The E60 contains four 8Gbit Fibre Channel ports, with the ability in the future to add a second IO card, and two 1Gbit iSCSI ports to deliver more bandwidth and connectivity. The E60 seamlessly combines SATA, SAS, and SSD drives to give IT administrators a high degree of flexibility, and its innovative active drawer technology allows the E60 to be safely serviced by one person while remaining in full production - a significant improvement over competitive systems that typically require several people to replace a single disk or fan.

As with all Nexsan solutions, the E60 is built for enterprise-class applications,
providing tier-1 full redundancy and high performance at tier- 2 prices. It's very
easy to install and use. And the E60 includes technologies
that provide a combination of cost-effective high density, space efficiency and
Nexsan's AutoMAID® (Massive Array of Idle Disks) level 4 energy-saving technology, which enables the E60 to save up to 85% in energy costs.
