Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or X4P PCI-X host controller installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D500P system's drives can be accessed through its port multiplier(1 at full speed, whether configured as a RAID 0, 1, 10, or JBOD set. With its drives configured as a RAID 0 striped set, a single Fusion D500P achieves 240MB.

For automatic identification and scsi & raid devices drivers, we strongly recommend to download and install the Driver Update Tool – it will help you to get the correct latest drivers for all of your devices and avoid conflicts and improper work of your system. Note: Improper or outdated drivers in your system may cause system failure, blue screen also known as “Blue Screen of Death. Easy Storage Expandability When you need access to more than the original 16TB, 32TB, or 48TB capacity of your Fusion™ RX1600RAID, RX1600Fibre™, or RX1600 Vfibre™ storage system, Sonnet offers an economical upgrade path that is simple to deploy—Fusion RX1600 Expansion systems.
Today's digital content creation and editing require more speed and space than anybody would have imagined just a few, short years ago-now, storage needs are spoken of in terabytes instead of gigabytes. FireWire drives used to be the storage solution of choice for users on a limited budget, but they don't offer enough performance for all but the most basic needs, and high-end SCSI storage systems are out of reach for most people. You probably need something in between-Sonnet's Fusion D500P SATA storage systems offer speed, versatility, and reliability in a compact package-they are a great solution for anyone looking for an affordable storage system that will fit into a variety of workflows.
Maximum Performance
Connected to a Sonnet Tempo SATA E4P PCIe or X4P PCI-X host controller installed in a Mac or Windows computer, a Fusion D500P system's drives can be accessed through its port multiplier(1 at full speed, whether configured as a RAID 0, 1, 10, or JBOD set. With its drives configured as a RAID 0 striped set, a single Fusion D500P achieves 240MB/sec, fast enough to support multiple streams of DV, HDV, DVCPRO, or uncompressed 8-bit 1080i HD video. Up to four Fusion D500Ps can be ganged on a single Tempo SATA E4P or X4P controller for double, triple, or even quadruple the available streams (as well as increasing the number of supported video formats).
Safe and Secure
Fusion storage systems (except 0 TB models) employ Enterprise/RAID Edition hard drives(2), which are subjected to hours of additional testing to check for soft errors, vibration, and other reliability predictors just the sturdiest drives pass these tests. Only then are they prepared with special RAID-optimized firmware and become the building blocks of a super-reliable Fusion storage system. For added convenience, the swappable drive modules are compatible across the entire Fusion line.
One Cable, All the Data
The Fusion D500P enclosure employs a high performance SATA II port multiplier to manage the enclosed drives just a single locking data cable connects the enclosure to a SATA host controller card. This efficient interface simplifies setup and cuts cable clutter without compromising performance.
Form Meets Function
Fusion D500P systems can be used for simple backup needs, but they are well-suited for use in editing suites employing applications such as Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 video editing software, and video capture cards from AJA, Blackmagic Design, Matrox and Bluefish444. With an attractive and user-friendly design, Fusion D500P's handsome door hides the drive modules, yet status indicator LEDs for each drive shine through. The drive modules have built-in locking levers that double as handles to make swapping easy. If you choose, you can also secure each module in place with the built in locks (great for added security). To keep things cool, the Fusion D500P uses a swappable fan module with a fan that is 80% quieter than a standard case fan, making this system perfectly suited for use in noise-sensitive environments.
Expandability to Start
Looking for a desktop 5-drive, removable storage system to expand with your needs? The Fusion D500P-0TB storage system offers the same great features as Sonnet's other D500P models, but without the hard drives(2). Performance, capacity, and RAID reliability are dependent on drive choice.
The USB 2.0 to Ultra SCSI Converter opens the world of high performance SCSI devices for systems featuring USB 2.0, but no SCSI ports. Attaching the converter to an Ultra SCSI storage device allows it to behave just like a USB 2.0 device. Unlike many competing converters, the converter is Ultra SCSI rather than SCSI II based, so it offers high performance of up to 20 MBps. The converter interfaces with a wide range of SCSI based drives, scanners, CD-ROM, CD-R/W, Zip and other devices. The unit can be used by itself when used in conjunction with SCSI devices that provide power on the SCSI Termination Power output pin. Otherwise, purchase the optional power adapter in addition to the unit. The device's small size and light weight, makes it an excellent choice for mobile uses. For external SCSI devices only.
