The VideoRAID RTR320X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Hard Disk Array from Avid is a superb ATA to Ultra 320 SCSI storage solution for digital content creation applications including animation, special effects and nonlinear video editing.

The array features an impressive 1.25 TB of storage spread across 5 internal drives. Sustained data transfer rates of up to 200 MB/sec are possible, making this an ideal solution for any application where data access speed is critical.

The array's Multi-Stream Technology (MST) enables real-time playback of up to 8 streams of uncompressed SD and HD video. When combined with plug & play installation that doesn't need you to reconfigure your hardware or install complicated software, it is clear that the VideoRAID is an excellent solution for your video storage and access needs.

• High Performance SCSI Interface

The RTR320X disk array features a high performance Ultra320 SCSI interface which allows it to sustain a data transfer rate of up to 200 MB/second - more than enough bandwidth to support the playback of all formats of HD footage.

• Media Protection

A disk drive failure is not a catastrophic event with the RTR320X. The system will continue to operate without loss of data and at full performance should a drive fail within the unit. This enables the completion of work in progress without requiring immediate drive replacement. Costly downtime is eliminated since the system is fully functional during the rebuild process. Once the rebuild is completed, the RTR320X resumes the protection of your media.

• Multi-Stream Technology (MST)

Features Medea's proprietary MST, a sophisticated stream-handling algorithm that works with the system's on-board caching RAID controller to support the simultaneous real-time playback of multiple streams of uncompressed SD and HD video.

• Remote Management

You can remotely manage the array by via its ethernet port. This allows you easily troubleshoot and manage issues from any computer in your network.

• Raid Patrol

The VideoRAID is equipped with a maintenance system called RAID Patrol which monitors the disk media for errors and offers a level of protection not found in other disk arrays. This ensures that the system is constantly running at its best.

• Removable Disk Drive Modules

The array features removable disk drive modules and components facilitate on-site system upgrades and serviceability, enabling you to quickly swap out drives as necessary.

• Redundant Power Supplies

The array features optional redundant load-sharing power supplies. In the unlikely event that a power supply fails, the system will continue to operate without interruption.

• 24 Terabyte Scalable Capacity

You can daisy-chain several VideoRaid units to attain capacities of over 48 TB on a single SCSI host adapter. That capacity will allow you to store over 400 hours of uncompressed 10-bit SD video.
