The AX series is considered the entry-level disk array.

Currently,{{When|date=February 2011}} two models are available the AX4 and the AX150.
The AX150 supports up to 12 [[Serial ATA]] disks with either 250, 500 or 750 [[Gigabyte|GB]] (1 GB = 10<sup>9</sup> [[byte|B]]) at a throughput of 150 (250&nbsp;GB disks) or 300&nbsp;MB/s (500, 750&nbsp;GB disks) and, optionally, [[Native Command Queuing|NCQ]]. Supported [[RAID]] levels are RAID 5 (with min. 3 disks) and RAID 1/0 (min. 4 disks). The Fibre Channel connection supports transfer speeds of up to 2&nbsp;Gbit/s (with both [[Arbitrated loop|AL]] and [[Switched fabric|SW]] configurations), iSCSI is physically limited to max. 1&nbsp;Gbit/s. The AX150 is available in four configurations which differ in connection and number of controllers.

The AX4 is the successor of the AX150 and can support up to 60 [[Serial ATA]] or [[Serial Attached SCSI]] disks (with "Expansion Pack"). The base version has only place for 12 disks. Similar to the AX150 it is available in iSCSI or Fibre Channel configurations. Opposed to the AX150 the AX4 supports Fibre Channel transfer speeds of up to 4&nbsp;Gbit/s.
