FEATURES
All Sonnet Desktop (“D” model) Fusions have a
swappable fan module that uses an ultra-quiet
fan, which is 80%
quieter than a
standard case fan.
This Sonnet fan
noise is only 20
dBA, much qui-
eter than the
desktop com-
puter—such as a
Mac Pro—that the
Fusions are de-
signed to stand
beside. Sonnet fans use a double ball bearing
design for extended life.
The 1U rackmount Fusion R400Q system
enclosure, at just 1.75” tall, is simple to deploy
in most server racks.
◆ RAID Performance for HD Video:
The array comes configured as a RAID 5 array for high performance and data protection. The
RAID can achieve sustained data transfer speeds of up to 160 MB/sec, allowing it to play back
multiple streams of uncompressed 10-bit NTSC video.
◆ PCI Express RAID Controller:
The included PCI Express RAID controller features an Intel IOP 348 RAID processor. The card fea-
tures 256 MB of ECC-RAM for superlative performance. It supports DVRAID, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID
4, RAID 5, RAID 10, JBOD groups, and hot spares for flexible configuration.
◆ Enterprise-Class Hard Disks:
Sonnet uses only Enterprise/RAID edition hard drives in this array. These drives undergo strin-
gent testing for durability. The disks are tested for soft errors, vibration, and reliability prediction.
They have a higher MTBF than standard disks for enhanced reliability.
◆ Both systems feature drive presence and drive activity LED indicators on their front panels, so
drive status can be determined at a glance..
◆ Expansion Option:
Sonnet offers an innovative storage upgrade option for this array. The Fusion D400RAID Expan-
sion system, sold separately, is another four-disk chassis of drives. Adding the expansion system
to your array not only doubles storage capacity, it also gives you the increased performance of
an 8-disk system.
Desktop and Rackmountable Solutions
Sonnet’s award-winning Fusion™ D400Q desktop and R400Q rackmount
storage systems provide 2, 3, or 4TB(1) of storage in four swappable drive
modules, and four ways to connect them to a computer. They offer speed,
versatility, and reliability—they’re great solutions for anyone looking for an
affordable storage system that will fit into a variety of workflows.
Fusion D400Q and R400Q enclosures employ a high performance SATA II
port multiplier to manage the enclosed drives—just a single locking cable
connects the enclosure to a SATA host controller card. This efficient
interface simplifies
setup and cuts
cable clutter
without compromising performance. No SATA?
No problem—connected via a single FireWire 800, FireWire 400, or USB cable, all four drives can be accessed at the full
speed of the respective interface. There is no need to reformat when changing from one interface to another, regardless
the configuration.
