The 5TB VideoRAID ST Add-on Hard Drive Array from Avid is an external SAS hard drive array, designed for use in professional video editing environments. Housed in a mini-tower form factor, this add-on does not include a host adapter card, so it must be used in conjuction with another VideoRAID ST. It is certified for use in Avid editing systems.
Hot Swappable Drives
The array chassis features hot-swappable hard drives. This allows you to quickly swap out a disk in the event of a hardware failure. You can also rotate full sets of disks in and out of the enclosure as you work on different projects.
