The ATAboy2x ensures dependable hot swapping of high capacity drives with the flexibility to support even higher capacities with Nexsan's proprietary ATAengine™ with soft reconfigurable FPGAs. This advanced architecture allows single or multiple drives to be designated as hot spares and also allows field updates of the ATA interface design and remote firmware updates, which are supported using FTP.

Cost-Correct Enterprise-Class Reliability
