Built for Capacity
Massive Capacity
Scale to 252 drives across expansion shelves for up to 5 PB of raw capacity. The R50 is built for workloads where storage density and cost-per-terabyte are the primary considerations.
High Throughput
With 10 GB/s throughput and 100 GbE networking, the R50 delivers the bandwidth needed for large sequential workloads like backup ingest, media streaming, and data archive.
Flexible Deployment
Deploy as a primary storage system, backup target, replication destination, or archive tier. The R50 fits multiple roles in a tiered storage architecture.
Enterprise Data Protection
OpenZFS provides built-in checksumming, snapshots, replication, and self-healing to protect data integrity. Combined with encryption, the R50 protects data at rest and in transit.
