The
TowerRAID TR8X is ab 8-bay tower with two mini-SAS
connections, for high transfer rates of up to 750MB/s when used with a
high performance RAID controller card. Utilizing high bandwidth mini-SAS
(SFF-8088) cabling, the TR8X supports 3Gb/s SAS or SATA hard drives to
deliver superior read / write speeds that are crucial in
performance-driven environments such as video editing industry and
server application. The mini-SAS ports combine eight hard drives
connections into two, reducing possible points of failures, while
preserving uninterrupted data transfer. The TR8X also supports SATA
drives, allowing users the option to choose between high performance and
high capacity storage solutions. Hard drive and RAID controller bundles
options are available. When utilizing a SAS or SATA RAID controller,
the unit could effortlessly support multi-streaming of compressed
high-quality playback or a single-stream of uncompressed 10-bit high
definition video under various RAID modes.
