Introducing Avid VideoRAID RTR320 and RTR320X disk arrays: high-capacity ATA-based Ultra320 SCSI storage solutions for Avid film and video editing systems. Avid VideoRAID systems combine real-time performance, cost-effective ATA drive technology, and the security of fail-safe data protection in the event of a disk drive failure.
Available in a 5-drive tower or a 10-drive 3U rackmount configuration, affordable Avid VideoRAID disk arrays support a wide range of Avid editing systems and software via industry-standard Ultra320 SCSI, while providing the protection of parity Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) technology. High-performance Multi-Stream Technology handles multiple streams of uncompressed SD and HD media with ease. Raw capacity ranges from 1.25 TB to a massive 10 TB per editing system.
-
Protects valuable content and maximises productivity - In the event of a disk drive failure, Avid VideoRAID disk arrays continue to operate without loss of data and at full performance. Unlike other RAID solutions that may be unusable during a drive rebuild, Avid VideoRAID maintains full performance while rebuilding in the background.

Engineered for the pace of digital content creation - Ultra320 SCSI bandwidth and innovative striping technology ensure real-time playback of up to two streams of 1:1 HD, supported on as few as ten drives.
-
Affordable RAID technology - Utilises high-capacity, cost-effective ATA drives for large amounts of protected storage at a low cost per gigabyte.
-
Optimised for Avid video editing systems - Avid VideoRAID disk arrays are fully tested and configured for guaranteed performance and reliability for Avid customers.
