1. Introduction
This section presents a brief overview of the 6Gb/s SAS RAID storage,
ARC-8050T2. (Thunderbolt 2 to 6Gb/s SAS RAID storage)
1.1 Overview
Unleash Your Creativity Faster Than Ever
Thunderbolt 2 is full backward compatibility to the same cables
and connectors used with today’s Thunderbolt. It pushes speed to
20Gb/s and enables 4K video file transfer and display simultane
-
ously. ARC-8050T2 is equipped with dual Thunderbolt 2 ports for
connecting to any Thunderbolt 2-enabled host such as the new Mac
Pro, and offers an additional Thunderbolt 2 port for daisy-chaining
other peripherals. The Thunderbolt daisy-chaining allows connec-
tion of up to six devices, so customers can connect ARC-8050T2
for massive amounts of video storage with a single Thunderbolt
connection to their host computer. ARC-8050T2 can meet the de
-
mand of users when working with rich, ultra- high resolution media
through Thunderbolt 2 interface.
Unparalleled Performance for 4K Workflow
ARC-8050T2 is the most complete 6Gb/s SAS 8-bay Thunderbolt
2 box with RAID control capabilities solution for both PC and Mac.
ARC-8050T2 incorporated on-board dual core 800Mhz RAID-On-
Chip and with 1GB DDR3-1333 memory to deliver true high perfor-
mance hardware RAID protection against drive failure.This combi-
nation helps to provide a high performance storage device perfect
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
ARC-8050T2 and doing a simultaneous 4K output and file transfers
while maintaining maximum throughput.
