Fast Protected Storage
The PRO Qxc is the fastest in its class, the high-performance RAID controller uses the Intel IOP333 RAID processor producing reliable data protection and exceptional data throughput. Your creative content are well protected and your workflow moves along smoothly.
The PRO Qxc comes fully populated with 4 hot swappable high performance 3.5” 7200 RPM SATA disk drives, running in RAID 5 protected mode, the PRO Qxc can pump out over 300 MB/s sustained, more than enough for the demands of creative professional working in the highest video resolutions. Want to run faster? Configure the RAID engine to RAID 0 mode and the PRO Qxc will deliver at over 400 MB/s. Check out all the performance spec at the bottom of this page.
PCIe Hardware RAID Controller
The PRO Qxc comes with a PCIe Hardware RAID Controller that is installed in the host computer with an available PCIe slot. This hardware RAID controller implements a reliable PCI-express RAID controller technology for desktop computers. The PCIe RAID controller is installed in the host computer for a cost reduced option over the PRO Q. The PRO Qxc still offers the same high performance and redundancy of the PRO Q.
The full metal secure locking mini SAS Cable connects the hardware RAID controller to the PRO Qxc enclosure. The PRO Qxc comes with a 1 meter cable. The PRO Qxc has a 2 meter optional cable as well.
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 or 5 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 Qxc 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.

 All Metal Drive Tray
The PRO Qxc 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.
Real-time Multiple Steams
 The PRO Qxc is designed to handle the demands of a fast paced workflow without any delays due to technical or performance issues. The performance map to the right shows the full capability of the PRO Qxc from empty to full in RAID 0 and protected mode RAID 5. The graph shows us that even if the PRO Qxc gets full, there is still plenty of headroom to ensure your workflow and timeline runs smoothly and without any dropped frames.
