Sonnet Fusion D400QR5

Sonnet Fusion D400QR5

£586.33

Desktop or Rackmount

Sonnet Fusion D400QR5 desktop and Fusion R400QR5 rackmount storage systems deliver speed, reliability, and versatility in easy to deploy packages. Available in 2, 3, 4 or 6TB configurations, each D400QR5 or R400QR5 system features a high performance internal RAID controller, a useful display, and simple to use controls that enable you to easily configure the drives for a variety of workflows. Choose RAID 0 for maximum performance, RAID 5 for balanced, failsafe file protection and performance, or JBOD for maximum flexibility.

RAID 5 Benefits

RAID 5 drive set configuration offers critical security that RAID 0 lacks. A RAID 0 configuration (data striped across all the drives with no redundancy) delivers the best data transfer speeds, but the tradeoff BASIC RAID 5 STORAGE SYSTEMS is that if a drive fails, all the data on the volume may be lost. A RAID 5 configuration (data striped across all the drives with parity across all members) still delivers great performance, but should a single drive fail, the data on the volume is retained. Replacing the failed drive will restore the volume back to normal. RAID 5 support in Fusion D400QR5 and R400QR5 is provided by the integrated RAID controller, so a specialized controller card is not required.

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. To keep things simple, Sonnet includes all four interface cables in the package

Features:

  • High Performance - When connected via eSATA and with four 1TB drives configured as RAID 5 set, delivers data transfers up to 224 MB/sec read, 177 MB/sec write
  • RAID 5 Onboard - Integrated hardware RAID controller supports RAID 5 internally; no need for a specialized RAID controller card
  • Informative Display - Provides operating status at a glance
  • Simple Setup - Integrated controls enable you to select from multiple RAID modes and configure the drives to meet your performance and data security needs, no matter which interface you choose
  • Choice of Interface - eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and USB connections provide maximum setup convenience and flexibility
  • Quiet Operation - High performance, low noise fans
  • Platform independent - Mac, Windows and Linux
