HD SATAsfaction!
Today’s digital content creation and editing require more speed and space than anybody would have imagined just a few, short years ago—now, storage needs are spoken of in terabytes instead of gigabytes. FireWire drives used to be the storage solution of choice for users on a limited budget, but they don’t offer enough performance for all but the most basic needs, and high-end SCSI storage systems are out of reach for most people. You probably need something in between—Sonnet’s Fusion D500P SATA storage systems offer speed, versatility, and reliability in a compact package—they are a great solution for anyone looking for an affordable storage system that will fit into a variety of workflows.
Maximum Performance
Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or X4P PCI-X adapter installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D500P system’s drives can be accessed through its port multiplier (1) at full speed, whether configured as RAID 0, 1, 10, or JBOD. A single Fusion D500P configured as a RAID 0 striped set achieves 225MB/sec, fast enough to support multiple streams of DV, HDV, DVCPRO, or uncompressed 8-bit 1080 HD video. Up to four Fusion D500Ps can be ganged on a single Tempo SATA E4P or X4P adapter for double, triple, or even quadruple the available streams.
