FAQ

How many JBOD units can be daisy-chained to a single server?
Nfina units are typically designed for incremental expansion; for example, up to six JBODs can often be integrated into a single network for massive capacity growth. 

What is the maximum storage capacity per rack unit?
Current models like the 602JBOD-B offer up to 288TB in a 2U form factor, while the 4U models can reach 576TB. 

Does the enclosure support mixed drive types (SSD and HDD)?
Yes, Nfina JBODs support both 3.5″ and 2.5″ drive bays, allowing for high-speed SSDs or high-capacity HDDs depending on the application. 

Are dual SAS expanders available for failover?
High-availability models, such as the 602JBOD-B, feature dual SAS expanders to provide multi-pathing and prevent single points of failure. 

How is the health of the individual drives monitored?
Units come with an IPMI port for remote monitoring, allowing IT teams to track temperature, fan speeds, and power management. 

Is the hardware certified for our virtualization environment?
Nfina solutions are certified for major platforms, including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox, and Red Hat. 

What is included in the standard warranty?
Nfina offers an industry-leading 5-year warranty that includes 24/7 US-based technical support from certified engineers, not tiered call centers. 

Are there any hidden software licensing fees for expansion?
Nfina emphasizes a “no bloatware” policy and typically avoids the recurring software costs associated with some competitors. 

What is the typical lead time for custom-configured units?
Nfina maintains an inventory of components to avoid the delivery delays common with larger vendors, often allowing for faster custom builds shipped in 3 to 5 days if components are in stock.
