The 2TB HDOne External Hard Drive Array from CalDigit is an external hard drive array designed for use in video production environments. The array supports sustained read/write speeds of over 400MB/sec, making it an excellent choice for video editing.
The HDPro has enough bandwidth to support multi-stream SD video playback, as well as support for a single stream of uncompressed 10-bit 1080/60i HD video. Its modular design and RAID administration utility make it an ideal choice for professional production environments.
High Performance, Large Capacity
The HDPro features extremely high data transfer rates, up to 400MB/sec write and 407MB/sec read, making it an ideal choice for working with HD video. It also offers a fantastic price per gigabyte, especially when compared to Fibre-Channel systems that offer comparable performance at premium prices.
RAID Data Protection
The array features support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6. RAID 0 is available for the ultimate in drive performance, without any data protection. RAID 1 mirrors data to two drives, halving capacity while offering realtime backup of data. RAID 5 is a parity system that allows data to be recovered in the event of a single drive failure. RAID 6 features an advanced dual parity system, which allows data to be recovered in the event of two drive failures.
Designed for Heavy Use
The HDPro is designed to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This makes it an ideal choice for production environments where data must be available at a moment's notice. Monitoring tools are available via a software utility to deliver constant reports on the health status of the array.
