| Digital content creation and editing requires more speed and space than standard desktop drives are capable-why limit yourself to a single drive? Sonnet’s award-winning FusionTM D400Q desktop storage systems provide 2, 3, or 4TB of storage in four swappable drive modules, and four ways to connect them to a computer. They offer speed, versatility, and reliability-they’re great solutions for anyone looking for an affordable storage system that will fit into a variety of workflows. Maximum Performance,Maximum Convenience
Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or X4P PCI-X adapter installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D400Q system’s drives can be accessed through its port multiplier at maximum speed, whether configured as RAID 0, 1, 10, or JBOD set. A single Fusion D400Q system with its drives configured as a RAID 0 striped set achieves 220MB/sec, fast enough to support multiple streams of DV, HDV, DVCPRO, ProRes 422, or a single stream of uncompressed 10-bit NTSC video. Do you want even more performance? Up to four Fusion D400Q systems can be ganged on a single Tempo SATA E4P or X4P adapter to for double, triple, or even quadruple the available streams (as well as increasing the number of supported video formats). Key Features
- eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and USB 2.0 interfaces
- Single cable to host connectivity through an integrated port multiplier for all interfaces
- 2TB, 3TB, or 4TB configurations; Enterprise/RAID Edition drives(1)
- Up to 220 MB/sec transfer rate through eSATA interface (configured as RAID 0)
- Drive Activity, Drive Presence, and Power LED indicators
- Quiet fans
- eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400 and USB cables included
- Compatible with Sonnet TempoTM SATA II PCI-X, PCIe, and ExpressCard/34 Host Bus Adapters
- RoHS compliant
One Cable, Four Drives
Fusion D400Q enclosures employ a high performance SATA II port multiplier to manage the enclosed drives-just a single locking cable connects the enclosure to a SATA host controller card. This efficient interface simplifies setup and cuts cable clutter without compromising performance. No SATA? No problem-connected via a single FireWire 800, FireWire 400, or USB cable, all four drives can be accessed at the full speed of the respective interface. There is no need to reformat when changing from one interface to another, regardless the configuration. Driving Force
Fusion storage systems employ Enterprise/RAID Edition hard drives. These drives are subjected to hours of additional, stringent testing to check for soft errors, vibration, and other reliability predictors-just the sturdiest drives pass these tests and are prepared with special RAID-optimized firmware. Enterprise/RAID drives offer higher MTBF (mean time between failure) specs, carry longer warranties than "desktop" drives, and are 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. Versatile Performance
These systems are ideal for use in mixed environments-various operating systems, editing applications and output demands requiring the flexibility and interoperability that Fusion D400Q storage systems provide. Fusion storage systems support Mac OS® X, Windows® XP, Windows Vista, and Linux. They are compatible with capture cards from AJA, Blackmagic Design, Matrox, and Bluefish444, and work with all mainstream video editing applications including Apple® Final Cut Pro®, and Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS3.
