• Built-In SMB / Samba server for file sharing over LAN
• Built-in FTP server for file access over the internet
• Great for setting up a private Cloud storage or quick drive sharing
  
  • Support full disk sharing of a drive with existing data in SMB and FTP
  • Support selecting existing folders¹ that are already on the drive for sharing in SMB and FTP
  • Full Disk or Folder sharing can be assigned to authorized users with different READ/WRITE privileges
• Built-in file formatting utility for XFS and EXT3
• Support 10/100/1000 Mbps network
• Maximum data transfer over Gigabit LAN:
  
  

  	RAID storage		USB storage
  	read	write	read	write
  XFS	up to 85 MB/sec	up to 45 MB/sec	up to 30 MB/sec	up to 30 MB/sec
  EXT3 or EXT4	up to 50 MB/sec	up to 35 MB/sec	up to 30 MB/sec	Up to 30 MB/sec
  NTFS	up to 16 MB/sec	up to 5 MB/sec	up to 16 MB/sec	up to 5 MB/sec
  FAT32	up to 18 MB/sec	up to 8 MB/sec	up to 18 MB/sec	up to 8 MB/sec

  
  
  
• Support XFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, NTFS or FAT32 file system
• Maximum partition size or drive volume capacity:
  • XFS - 16 TB
  • EXT3 - 16 TB
  • EXT4 - 16 TB
  • NTFS - 9 TB
  • FAT32 - 2TB
• USB port to support adding USB drives to the network up to total 15 drive volumes whencombinedwithUSBhub
• Support Up to 15 partitions per RAID volume or drive - giving a maximum 240 drive volumes on the network
• Drives with existing data can be attached via USB port (the folder name must be in large-cap to be sharable). See Q&A section on the folder and file security setting
• Maximum user accounts:
  • Samba server - 64,0000*
• Maximum # of concurrent connections:
  • Samba and FTP server combined - 32,000*
• Built-in MLDonkey client for direct download to the attached storage device
• Web GUI administration
• User management to allow read-only or read/write access to folders
• USB port can be used to power most 2.5" USB hard drives or any low power USB storage device

* These are the theoretical limits in the kernel. As # of concurrent connections increase, performance starts to decline depending on the drive access activity from the concurrent connections.

Encryption

• AES 256-bit encryption - the highest level of encryption standard
• FIPS 140-2 certified Crypto Module (MX+ crypto engine from Enova Technology)
• Full disk encryption. No traceable data when the encrypted drive is connected to any system
• No training required. Encryption/decryption via a hardware key, just like using a regular key to open a door
• Choice of standard Cipher key or HMAC key^† (Key-Hash Message Authentication Code)
  
  
• Two pairs of Cipher keys are included with each Secure NAS
• High performance - up to 550 MB/sec when  used as a direct attached storage via eSATA connection
• Optional RNG software suite for programming or duplicating the Cipher key
• OS independent - can be used on any system

Cipher Key programming software
For an organization with large deployment, you may consider managing your own keys by ordering the optional RNG software suite

^† HMAC key: The cipher code in the HMAC key is encrypted and stored in a protected secret area. The code cannot be copied or READ by any mean should the key is lost or stolen.  To program another HMAC key with the same cipher code, the original key file used in creating the cipher code is required.

• Connect to system via eSATA port (connecting cable included) or USB 3.1/3.0/2.0 port using the included eSATAp - USB 3.1 adapter.
• To configure the RAID of the drives attached to the Port Multiplier (PM) - To set the RAID configuration of each Port Multiplier inside the unit using the PM management software. Please note that when attached to an eSATA port that is not PM compatible or a USB port, only the drive attached to the Port 0 of the PM will be detected by the Disk Management. But under the PM management utility, all the drives attached to the PM are visible and can be configured to different RAID settings.
• Drives are connected to a Port Multiplier that can be configured as RAID0 (Striping), RAID1 (Mirroring), RAID 5 (Parity), RAID 5+S, Large Drive (Concatenation), Clone Mode (N-Way Mirror) or individual drive*
• RAID setting via PM management software or dip switches inside the chassis
• OS independent can be used on any system
• RAID diagnostic via LED light

*Individual drive setting is supported when the secure NAS is directly attached to a system with a PM compatible eSATA port. When attached to the network, only the drive connecting to be port 0 on the Port Multiplier is available to share over the LAN.
