Sonnet 12TB D800P2 8-Drive SATA Storage System with Dual Port Multipliers, Two Locking eSATA Connectors

The D800P2 employs two high performance SATA II port multipliers, each managing four drives. By using dual port multipliers, Sonnet has created a high performance storage system with data throughput fast enough to support multiple streams of DV, HDV, DVCPRO, ProRes 422, or uncompressed 8-bit 1080i HD video, without the need of an expensive dedicated RAID controller card.

Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or x4P PCI-x host controller installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D800P2 system's drives can be accessed at high speed, whether configured as a RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10 set, or JBOD. With its drives configured as a RAID 0 striped set, a Fusion D800P2 storage system achieves up to 400 MB/sec write, 470 MB/sec read data transfers.

Fusion D800P2 storage systems offer speed, versatility and reliability - they're a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable storage system that will fit into a variety of workflows. The Fusion D800P2 uses just two locking eSATA data cables (a Sonnet exclusive) to connect the enclosure to a SATA host controller card.

This efficient interface simplifies setup and cuts cable clutter without compromising 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 D800P2 storage systems provide.
