CalDigit HDPro2 16TB External Hard Drive Array with eLane-1e 1 Port PCI-e Host Card, Eight Swappable Drive Modules

CalDigit HDPro2 16TB External Array w/8 Drive Modules & eLane-1e Host Card Features

• Safe, Reliable Storage: When you need a massive amount of storage for your HD projects, large media files, databases, photos, or audio files, the HDPro is the ideal storage solution
• High Speed, Low Cost, Virtually Unlimited Capacity: The CalDigit HDPro offers the best gigabyte-per-dollar ratio in the world for hardware RAID storage. The HDPro is a high-performance storage solution with capacities from 8TB to 16TB
• Managing, Monitoring and Reporting Technology: Each HDPro features an environmental processor, which monitors and manages all aspects of the system including: hard drives, RAID array, controller, controller cache, fans, temperature, power supply, and enclosure conditions
• A Cooler Workstation: Excessive heat can cause major issues and performance problems inside any workstation. Each and every component that is added to a workstation generates heat. These components are generally crammed into a small space, which in turn restricts airflow
• Direct Connection: Unlike Fibre Channel, SCSI, FireWire and eSATA RAID storage, the CalDigit HDPro features a direct connection to the PCI Express bus, utilizing the computers bridge chip and memory system, combined with extremely high link speeds
• Substantial Cable Connection: HDPro's cable has a substantial connection for added strength and long-term protection as well as performance. The secure latch will prevent the cable from being pulled out accidentally and ensure workflow is uninterrupted
• Editing on the Go: Many RAID storage systems today are limited to use on desktop workstations. With today's advanced mobile technology there is more and more of a demand for storage on the go
• Built-In Intel XScale Core Processor: The HDPro has an integrated Intel XScale core to accelerate RAID performance and provides support for multiple RAID levels
• Active Sustained Transfer Technology (ASTT): ASTT was designed by CalDigit's top engineers to provide the ultimate in sustained performance. This advanced technology is unique to CalDigit and cannot be found anywhere else
• Pay-as-You-Grow" Scalability: HDPro is a flexible, open, remarkably scalable, and highly available RAID storage solution with virtually unlimited storage capabilities. It uses CalDigit's advanced PCI Express architecture that enables its 'pay-as-you-grow' scalability
• Bootable: The HDPro is bootable. Simply install the operating system of your choice (Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux) onto the HDPro and it will become completely bootable. By booting from HDPro the ability to troubleshoot system issues and start up disks can be achieved whenever errors are encountered
• No More 2TB Limitation in Windows Platforms: Windows uses 32-bit block numbers in the lower storage stack.This effectively limits support for hardware RAID sets. To get storage unit sizes that are beyond 2TB, one had to combine multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) using the Windows Disk Management
