Supporting these features requires storage virtualization. To handle this task, Adaptec offers a feature called Instant Capacity Expansion. ICE is a powerful provisioning tool at the core of the Guardian OS that lets you add new disks to storage arrays and expand volumes without moving data or tearing apart existing arrays. This greatly simplifies the addition of disks for both file and block purposes. The 1U Snap Server 520's storage capacity can be expanded to 25 TB by adding up to four 12-drive SANBlock S50 JBOD disk enclosures. This SAS/SATA, 2U rack enclosure incorporates an external SAS interconnect that supports transfer rates of up to 2,400 MBps in full-duplex mode.
