Dot Hill is a leader in Entry Level market with remote replication HDD Support • Low RPM (below 10,000) drives, often with a SATA drive interface ƒ Best value for cheap and deep solutions, $/GB is key purchase criteria ƒ LFF 3.5" HDDs satisfies this better than SFF 2.5“ HDDs

• High RPM (10,000 and above) drives, often with a SAS drive interface ƒ Best value for performance driven solutions, $/IOP is a key purchase criteria ƒ Two 10k 2.5” drives can outperform a single 3.5” drive spinning at 15k RPM

• Solid State Drives (SSD) ƒ SSD delivers the best performance, but at a premium price ƒ LFF 3.5" HDDs satisfies this better than SFF 2.5“ HDDs 39x0 Series Backplane
