Avid VideoRAID ST and SR

Avid® VideoRAID® ST and Avid VideoRAID combine real-time performance, cost-effective SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) drive technology, and the security of fail-safe data protection in the event of a disk drive failure.

Unlike other RAID solutions that may be unusable during a drive rebuild, Avid VideoRAID solutions help you keep up with the fast pace of digital content creation by maintaining full performance and data protection, while rebuilding the drives in the background. You will also be able to take advantage of real-time playback of up to two streams of uncompressed HD on as few as eight Avid VideoRAID drives. Additionally,  all new VideoRAID ST and SR customers qualify for a three year warranty on drive mechanisms and enclosures, providing advanced exchange of replacements parts at no additional cost.

Available in a 5-drive tower (ST) or a 16-drive rack mount (SR) configuration, Avid VideoRAID ST/SR disk arrays support a wide range of Avid editing systems, including the recently announced Media Composer®, Symphony™ Nitris® and NewsCutter® family of products, as well as third-party applications, via an industry-standard SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interconnect. The products provide the protection of parity through the use of RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) which can handle multiple streams of uncompressed SD and HD media with ease and offer a capacity ranging from 2.5TB to 16TB per editing system.
