AutoMAID ENERGY SAVING TECHNOLOGY
Nexsan's revolutionary AutoMAID energy saving technology transparently places SATABeast, SATABoy and SATABlade disk drives into an idle state, vastly reducing power consumption and operational costs.

AutoMAID delivers these benefits without the limitations of slow access times and special host software. AutoMAID is granular to an individual drive or RAID set and offers multiple levels of energy savings, enabling users to determine the right level of access speed and energy savings for their environment. AutoMAID is the first MAID architecture that supports VTL (Virtual Tape Libraries), full file format D2D and standard high performance RAID implementations.

By integrating Nexsan's AutoMAID technology into their high performance, multipurpose SATA storage arrays, users now have the flexibility to support multiple applications within the same storage subsystem. AutoMAID can be applied selectively by drive units and can be disabled for volumes requiring the very best response time.
