Key Features

RAID Performance for HD Video

The array comes configured as a RAID 5 array for high performance and data protection. The RAID can achieve sustained data transfer speeds of up to 160 MB/sec, allowing it to play back multiple streams of uncompressed 10-bit NTSC video.

PCI Express RAID Controller

The included PCI Express RAID controller features an Intel IOP 348 RAID processor. The card features 256 MB of ECC-RAM for superlative performance. It supports DVRAID, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 4, RAID 5, RAID 10, JBOD groups, and hot spares for flexible configuration.

Enterprise-Class Hard Disks

Sonnet uses only Enterprise/RAID edition hard drives in this array. These drives undergo stringent testing for durability. The disks are tested for soft errors, vibration, and reliability prediction. They have a higher MTBF than standard disks for enhanced reliability.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

The array is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. An available PCI Express x8 or x4 slot is required for installation of the RAID controller card.

Expansion Option

Sonnet offers an innovative storage upgrade option for this array. The Fusion D400RAID Expansion system, sold separately, is another four-disk chassis of drives. Adding the expansion system to your array not only doubles storage capacity, it also gives you the increased performance of an 8-disk system.
