## Long description

NETAPP DS224C-RFB — 24 SFF bays, SAS/SATA 12G is a storage expansion enclosure designed to add drive capacity to compatible NetApp systems. The DS224C-RFB supports 24 small form factor (SFF) drives and accepts SAS and SATA drives at 12G, enabling increased on-premises capacity for backup, archival, or performance tiering. The rack-ready chassis provides straightforward integration with existing storage arrays and simplifies physical expansion without modifying the host controller.
Advantages
