Whether you are using SATA, SAS, or fast 32GBps NVMe drives, there are many advantages to using the fast and reliable Mini-SAS HD connection interface for high-speed and high-density data storage applications. Previous standards, SATA, supported a maximum of only 6 Gbps, about 1/5th the bandwidth needed to drive modern NVMe SSDs. Mini-SAS HD was created as the next-generation standard, using its 32GBps connection speed to open up support for 32Gbps NVMe drives and high drive density storage applications.

ICY DOCK realized what the higher data transfer speeds of Mini-SAS HD could mean, and created solutions for anyone requiring ultra-fast PCI-E NVMe storage, as well as for those needing to connect large numbers of SATA/SAS hard drives (HDD) or solid state drives (SSD) with minimal cable clutter. Because Mini-SAS HD's bandwidth is several times higher than SATA or SAS, Mini-SAS HD is able to support the full speed of up to four SATA or SAS drives over a single Mini-SAS HD cable, reducing the clutter from cables by 75%. With this concept in mind, ICY DOCK created a series of enterprise ruggedized drive enclosures that are specifically designed for high-performance computing (HPC) and can be deployed in the most demanding of environments such as server rooms and real-time computing environments.
