CalDigit HDPro2 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 HDPro2 offers the best gigabyte-per-dollar ratio in the world for hardware RAID storage. The HDPro2 is a high-performance storage solution with capacities from 8TB to 16TB.
• Managing, Monitoring and Reporting Technology: Each HDPro2 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 HDPro2 features a direct connection to the PCI Express bus, utilizing the computer's bridge chip and memory system, combined with extremely high link speeds.
• 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 demand for storage on the go.
• Built-In Intel XScale Core Processor: The HDPro2 has an integrated, state of the art, Intel XScale core to accelerate RAID performance and provides support for multiple RAID levels.
• Active Sustained Transfer Technology (ASTT): With ASTT, the performance of your HDPro2 is always kept in check. When data is transferred, any highs (peaks) or lows (drops) are equalized by the Active Sustained Transfer Technology.
• "Pay-as-You-Grow" Scalability: HDPro2 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 HDPro2 is bootable. Simply install the operating system of your choice (Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux) onto the HDPro2 & it will become completely bootable. By booting from HDPro2 the ability to troubleshoot system issues & start up disks can be achieved whenever errors are encountered.
