INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction

This section presents a brief overview of the 6Gb/s SAS RAID storage,

ARC-8050T2. (Thunderbolt 2 to 6Gb/s SAS RAID storage)

1.1 Overview

Unleash Your Creativity Faster Than Ever

Thunderbolt 2 is full backward compatibility to the same cables

and connectors used with today’s Thunderbolt. It pushes speed to

20Gb/s and enables 4K video le transfer and display simultane-

ously. ARC-8050T2 is equipped with dual Thunderbolt 2 ports for

connecting to any Thunderbolt 2-enabled host such as the new Mac

Pro, and offers an additional Thunderbolt 2 port for daisy-chaining

other peripherals. The Thunderbolt daisy-chaining allows connec-

tion of up to six devices, so customers can connect ARC-8050T2

for massive amounts of video storage with a single Thunderbolt

connection to their host computer. ARC-8050T2 can meet the de-

mand of users when working with rich, ultra- high resolution media

through Thunderbolt 2 interface.

Unparalleled Performance for 4K Workow

ARC-8050T2 is the most complete 6Gb/s SAS 8-bay Thunderbolt

2 box with RAID control capabilities solution for both PC and Mac.

ARC-8050T2 incorporated on-board dual core 800Mhz RAID-On-

Chip and with 1GB DDR3-1333 memory to deliver true high perfor-

mance hardware RAID protection against drive failure.This combi-

nation helps to provide a high performance storage device perfect

for the video editor working with Real time multi-stream HD and 4K

workows. It runs efciently without disruption or major drops in

performance to meet the requirements of 4K data workow. It is so

quick it allows for 4K displays at the same time as daisy chaining

ARC-8050T2 and doing a simultaneous 4K output and le transfers

while maintaining maximum throughput.

INTRODUCTION

Enterprise-class Data Availability and Security

ARC-8050T2 supports the hardware RAID 6 engine to allow two

HDDs failures without impact the existing data and performance.

It allows users to hot swap drive in the event of a drive failure

with zero downtime. Its high data availability and protection de-

rives from many advanced RAID features on ARC-8050T2 RAID

box design. Intelligent power On/Off function on storage turns

power in unison with the host computer power status. It can intel-

ligently power down the unit after the thunderbolt host shuts down

everything for data integrity. ARC-8050T2 also supports a battery

backup option that protects all data in cache memory in the event

of unexpected power outage. Board-level hardware encryption

manages any kinds of drives attached to ARC-8050T2 without im-

pacting the performance for higher levels of security.

Enabling an Easy-to-Manage Storage

Conguration and monitoring can be managed either through the

LCD control panel, Thunderbolt interface or LAN port. The intel-

ligent cooling continuously adapts to environmental conditions by

automatically controlling the speed of the cooling fans for the rap-

idly growing demand from the video editing markets. You can even

congure ARC-8050T2 to intelligently spin down drives during

periods of inactivity to further reduce noise and save energy. Areca

solution of Thunderbolt 2 provides user the capability of adding

bootable drive via Thunderbolt on Apple thunderbolt-capable ma-

chine.
