Versatile Storage
Where you will use a storage system will often determine your selection. Whether sitting on a desk, mounted in a server or equipment rack, or placed on whatever surface you can find while working on location, Sonnet's Fusion™ F3 is a great choice for your high-speed storage needs. This 2-drive hardware RAID storage system has the features demanded by audio and video professionals—high throughput performance, rugged design, and quiet operation—plus the flexibility of a quad interface and the convenience of an integrated universal power supply. Fusion F3 encloses its high-performance 3.5" SATA RAID drives in a stylish aluminum and steel case that fits equally well in recording studios, high-end A/V racks, and desktop or mobile video editing systems.
Internal Hardware RAID and Quad Interface
A built-in high performance RAID controller manages Fusion F3's drives, and enables single cable to host connection. It supports fast (RAID 0), safe (RAID 1), and JBOD(1) (Just a Bunch of Disks) configurations, so you can choose the setup that best suits your needs. RAID mode configuration is OS independent, so the F3 can be connected directly to an audio editing/mixing interface (and other devices that support the feature) via FireWire interface without requiring a computer to link the storage system and device. Its quad interface makes it a cinch to connect Fusion F3 to your computer—select the eSATA or FireWire 800 interface for maximum speed or medium speed, respectively, or choose FireWire 400 or USB 2.0 for flexibility. Sonnet includes the cables for each interface, so you don't need to buy a new one or search for a spare.
Maximum Performance
When set to Fast mode (RAID 0) and the system connected through an eSATA controller like Sonnet's Tempo SATA E4P, Tempo SATA X4P, or Tempo SATA Pro ExpressCard/34, Fusion F3 can sustain transfer rates of up to 195 MB/sec read and write, fast enough for multiple streams of compressed video editing and perfect for use with multichannel audio work. When set to Safe mode (RAID 1) and the system connected via eSATA, Fusion F3 can sustain read/write transfer rates of up to 105 MB/sec while protecting the data by mirroring files on both drives.
