The CalDigit HDPro's unique architecture combines the best in value with the newest technology. The HDPro is compatible with MacPro, G5, G4, Mac OS X Server, Windows, Linux workstations, and other platforms as well.
High Speed, Low Cost, Virtually Unlimited Capacity
The CalDigit HDPro offers the best gigabyte-per-dollar ratio in the world for RAID storage. The HDPro is a high-performance storage solution with capacities from 2.0TB to 8.0TB. At under $2 per gigabyte including PCI-e Card and all accessories - it is a fraction of the cost compared to other products in its class.
The CalDigit HDPro features SATA 3Gb/s and up to 32MB cache drives for the speed to meet the demands of the most up-to-date video & content editing software. Each 7200-RPM SATA hard drive connects to a dedicated SATA channel to eliminate bottlenecks and maximize the 3Gb/s native SATA connection. With up to PCIe 8-lane interface to the host, each lane can reach up to 250MB/s. This in turn means that as you add drives, the HDPro scales in both capacity and performance. This powerhouse delivers up to 400MB/s in RAID 5.
The HDPro not only provides a sustained data rate, but also has the fastest speed in its class yet! The graphs show how well the HDPro is able to handle a real life scenario. One will obtain great results, sustained speeds, and no dropped frames.
Other RAID storage products in the marketplace can playback 10-bit 1080i uncompressed HD footage, but one will most likely experience frame dropping after just 2-3 minutes of playback. The HDPro is a true editing solution that maintains its data rates during editing and playback without dropping frames!
Each HDPro holds up to 8 drive modules in a Tower or 2U affordable rack mount package. The swappable functionality of the HDPro allows users to upgrade the drive capacity as needed, while remaining very simple to configure and set up. There is no capacity limitation to any single chassis

24 / 7 / 365
24 hours a day/ 7 days a week/ 365 days a year, the CalDigit HDPro is designed for nonstop operation with uninterrupted access to your critical data. All active components are modular design and can be replaced quickly with a minimum amount of downtime.
The HDPro uses load-balancing power management to spread the workload between two power supplies for optimal power consumption. The load balancing method manages the selection of an appropriate power supply. This enables the HDPro to continue working in the event of one power supply failure.
Redundant hot-swappable power supplies (Optional for HDPro Tower), fan, and drive modules enable the system to keep running even if one module fails. All active components are modular and designed to be switched in and out in seconds - No tools needed, no interruption of service.
Active Sustained Transfer Technology (ASTT©)
With CalDigit's uniquely engineered Active Sustained Transfer Technology (ASTT©), the performance of your HDPro is always kept in check. Highs (or peaks) & lows (or drops) during the data transferring are equalized by ASTT.
ASTT optimizes the best transfer size and timing between RAID controller cache and the host machine. This eliminates performance drops and maximizes the sustained data rate. ASTT technology also helps to maintain a continuously smooth transfer rate over the whole capacity of the RAID.
Safe, Reliable storage
When you need large storage for your HD projects, large media files, database, photos, and/or images - the HDPro is your best storage solution.
With single parity in RAID 5 mode, the HDPro features an advanced distributed parity algorithm. This accesses data and parity blocks across all drives in the disk array. To improve the write and read performance, RAID 5 removes the limitation that the dedicated parity drive represents in RAID 3.
When configured in RAID 6 mode, fault tolerance is maintained by the world class CalDigit RAID engine ensuring that the parity information for any given block of data is placed on TWO drives separate from those used to store the data itself. Such double protection is to protect your valuable data even if two drives fail.
Offering RAID 0, 1, 5, or 6, you will have a safe and reliable operation all in one package warranted for 3 years by CalDigit Inc.
