1.0 ATTO FastStream SC 5300 offers data protection
The ATTO FastStream SC 5300 is an ideal solution for the cost sensitive demands of today’s networked
storage environments, offering great performance, OS independence, simplified management, and
RAID protection for all of your critical data.
Adding RAID ensures your data is protected
without compromising performance. The ATTO
FastStream SC 5300 is a high performance RAID
storage appliance which can be seamlessly
integrated into an existing storage environment
without regard to any particular manufacturer,
type of drive, capacity or speed.
The ATTO FastStream SC 5300 is ideally suited
for data intensive applications such as digital
video and audio editing. ATTO Audio Latency
Management™ technology provides parity RAID
protection while managing latency to allow high-
speed availability to support multiple tracks of
audio editing.
While RAID improves data accessibility and
reliability during normal operations, you still need
a good backup strategy for long-term protection
of your data.

industry standard rack mount 1U enclosure.
