Thank You
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the U320-R product from Huge Systems Inc. a leader in huge
performance, huge quality, and huge cost savings storage product for your video editing and storage
requirements.
Your U320-R storage system utilizes the latest SCSI Ultra320 technology. SCSI Ultra320 affords system
operations at blazing speeds, enabling you to maximize valuable system time and the highest of video
quality for DV to HD resolutions in a single SCSI channel.
Each U320-R contains one RAID controller and five removable disk modules. The U320-R uses the latest
in high performance disk drives and the latest transfer mode, huge throughput per disk drive pumping data
into our RTR (Real Time RAID) engine for fault tolerant and maximum transfer rates, coupled with the
RTC (Real Time Cache) at an internal data rate of 500MBytes/sec, this translates to a huge performance at
the SCSI interface, upward of 320MBytes/sec burst and 200MBytes/sec of sustained data rate with the
U320-R.
Data protection are available with the built-in RAID 3@2k mode. A simple and easy to use Mode Select
switch selects either RAID 0 or RAID 3@2k operation.
If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please call, FAX or e-mail us. We value input from
the most important people, you our customer.
Again, we thank you.
