D-Link's 5-Bay iSCSI SAN Enclosure with 4 Gigabit ports provides an entry-level, value-oriented solution for SMB customers. In a small chassis that can fit anywhere, it fully integrates with the same Ethernet infrastructure as the data network, saving considerable cost compared with the Fiber Channel technology traditionally used for Storage Area Networks. The DSN-1100 features five hot swappable Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive bays supporting 5 TB raw capacity using 1 TB hard drives (and even higher capacity hard drives as they are introduced) in RAID level 0, 1, 1+0 and 5 configurations.

Built on a powerful System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design usually found in larger arrays, it can handle over 80,000 I/Os per second. This single-chip solution eliminates interoperability, timing, and support issues found in competitive products that offer "discrete implementation" wherein all the various components are chosen separately and then assembled. The DSN-1100 outperforms these discrete implementations at a lower price point.

The DSN-1100 implements four Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be grouped together for up to 425MB/s bandwidth, increasing throughput and redundancy. Other features include volatile cache data protection via an on-board battery designed to back up up to 1GB of cached memory for at least 72 hours, support for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and jumbo frames, volume virtualization with storage Extents. The embedded, user-friendly IP-SAN Device Manager (IDM) provides comprehensive network storage management.
