This section presents a brief overview of the 6Gb/s SAS RAID storage,
ThunderBox 600. (Thunderbolt 2 & USB 3.0 to 6Gb/s SAS RAID storage)
2.1 Overview
Unleash Your Creativity Faster Than Ever
ThunderBox 600 features two cutting-edge interfaces, Thunderbolt
2 and SuperSpeed USB 3.0. Thunderbolt 2 is full backward compat-
ibility to the same cables and connectors used with today’s Thun-
derbolt. It pushes speed to 20Gb/s and enables 4K video file trans-
fer and display simultaneously. ThunderBox 600 is equipped with
dual Thunderbolt 2 ports for connecting to any Thunderbolt 2-en-
abled host such as the new Mac Pro, and offers an additional Thun-
derbolt 2 port for daisy-chaining other peripherals. The Thunderbolt
daisy-chaining allows connection of up to six devices, so customers
can connect ThunderBox 600 for massive amounts of video storage
with a single Thunderbolt connection to their host computer. Thun-
derBox 600 can meet the demand of users when working with rich,
ultra-high resolution media through Thunderbolt 2 interface. The
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface offers high-performance connectivity
and is backward compatibility with any computer running compat-
ible ve
r
sions of Mac OS X (such as Mac Pro) or Windows.
Unparalleled Performance for 4K Workflow
ThunderBox 600 is a 6-bay 6Gb/s SAS/SATA Thunderbolt 2/USB
3.0 storage with RAID control capabilities solution for Mac and PC
environment. ThunderBox 600 incorporated high performance ROC
and 1GB DDR3 memory with ECC protection to deliver true hard-
ware RAID for the video editor working with real time multi-stream
HD and 4K workflows. It runs efficiently without disruption or
major drops in performance to meet the requirements of 4K data
workflow. It is so quick it allows for 4K displays at the same time
as daisy chaining ThunderBox 600 and doing a simultaneous 4K
output and file transfers while maintaining maximum throughput.
