ExaRAID 4508S 12 bay SATA II to PCIe RAID
 |  | Description The ExaRAID 4508S is a perfect addition to any video environment, or any application where high-speed, fault tolerant data storage and transfer is needed. Whether you stream video, do post-production video work, or need massive amounts of storage for vide, audio or other files, the 4508S is your solution! The ExaRAID line is PCI-E based, offering blazing fast data throughput at an economical cost. The unit features redundant fans and power supplies, and ultimate data redundancy. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 0+1 & JBOD supported. Optimized for 2K/4K HD video processing. Snapshot function allows fast backup and restore. The ExaRAID 4508D contains the following functions: - Extreme Performance: Dual 2.5Gb x4 PCI-e provided 1.5GBps host-transferring bandwidth with upgraded Intel CPU which delivers high performance for heavy duty storage applications.
- Simple Management: Front Panel LCD and Java-based GUI make RAID function set up and management easy.
- Equalization Mode: EQ mode is able to improve video quality, especially for HD or 2K/4K video editing applications.
- Disk Self Test automatically tests RAID hard drive health. DST performs write, servo analysis, & read scan tests; the test results are displayed on the LCD & Hyperterminal outputs.
- Disk Scrubbing uses idle time to test disks. If a sector is corrupted, DS regenerates data from other RAID member disks & writes it to an uncorrupted sector. DS prevents having multiple corrupted sectors in a single stripe, one of the main causes of data loss.
- Disk Cloning used with the SATA SMART function, determines the optimum time for the system to begin cloning a failing drive to a system hot spare disk. The cloned disk automatically takes over array function, eliminating degraded performance during rebuilds.
