Up till now, backwards compatibility has usually meant making compromises. In the new ARC-8050U3-6 RAID system, however, this does not apply. The ingenious storage box handles four transmission threads via a single connection: USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3. Depending on the host connection type, the inexpensive Compact Tower is capable of achieving transfer speeds between 480 Mbps and 10 Gbps.
The compact system achieves such high transfer rates because it can be equipped with fast (12 Gbps) SAS drives. Of course, the unit supports cheaper SATA and SSD disks with its Six "hot swappable" bays. Equipped with 6 x 14 TB HDDs, the ARC-8050U3 offers a gross capacity of 84 TB. Should things get tight, the built-in SAS expansion port offers an option for additional capacities.
As an operating system-independent storage system, installation is feasible without the need for additional software or drivers. It supports RAID Levels 0, 1, 10, 1E, 3, 5, 6, Single Disk and JBOD for optimal stored data security. In addition, the ARC-8050U3 can be optionally equipped with a battery backup module. This protects the data in the Cache Memory in the event of an unexpected power failure. Its controller-level ROC hardware encryption manages all types of drives without compromising overall performance.
Configuration and monitoring can be performed by the user directly from the integrated LCD panel or via Ethernet connection using your web browser.
The compact storage cubes are suitable wherever large amounts of data need to be made quickly available to individual workstations. This is particularly true for the media industry, for example in audio or video editing environments as well as professional photo manipulation. Since there must be no disturbing noises, the Areca engineers installed an intelligent cooling system in the ARC-8050U3-6. It continuously adapts to the ambient conditions by automatically regulating the speed of the super smooth brushless fans.
From the laboratory The Areca ARC-8050U3-6 achieved the following transfer rates to the host:· RAID 0 Transfer: |
