Seagate Exos E 4U106 2120 TB SAS JBOD Enclosure 4U 3.5"

The Seagate Exos E 4U106 is a high-density enclosure designed for enterprise storage infrastructures. It houses up to 106 hard drives, providing a maximum total capacity of 2,120 TB. The unit is primarily used for large-scale backup arrays, bulk archiving, and centralized data storage, allowing data centres to scale capacity within a compact footprint.

As a direct-attached passthrough system, the enclosure delegates all volume management to the host server. Each disk is presented individually to the host without internal RAID grouping. Consequently, data protection and redundancy are handled by an external controller or the host’s software. This architecture simplifies the unit to focus on housing and powering the drives, giving IT administrators full control over how the storage is partitioned and used.

• Rack placement: Occupies 4U of rack space for standard data centre integration.
• Host connection: Uses a SAS interface for high-throughput data transmission to the managing controller.
• Drive compatibility: Designed for 3.5-inch hard disk drives.
• System architecture: A JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) unit, not a standalone storage appliance.
• External deployment: An independent rack-mounted chassis, not an internal server component.
