The array connects via eSATA, USB 2.0, FireWire-800, or FireWire-400. It is an excellent solution for the large storage needs and intense performance requirements associated with video editing applications.
Key Features
RAID Performance for HD Video
The array comes configured as a RAID 0 array for maximum performance. The RAID can achieve sustained data transfer speeds of up to 220 MB/sec, allowing it to play back multiple streams of uncompressed 10-bit NTSC video.
Quad Interface
You'll be able to connect the array to a computer via eSATA, FireWire-800, FireWire-400, or USB 2.0. Cables are included for each connection type, allowing you to get things up and running right out of the box.
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. It is compatible with editing hardware and software from most major developers.
