 2019. The package includes the required PCIe host adapter, external cable, and internal miniSAS cables for setup.
