CalDigit HDPro2 available in 8, 16 and 24TB
The CalDigit HDPro2 is the most innovative eight-drive hardware RAID solution around. Everything you need in one powerful package, ready to use right out of the box. Setup is a breeze with ultimate reliability built right in.
The HDPro2 provides stunning performance with true hardware RAID protection for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and JBOD. in RAID 5 the HDPro2 reaches sustained speeds of up to 800MB/s. The direct connect external PCIe connection is extremely fast.
Safe, Reliable Storage
When you need a massive amount of storage for your HD projects, large media files, databases, photos, or audio files, the HDPro is the ideal storage solution.
-
Support for RAID 5 and features an advanced distributed parity algorithm. Access to data and parity blocks are spread across all 8 drives in the array. To improve the read and write performance, RAID 5 is not limited to a dedicated parity drive, like RAID 3 solutions.
-
When configured with RAID 6, fault tolerance is maintained by the world class CalDigit RAID engine, ensuring that the parity information is placed on TWO drives. This block of data is completely separate from the drives used to store the data itself. This allows for ultimate protection, allowing up to two drives to fail, with the loss of any data.
-
Offering RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD, the HDPro provides safe and reliable operation, all in one package, and backed by CalDigit's one year warranty.
Unlimited Capacity
The CalDigit HDPro2 uses SATA 3Gb/s drives with up to 32MB cache, this means performance that meets the needs of the most demanding video and content editing software. Each 7200-RPM SATA hard drive connects to a dedicated SATA channel to eliminate bottlenecks and maximize the 3Gb/s native SATA connection.
The HDPro2 also supports SAS drives for the ultimate in performance, speed and reliability. SAS drives spin at 10,000-RPM and can provide additional performance and reliability.
The HDPro2 utilizes the fast PCIe infrastructure to connect directly to the host computer. Instead of using the RAID controller inside the workstation, the HDPro2 has it built inside. Using external PCIe, CalDigit is able to achieve a direct connection to the host with no delay or conversion unlike fibre solutions. This powerhouse delivers up to 720MB/s with RAID 5 protection.
The HDPro2 delivers sustained data throughput, providing the fastest sustained data rate in its class. These graphs illustrate how the HDPro2 is able to keep up with the most demanding real-world scenarios. Optimized for video playback, the HDPro2 means dropped frames are a thing of the past.
Other RAID storage solutions are capable of playing back 10-bit 4K uncompressed footage in bursts, but dropped frames are commonly experienced after just 2-3 minutes or less of playback. The HDPro2 is a true editing solution that maintains its data rates during both editing and playback!
Each HDPro2 holds 8 hot swappable drive modules in a desktop tower, optional rack mount kits are available. The hot swappable functionality of the HDPro2 allows users to upgrade the drive's capacity as needed, while remaining very easy to configure. There is no capacity limitation to any single chassis.
