CalDigit Announces The 1st FireWire RAID Configurable Storage Solution

DV Expo Los Angeles, CA: CalDigit proudly announced today the FireWireVR storage product to the lineup of its storage solution products. This new product allows for the universal connectivity of FireWire 400, 800, and USB 2.0 without the need of additional cards. The FireWire VR allows for RAID settings of 0, 1, and JBOD.

The control for the different RAID settings is right on the box. The FireWireVR product utilizes SATA 3Gb/s drives with 16MB’s cache per drive to meet the high speed demands of application, such as with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.

Under performance mode, the FireWireVR can handle 2 streams of 10 bit uncompressed SD, & 3 streams of 8 bit uncompressed SD, which is 1 stream more than any of our competitions products, thanks to our latest FireWireVR RAID engine.

Unlike other companies RAID 1 products, the FireWireVR product takes the place of other FireWire solutions that may have RAID functionality, but what do you do when a mirrored drive fails? You can’t rebuild on a dead drive that doesn’t allow for replacement”, said Jon Schilling, Account Manager, CalDigit, “Now the user can simply replace a dead drive module and start re-building where as other products on the market, you’re stuck trying to rebuild a dead drive that can’t be rebuilt and also can’t be easily replaced.”

· Up to 1.5TB capacity

An option offered with this line is our FireWireVR achieving box; this allows storage of additional drive modules for your projects in the same form factor as vertical standing VHS tapes.
