Maximum Performance
Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or X4P PCI-X adapter installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D500P system’s drives can be accessed through its port multiplier(1) at full speed, whether configured as RAID 0, 1, 10, or JBOD. A single Fusion D500P configured as a RAID 0 striped set achieves 225MB/sec, fast enough to support multiple streams of DV, HDV, DVCPRO, or uncompressed 8-bit 1080 HD video. Do you want even more performance? Up to four Fusion D500Ps can be ganged on a single Tempo SATA E4P or X4P adapter for double, triple, or even quadruple the available streams.Safe and Secure
Fusion storage systems employ Enterprise/RAID Edition hard drives, which are subjected to hours of additional testing to check for soft errors, vibration, and other reliability predictors-just the sturdiest drives pass these tests. Only then are they prepared with special RAID-optimized firmware and become the building blocks of a super-reliable Fusion storage system. Need even more storage space? For added convenience, the swappable drive modules are compatible across the Fusion line, and additional modules may be purchased separately. One Cable, Five Drives
The Fusion D500P enclosure employs a high performance SATA II port multiplier to manage the enclosed drives-just a single cable connects the enclosure to a SATA host controller card. This efficient interface simplifies setup and cuts cable clutter without compromising performance. Works Well Together
Fusion D500P systems can be used for simple backup needs, but they are well-suited for use in editing suites. They are compatible with Apple Final Cut Pro® and Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS3 video editing software, and video capture cards from AJA, Blackmagic Design, Matrox and Bluefish444. Form Meets Function
Fusion D500P is attractive and user friendly. Its handsome door hides the drive modules, yet status indicator LEDs for each drive shine through. The drive modules have built-in locking levers that double as handles to make swapping easy. Or if you choose, you can secure each module in place with the built-in locks (great for added security). To keep things cool, the Fusion D500P enclosure integrates an ultra-quiet, swappable fan module. This fan is 80% quieter than a standard case fan, making this system perfectly suited for use in noise-sensitive environments. Key Features

Technical Notes:
(1) Fusion D500P requires a SATA host controller that supports port multipliers, such as Sonnet's Tempo SATA E4P for computers with PCI Express slots, Tempo SATA X4P for computers with PCI-X slots, or Tempo SATA Express 34 for portable computers with an ExpressCard slot. |
