Hive Desktop 12TB RAID storage system

Product code: 72524

Creative professionals and media producers know that data storage needs become
more demanding with each successive generation of hi-fi and hi-def content. With
this explosion of information, capacity is generally the primary consideration. But
data is useless if it canÕt be accessed reliably and protected securely. A bandwidth
bottleneck or, even worse, disk failure can spell doom for mission-critical projects.

Introducing the HIVE 4-bay mini-RAID system. Pre-configured with enterprise-class
drives and featuring an array of connectivity options, the HIVE represents the
ultimate mini-RAID storage solution. Traditional mass-storage RAID devices are
large and expensive, requiring climate-controlled environments and significant rack
space. HIVE fits easily on any desktop and represents a complete, standalone disk
array, at a fraction of the cost of traditional enterprise-class systems.

INTERFACE

HIVE provides four different connection interfaces, ensuring compatibility
with virtually any PC, and providing maximum bandwidth for large files.
FireWire 800
Transfer speed: up to 400Mbit/sec
FireWire 400
Transfer speed: up to 400Mbit/sec
USB 2.0
Transfer speed: up to 480Mbit/sec
eSATA
Transfer speed: up to 3Gbit/sec

DRIVE BAYS

The unique auto-limiting segmented screws prevent drive damages caused
by over-tightening during installation. The SmartGuider enables trayless drive
positioning, and effortless hot-swapping.

COOLING SYSTEM

Because of the unique upright position of the drives, the high quality, silent
running fan will blow air from the bottom to the top, dramatically enhancing
the internal airflow and cooling efficiency of the unit. Together with vents and
a rugged aluminum case, the HIVE acts as a supremely efficient channel for
heat dissipation.

STATUS INDICATORS

The onboard LED indicators keep users apprised of the RAID,
connection, and individual drive status.
