The StudioRAID 32TB 2-Bay USB 3.0 RAID Array (2 x 16TB) from Glyph Technologies is engineered to facilitate the editing and playback of multiple audio and HD video streams. This production-grade external RAID array connects to your host system via a micro-USB 3.0 port, two FireWire 800 ports, or one eSATA port, achieving data transfer speeds of up to 360 MB/s. It features two 3.5" drive bays, providing a total storage capacity of 32TB, configured with two 16TB 7200 rpm hard drives. To optimize its performance in a production setting, the StudioRAID is pre-configured as RAID 0, which enhances speed by distributing data across both drives, while also supporting RAID 1 for data redundancy. For users who do not need RAID functionality, JBOD and SPAN configurations are available. The array is powered by an internal international auto-switching power supply that operates within a range of 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, features an intelligent quiet fan for cooling, includes disk health monitoring, and is housed in a durable, scratch-resistant black powder-coated aluminum chassis with a brushed stainless steel front panel. Although the StudioRAID is pre-formatted for HFS+ Journaled for Mac systems, it can be easily reformatted for use with Windows, Linux, Unix, and BSD. The package includes a USB-B 3.2 Gen 1 cable, a FireWire 800 cable, and an IEC power cable, and it is backed by hardware, data recovery, and advance replacement warranties. General Features The StudioRAID is a reliable hardware RAID array with USB 3.0, FireWire 800, and eSATA connectivity, supporting RAID 0, 1, JBOD, and SPAN modes. A temperature-controlled intelligent fan complements its auto-sensing power supply for a combination of speed and reliability RAID 0 (striping) increases the performance of the drive system by spreading the data across two drives. RAID 0 is designed for editing video, working with huge graphics files, sound libraries, and streaming instruments that play hundreds of samples simultaneously. RAID 0 is the default shipping drive mode. RAID 1 offers data redundancy and real-time backup by writing the same data to the two hard drives at the same time. Should a drive failure happen, data is still available on the remaining drive The Glyph StudioRAID comes pre-formatted as HFS+ with Journaling and is Time Machine compatible out of the box. A simple reformat is all it takes for the StudioRAID to work with Windows systems The StudioRAID uses a temperature-controlled fan that helps keep it quiet while still offering proper cooling. The case is designed with front-panel ventilation holes to draw cool air in, while exhausting warm air out the back External power adapters are easily misplaced, accidentally unplugged, and take up valuable outlet space. The StudioRAID uses an industry-standard power cord and a pro-quality internal power supply for efficient and reliable power. The StudioRAID will also sense when you connect over USB or FireWire, and automatically power on The StudioRAID includes disk monitoring features designed to keep your data safe. Should your drive begin to exhibit behavior indicating an imminent drive failure, the multi-function LED will alert you via a red light. Additionally, to safeguard against accidentally powering off your StudioRAID, the intelligent power switch must be held for 3 seconds to power off the drive The GPT Rackmount Kit transforms your StudioRAID into a rackmount hard drive. The rackmount kit accessory is capable of mounting one or two Studio-series drives
