SR-HDPro - RAID 0 speed testSR-HDPro RAID 5 speed test

Need more speed?  If you have two open x4 compatible PCI Express slots,  you can combine two of the cards and enclosures!  Using the two cards and two enclosures populated with 16 hard drives provides sustained throughput of up to 800MB/s in RAID 5 and up to 1000MB/s in RAID 0 with a maximum capacity of 16TB!

Enclosure houses 8 high performance SATA II 3Gb/s, 16MB cache hard drives and connects to the included PCI Express SATA controller via two high-quality 6 foot long locking Multilane /mini SAS cables (also included).  Thanks to the air intake design and multiple fans, the enclosure moves a tremendous amount of air across the drives keeping them running cool.

If there is ever a need to replace a hard drive it's quick and easy! Simply unlock the slot mechanism and slide the hard drive out, there are no drive trays!  Slide in the new drive (automatically lines up correctly) and lock the slot mechanism.  Done!

Huge capacity and tremendous speed make the SR-HDPro ideal for: 

  • Video Editing: 10 bit Uncompressed HD, 10 bit Uncompressed SD, Multi-Stream SD, DVCPRO HD, HDV and DV
