MediaVault U320-RX 2500GB
|
The rack mountable MediaVault U320-RX features a dual channel Ultra 320 interface capable of sustaining over 200 MB/sec - per channel - in HDT mode (click here for HDT definition). That's more than enough to support 10-bit HD capture and playback. (click here to check out the amazing Benchmarks) The redesigned, industrial looking chassis supports 10 removable drives. The ultimate in high speed video storage, the MediaVault U320-RX is available in capacities from 1.6 TB up to 4 TB. Multiple fans and two removable 300 watt power supplies provide cooling and serious power to spare.
The MediaVault U320-RX is populated with 10 removable disk drives and can be configured for RAID 0 (performance) or RAID 3 (protected) operation. In RAID 0 mode all drives are used for storage and maximum performance. When in RAID 3 mode, one drive per channel is used for "parity" information, so performance and capacities are diminished about 20%. In RAID 3 mode if a drive fails your footage will still be there - and you can continue working with no degradation in performance. Simply replace the failed drive when convenient and the unit will reconstruct the parity data.
The MediaVault U320-RX is true Plug-and-Play. The next-generation on-board programmable RAID controllers takes care of formatting, striping and all RAID functions - while appearing as two single HUGE disk drives to the operating system. The controller also provides built in diagnostics to monitor drive performance and health.
