NEW PRODUCT ALERT: Iodyne Pro Data – World Fastest Thunderbolt RAID
By Jennifer P
Iodyne Pro Data
iodyne Pro Data is a multi-user Thunderbolt connected RAID that can be deployed across every part of the production process, delivering time savings, security, and efficiency from capture through post. Storage designed for outstanding performance and utility, and purpose-built for people who demand the most resilient protection for their digital assets.
Available in 3 Sizes, 3 Colors
REINVENTING Pro Storage
For the past decade, Pros have been forced to choose between small, fast internal or external SSDs, or big, slow and bulky hard-disk RAID arrays. Not any longer.
Often, the most complex projects require both types of storage combined in a single configuration, along with Cloud services and backups. Pro Data is the first all-NVMe all-SSD Thunderbolt RAID device that combines multiple SSDs and multiple Thunderbolt port pairs in a single elegant form factor. Store all of your active project’s assets on a single device, protected by RAID-6 and Encryption. Connect multiple computers in a workgroup or ultimate desktop or DIT cart configuration. Pro Data will redefine your next setup, or supercharge your current one.
This device is effectively plug and play. Unlike a NAS or SAN, there’s no IT department or IP configuration required. Plug in power, connect via Thunderbolt, and start working.
REDEFINING Pro Performance
With twelve lightning-fast NVMe SSDs, a 64GB/s PCI Express Fabric, 8 Thunderbolt ports, and incredible technology running on a System-on-a-Chip, Pro Data redefines Thunderbolt storage performance. For the first time, multiple Thunderbolt ports can be transparently combined to accelerate an NVMe Express storage workload. Pro Data is the fastest Thunderbolt storage, and works with any Thunderbolt-capable computer.
Inside Pro Data
Pro Data’s sleek form factor provides active cooling to prevent thermal performance throttling while remaining whisper-quiet, even during challenging or sustained workloads. An innovative Design for Repair ensures your right-to-repair while protecting the long-term integrity of your most valuable data assets.
RETHINKING Pro Versatility
Through iodyne’s intuitive and powerful design, all twelve NVMe SSDs are combined in a single storage pool sharing data and parity space. Create containers to keep projects and tasks organized and protected with configurable RAID levels.
Containers
Create Transactional RAID-6 containers for your critical work and backups, or RAID-0 Scratch containers to streamline access to your app’s temp files. Containers provide storage for your computer’s filesystems, like APFS. And so all the apps in your workflow immediately work with Pro Data: just point them to the right directory. Pro Data’s Dynamic Striping transparently and intelligently distributes data and parity across all of your device’s SSDs, and adapts automatically when an SSD module is ready to be replaced.
Storage Handoff
With multiple containers keeping everything sorted, up to four computers can connect simultaneously to the same Pro Data and use Storage Handoff to distribute workflow tasks. Sharing data among teammates is now a single click away, and you’ll wonder how you collaborated before without it. You can even Handoff containers between M1 and Intel Macs for the ultimate developer setup!
REINFORCING Pro Reliability
All customer data stored in Pro Data is encrypted at rest with strong AES-XTS-256 encryption, ensuring that your assets cannot be stolen if lost. Keys are stored in a hardware Secure Enclave, and protected by passwords kept in your Keychain.
SSD Lifetime
Pro Data’s Transactional RAID transparently distributes user data and parity over all twelve NVMe SSDs with minimal Write Amplication, delivering 10x the lifetime of a standard SSD. Unlike an external SSD, Pro Data’s performance provides sustained throughput across hours of the most intense workloads, without degradation.
SSD Management
Keep track of the status of your Pro Data with our beautiful, elegant and simple native Mac app. Pro Data automatically monitors the health and lifespan of all internal SSDs, and connects with iodyne Cloud to order replacement SSDs over the device lifetime.
Container Passwords
Add a per-Container password to restrict access to particular users or computers in a workgroup. Share common device password across multiple containers for desktop setups.
