The 2.5 TB Fusion D500P eSATA Array System from Sonnet is an eSATA storage system for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. The array features four hot-swappable drives, which can be configured as a RAID when using a compatible controller card. It supports multiple video stream playback and sustained transfer rates of 240 MB/sec when paired with a RAID 0 eSATA controller. It is an excellent solution for the large storage needs and intense performance requirements associated with video editing applications.
