The Avid MediaDock LVD
The Avid MediaDock LVD is the default storage system that ships with the
Avid|DS. You can connect the Avid MediaDock LVD storage system directly to
the Adaptec controller in the Avid|DS workstation with the included SCSI
cables. The controller is installed before your Avid|DS workstation is shipped.
The Avid MediaDock LVD storage system
The Avid MediaDock LVD has eight slots for LVD shuttle drives. You can use
them in either single or dual-bus configurations. With Avid|DS, however, the
Avid MediaDock LVD is used in a dual-bus configuration. In this
configuration, the slots are shared between bus A and bus B. For example, the
four top slots on bus A and the four bottom slots on bus B.
Should you need extra storage, you can connect up to three Avid MediaDock
LVD enclosures to your Avid|DS workstation.
