Figure 1 - SteelVine Architecture
Populated with two external Serial ATA (eSATA) hard disk drives (HDDs), each SteelVine
Storage Reference Design Storage Appliance can manage as much as 2,000 gigabytes (i.e., 2
terabytes) of data, depending on the capacity of the hard disk drives that are installed. By
combining multiple SteelVine Storage Reference Designs in a daisy-chained hierarchy structure,
you can increase the total storage capacity of your system. For more information refer to
SteelVine Storage Policies on page 6 and Cascading on page 12.
