Sonnet Technologies Launches Fusion QR

Sonnet Technologies has launched the Fusion QR, a portable four-drive RAID 5 SATA storage system that replaces the company's Fusion D400QR5.

The Fusion QR integrates a RAID 5 controller and offers a flexible quad interface that includes eSATA, dual FireWire 800, and USB 3.0.
Available without drives, and in 8TB, 12TB, and 16TB configurations, the Fusion QR features an internal RAID controller that manages the enclosed 3.5-inch hard drives and offers five drive configuration options for maximum flexibility. The RAID 5 configuration offers enhanced security for critical files and provides data protection in case one of the drives fails. Other configurations include maximum capacity and performance (RAID 0), balanced performance and security (RAID 10), and most concurrent audio file editing (JBOD). By setting a switch, users can select RAID modes and configure the drives to meet their performance and data security requirements.
The Fusion QR delivers data transfers up to 250 MB/sec read and 240 MB/sec write with its drives configured as a RAID 5 group. The storage system's USB 3.0, locking eSATA, and dual FireWire 800 interfaces, with three matching cables included, enable users to connect the Fusion QR to practically any computer.
"With the Fusion QR, we took everything that pros loved about the D400QR5 and made it lighter, more portable, and more affordable than ever. It is a great solution for on-location or mobile productions that require a reliable and versatile four-drive SATA storage in a compact package," said Robert Farnsworth, Sonnet CEO.
