Require Additional Performance or Capacity...
No Problem just add additional PRO DQg2 via the expansion port!
Take your creativity with you. Edit in the studio or edit on location. In addition to connecting the PRO DQ g2 to a Mac Pro or any desktop computers with a PCIe slot. In addition, the PRO DQ g2 is available now with an x8 expansion slot add the performacne that you need without using an extra PCIe slot on your workstation.
The Expansion port, provides an additional x8 PCIe Gen2 speed, not just double your capacity but double your performance, this translates to an additional 1010MB/s of RAID protected data rate, this is plenty fast for multiple streams of HD, and video resolutions such as ProRes, DVCPRO, HDV and others.
40Gb per second HBE
The PRO DQ g2 Gen2 Host Bus Extender (HBE) is an adapter that is installed in a desktop computer with an available PCIe x8 slot, the HBE implements the latest 40Gb/sec PCI-express Gen2 Extender technology, enabling the extension of the computer’s PCI-express signals to the PRO DQ g2 enclosure. The HBE is super fast, power efficient and runs cool. The HBE is capable of up to 8 lanes of the PCI-express Gen2 speed, enabling the RAID controller that resides inside the PRO DQ g2 enclosure to run at full speed and cool, this also reduces heat buildup that otherwise would be inside the computer.
The full metal secure locking PCI-express Extender Cable connects the HBE and PRO DQ g2 enclosure, up to 10 meters can be used for machine room connectivity.
RAID Protected
The truth is, disk drives will fail, and they will fail at just the worst time. Don’t give it a chance to ruin your day. RAID 3, 5 or 6 protection schemes are the most cost-efficient approach to insuring workflow continuation. Should a drive fail during your last render before your final tape out, don’t sweat it, the hardware RAID protection will keep your workflow going even with one or more drives down.
 RAID Management GUI
A web browser accessed RAID Console provides quick and easy RAID management. The PRO DQ comes pre-configured for Mac OS X in RAID 5 protection mode, so it might not be necessary to access the RAID Console initially. But, should you want to change the configuration or manage the disk drives, you are just a couple of clicks away from the RAID Console.
Highly configurable for single RAID or multiple RAIDs with various RAID levels are easily managed using the RAID Console management interface.
Event notification with e-mail, Event Log Views, Controller and drive temperature monitoring are but a few of the full set professional grade manager.

 Tuck Away Handles
From time to time you might need to move the PRO DQ g2 from one suite to anther, or from studio to on-location. The built-in tuck away handles located in the front and rear of the unit provides for convenient mobility.
All Metal Drive Tray
The PRO DQ g2 is built with the all metal drive tray. As the result, the drives runs cool and provides for a more efficient cooling for the entire unit, and it looks great with the collection of your high-end video gear.
