Performance and Data Security
Considering a multi-drive storage system? If so, you already know about the benefits of striping data across multiple drives you'll gain the faster performance necessary for working with HD video formats when you connect the system to an eSATA host controller. Sonnet's Fusion D400QR5 desktop and Fusion R400QR5 rackmount SATA storage systems deliver speed, reliability, and versatility in easy to deploy packages. Fusion D400QR5 and R400QR5 systems offer security, too each one features a high performance internal RAID controller that manages the enclosed drives and supports RAID 5 drive formatting, which provides data protection in case one of the drives fails. Available in configurations from 2 to 6TB, these Sonnet storage systems incorporate an informative display and status LEDs, and simple to use controls that enable you to easily configure the drives or select information to be displayed.
High Performance with Data Protection
Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or X4P PCI-X host controller installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D400QR5 or R400QR5 system's drives can be accessed at maximum speed(2), whether configured as a RAID 0 or RAID 5 set. With its drives configured as a RAID 5 group (four 1TB drives striped with parity across all group members), a single Fusion D400QR5 or R400QR5 system achieves data throughput of 225 MB/sec read and 177 MB/sec write, fast enough to support multiple streams of DV, HDV, DVCPRO, ProRes 422, or a single stream of uncompressed 10-bit NTSC video. Do you want even more performance? Up to four Fusion D400QR5 or R400QR5 systems can be ganged on a single Tempo SATA E4P or X4P controller for enhanced data throughput and double, triple, or even quadruple the available streams (as well as increasing the number of supported video formats).
One Cable, All the Data
Fusion D400QR5 and R400QR5 storage systems feature a quad interface that requires just a single locking data cable to connect the enclosure to a SATA host controller card. This efficient interface simplifies setup and cuts cable clutter without compromising performance. No SATA? No problem connected via a single FireWire 800, FireWire 400, or USB cable, all four drives can be accessed at the full speed of the respective interface. Sonnet even includes all the cables so you can connect your Fusion storage system right out of the box.
Information on Display
Fusion 400QR5 storage systems feature integrated controls and an informative display (rear-mounted on the R400QR5), making setup and monitoring simple. RAID mode, drive health (S.M.A.R.T., or Self Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), drive temperature, and operating status can be displayed with a couple of button presses. Status LED indicators enable you to determine drive presence, activity, and fault status at a glance.
Quiet Either Way
To keep things cool, the Fusion D400QR5 uses a swappable fan module. The fan is 80% quieter than a standard case fan, making this system perfectly suited for use in noise-sensitive environments. The 1U rackmount Fusion R400QR5 system enclosure, at just 1.75" tall, is simple to deploy in most server racks, but can also be used on a desktop use of four low noise fans make it suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments, too.
Driving Force
Fusion D400QR5 and R400QR5 storage systems employ Enterprise/RAID Edition hard drives or select, Sonnet certified desktop drives that have been selected for their superior performance, error handling, and reliability characteristics, especially when used in RAID groups. These drives are subjected to hours of additional, stringent testing to check for soft errors, vibration, and other reliability predictors. Just the sturdiest drives pass these tests and are prepared with special RAID-optimized firmware to become the building blocks of a super-reliable Fusion storage system.
Versatile Performance
These systems are ideal for use in mixed environments various operating systems, editing applications and output demands requiring the flexibility and interoperability that Fusion D400QR5 and R400QR5 storage systems provide.
