The MediaVault U320-RS is a true plug and play RAID 0/3 disk array that provides the maximum performance at the lowest cost for any intensive media application.

Now featuring SATA II drives this new model replaces the previous U320-R model. The MediaVault U320-RS family uses a single U320 SCSI channel that bursts data at 320MB/Second and sustains 200 MB/second in HDT mode. The MediaVault U320-RS can record and play back the highest quality video, including 1080i HD at 10 bits.

This "RS" series features SATA II drives that are user removable for fast replacement and exchange in the field.

Now featuring SATA II drives the 4210S replaces the previous 4210 model. The MediaVault 4210S 4Gbit FC products are a market-proven RAID disk arrays capable of sustaining 250MB/sec per interface. A single MediaVault channel will record and play back 1080i HD 10 bit video or 4 uncompressed SD video streams, and the dual channel 4210S, which doubles the above rates, sets industry standards in content creation, being scalable to the point of delivering up to 4k film resolution playback to the desktop.

Each channel of the 4210S is configurable in either RAID0 mode for performance, or RAID3 mode for data protection. The array comes complete with 5 removable SATA II drive caddies per channel (10 caddies in total), and dual redundant removable power supplies. It is compatible with Mac, Windows, Unix and Linux platforms, as well as major brands of video editing, capture and playback cards/devices.

The new expansion feature of the MediaVault 4Gbit product enables physical connection of multiple units on the same host system interface in a "daisychain" fashion, giving the user the capability of read and write speeds of up to 380MB/s per interface, and capacity expansion to several tens of Terabytes of data and hours of video or film resolution footage.

Fibre Channel dramatically simplifies installations offering smaller, simpler cables, allowing more resilience to signal interference, and enabling much greater cable distances than parallel SCSI. Moreover, Fibre Channel supports multiple topologies, including point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric, enabling the MediaVault to operate equally effectively in direct attached or storage area network (SAN) environments (SAN software sold separately). You don’t have to worry about existing Fibre Channel infrastructure either MediaVault’s 4Gb interface is backwards compatible with 2Gb and 1Gb Fibre Channel components.

MediaVault allows you to select either RAID 0 or RAID 3 to match the performance and reliability best suited for the application. Utilise RAID 0 (striped drives) to achieve the greatest performance, or utilise RAID 3 (data protected) for excellent performance and the added protection of no performance degradation and no data loss if a drive fails. Huge Systems’ highly efficient RAID engine performs rebuilds of failed drives in the background—with easy service and upgrade.

* Based on ATTO's Bench32, measured using HP xw8000, ATTO FC-42XS, and Huge FCRX-1600-DM striped using Idmutil.exe and Window's Disk Management. (see the benchmark results)

The MediaVault 4440 is a small, very high performance RAID disk system with quad 4Gb fibre channel controllers and 40 x 2.5" laptop SATA drives. It is capable of data rates in excess of 1.5GB/sec which is enough to playback one stream of 4k film resolution files, 2 streams of 2k resolution, or 4 streams of uncompressed HD 10 bit.

The MediaVault 4440 features up to 4 removable canisters (vPODs) each containing 10 fixed drives and RAID controller. The RAID controller supports RAID 0 and 6 modes of operation and has two 4Gbit Fibre Channel ports supporting daisy-chaining. As with all other models in the MediaVault family, RAID 6 operation ensures that capturing and processing is never unexpectedly interrupted. Each vPOD maintains performance with no degradation in performance or data loss if one drive fails.

However, RAID 6 uses two drives for redundancy (parity) information. This means that when a single drive failure occurs in a vPOD it remains redundant. Even with two failed drives in a vPOD there is no degradation in performance or data loss. This RAID design enables you to plan when a vPOD should be returned for repair as a single failed drive does not result is a loss in data, performance or even redundancy.

By combining performance with shock-resistant laptop drives and RAID 6 technology in a removable module, the vPODs offer the highest level of RAID protection and drive reliability in a portable form. vPODs can be moved between enclosures so they can be filled with data in one location, and the data processed into another location without having to transport the whole array. Also, array may be purchased partially populated should you not need the performance or capacity of a fully populated 4440 today. Additional vPODs can be purchased at a later date as your needs for performance and/or capacity change.
