The ARC-4038 8-Bay 12Gb/s SAS Tower JBOD Enclosure from Areca offers a compact external storage chassis capable of accommodating up to 8 12Gb/s, Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) drives or 6Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA) drives. The box can support both 2.5" and 3.5" disk drives, each one contained in its individual hole on the disk carrier. This compact tower supports four 12Gb/s SFF-8644 and one 6Gb/s SFF-8088 SAS host and expansion connections. Out-of-band CLI can re-define manufacture default setting on those connections. Configuration and environmental information is accessible either via in-band (SES-3.0 over SMP) or out-of-band serial port.

The ARC-4038 includes 8 internal plus 20 external 12Gb/s SAS ports connection for host and easy expansion. It features SAS and LSI DataBolt bandwidth optimizer technology. This enclosure is compatible with 12Gb/s SAS-enabled systems as well as 6Gb/s drives and backplanes. Using DataBolt, the ARC-4038 buffers 6Gb/s data and then transfers it out to the host at 12Gb/s speeds in order to match the bandwidth between faster hosts and slower SAS or SATA devices. The ARC-4038 contains an embedded expander manager that can access via in-band SES-3.0 over SMP protocol and out-of band RS-232 port.
