The VS-SBOD 3U, 16-disk, with as much as 6.4 terabytes uses a switched topology backplane and redundant quad 4-gigabit fibre-channel initiators to the drives. The VS-FY5x 2U, 12-disk drive, with as much as 9 terabytes of RAID storage uses FC to SAS/SATA single- or dual-RAID controllers, and has an optional 2U expansion chassis that doubles the storage with as much as 18 terabytes.
