Stardom SOHORAID Four Bay RAID Enclosure

The SOHORAID SR4-WBS3 is a four drive storage system with JBOD / RAID 5 / RAID 0 storage option for storing contents in large scales. Industrially designed with aluminum exterior that's built tough and durable for hard drive protection of the highest grade.

The SR4-WBS3 is an all in one hardware RAID solution that embeds the JMB394 RAID controller chipset that require no extra parts. It's cost effective because no separate RAID controller is required with everything built into the system.

For field editing applications, the SR4-WBS3 can be made portable as it comes equipped with a grip handle that you can choose to install yourself, making creative contents mobile convenient and less bulky.

With high-speed 3G e-SATA, FireWire 800 and USB 3.0 triple connectivity, the SR4-WBS3 can be used in both Mac & PC environments providing great convenience and flexibility.

SR4-WBS3 provides two storage options of RAID 5 or RAID 0. With RAID 5, a user will have the maximum protection of his/her data with allowance for a single drive failure but yet all data will be kept intact. In the RAID 0 mode, a user will have the benefit of a single massive volume for storage with high I/O speed, with sets of data being striped across the four enclosed drives.

If drive replacement becomes necessary, the SR4-WBS3 is modular designed for effortless removal and install of drives. It's also protected by a locking mechanism to secure the drive into place.

The original purpose of the USB (Universal Serial Bus) is most commonly used for computer to communicate with other computer peripherals and electronic devices. But this is now vastly changing with the newest breakthrough USB 3.0 that's ten times faster then the USB 2.0 and six times faster than FireWire 800. With this incredible performance, creative professionals can now be able to handle much more with greater speed and shorter waiting time. USB 3.0 supports plug & play and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 & 2.0.

SR4-WBS3 holds any capacity of SATA hard drives up to 8TB per drive bay. With all drive bays installing 8TB drives, in RAID 0 mode, the system will give you a total of 32TB in volume for storage, and under the RAID 5 mode, a total of 24TB in volume for storage with a single drive used for redundancy. Equipped with clear readable LCD display and LED indicators for system monitoring during operation so users can easily grasp the status of the system at all times. Moreover, it comes with visual and audio alarms whenever failure occurs. SR4-WBS3 is equipped with an 8cm fan located at the rear and comes with the SMART fan functionality where the fan spins at half speed when reaching above 30ºC and full speed when reaching 40º. With this clever design, you can work quietly without bother by fan noises unless the hard drives become vulnerable due to high temperature.
