Fast Thunderbolt 3 RAID systems for video professionals - Starline Computer: Storage und Server Lösungen von erfahrenen Experten

RAID Storage solutions with fast Thunderbolt3 connection

Easy to install RAID systems with Thunderbolt3 technology for Mac and PC

Thunderbolt 3 RAID Systems

With Thunderbolt3 systems, you can easily and quickly deploy high storage capacity. Plug it in, done.

Our range in the area of fast Thunderbolt3 solutions is particularly well stocked because of the many advantages. We can offer many smart storage developments from Areca and Netstor for image editors, audio/video professionals or simply for data backup. Starting with the tiny RAID cube with four drives for mobile photographers. We can even supply large 24 bay rackmount systems with several Thunderbolt3 ports. These storages, however, supply whole working groups via Thunderbolt3. In some cases, they can be expanded via SAS expansion port, especially via JBODs, to provide additional capacity.

The hot-pluggable and fast Thunderbolt3 standard is not only particularly high-performance, it also allows daisy chaining of up to six devices – including the DisplayPort screen. For this reason, a simple and cost-effective infrastructure can be quickly set up in the media office. With our active cables – with a length of up to 15 meters – even several offices can be networked with it.

 

Accessories for all positions

We also have sophisticated Thunderbolt3 accessories in our range. This means that even unusual storage requirements can be implemented quickly. For example, we offer expansion housings with Thunderbolt ports that can accommodate special PCIe cards. So media professionals can add the capabilities of professional video or audio editing cards to their MacBook Pro.

In addition, our Thunderbolt3 bridges provide a fast connection to other network infrastructures such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel or SAS.

ARC-8042
RAID-System
4363-64c377e38d9bc535540942

Areca's ARC-8042-12 provides large capacities in a small footprint as a SAS-to-SAS desktop RAID subsystem. Up to 12 Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) drives at 12 Gbps or 12 Serial ATA (SATA) drives at 6.0 Gbps can be accommodated in this external storage enclosure. The high-performance dual-core ROC processor, 2GB RAM memory architecture and 12 Gbit/s SAS technology ensure high performance in the workflow.

ARC-8050T3-12R
RAID-System
6472-669e2ee7e8c38093838192

The ARC-8050T3-12R can be deployed in both PC and Mac environments with 12 bays and 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports. It features an integrated 1.2 GHz dual-core ROC and 2 GB ECC SDRAM memory for high-performance RAID protection. This allows the Thunderbolt3 system to simultaneously power demanding workgroups such as video editors with real-time HD and 4K streams. Daisy-chaining allows up to six devices to be connected, so the ARC-8050T3 rackmount requires only one Thunderbolt port to the host computer.

ARC-8050T3U-12E
RAID-System
5932-6605c42ac1eb0562680065

The sophisticated storage box can handle USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen1, USB 3.2 Gen2 and Thunderbolt 3 via a single connection. The fast RAID systems are available with 4, 6, 8 and 12 drive bays. As an operating system-independent storage system, installation is possible without additional software or drivers. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 3, 5, 6, single disc or JBOD for the necessary security of the data stored on it.

The compact storage cubes are suitable wherever large amounts of data need to be available quickly at individual workstations. This is particularly true for the media industry, for example in audio or video editing as well as photo composing. As there must be no disruptive noise, the Areca engineers installed an intelligent cooling system in the ARC-8050T3U. It continuously adapts to the ambient conditions by automatically regulating the speed of the brushless fan.
