Enterprise-class Data Availability and Security
ThunderBox 800 supports the hardware RAID 6 engine to allow two
HDDs failures without impact the existing data and performance.
It allows users to hot swap drive in the event of a drive failure with
zero downtime. Its high data availability and protection derives
from many advanced RAID features on ThunderBox 800 RAID box
design. Intelligent power On/Off function on storage turns power
in unison with the host computer power status. It can intelligently
power down the unit after the thunderbolt host shuts down every-
thing for data integrity. ThunderBox 800 also supports a battery
backup option that protects all data in cache memory in the event
of unexpected power outage. Board-level hardware encryption
manages any kinds of drives attached to ThunderBox 800 without
impacting the performance for higher levels of security.
Enabling an Easy-to-Manage Storage
Configuration and monitoring can be managed either through the
LCD control panel, Thunderbolt interface or LAN port. The intel-
ligent cooling continuously adapts to environmental conditions by
automatically controlling the speed of the cooling fans for the rap-
idly growing demand from the video editing markets. You can even
configure ThunderBox 800 to intelligently spin down drives during
periods of inactivity to further reduce noise and save energy. Areca
solution of Thunderbolt 2 provides user the capability of adding
bootable drive via Thunderbolt on Apple thunderbolt-capable ma-
chine.
