Description
Configurable with SATA or SAS hard drives.
Populated with 6TB up to 30TB Enterprise Class hard drives to achieve your desired capacity.
High Performance
The Areca ARC-8050T5U-6 RAID storage is built to deliver unprecedented performance, using only carefully, best-in-class components.
These include the dual core LSI SAS2308, 12Gb/s SAS ROC, 2GB DDR3-1866 SDRAM with ECC protection and the latest Thunderbolt5-enabled USB-C ports up to 40Gbps, dual 4K UHD external displays.
Hardware RAID Controller
At the heart of ARC-8050T5U 6-bays RAID storage is the incredibly powerful Raid-on-Chip (ROC) storage controller, giving effortless performance as desirable.
It delivers true hardware RAID function without sharing the CPU computing power on the host system and also eases off CPU loading as compared to software RAID and when rebuilding an array in the event of a drive failure.
The USB-C That Does It All
ARC-8050T5U is equipped with dual Thunderbolt 5 ports for connecting to any Thunderbolt 5 enabled host and offers an additional Thunderbolt 5 port for daisy-chaining other peripherals, while also supplying power for quick notebook charging.
Daisy Chain
Thunderbolt 5 daisy-chaining allows connection of up to 10 devices. Users can connect ARC-8050T5U for massive amounts of video storage with a single Thunderbolt connection to their host computer. Additionally, ARC-8050T5U supports a full sized DisplayPort video output connector on its rear, allowing for a quick and easy 8K 60Hz display setup.
Controller-Based H/W Encryption Engine
Host independent real-time controller-based hardware encryption does not impact the performance of ARC-8050T5U RAID storage and can implement on any kinds of HDD that is transparent to the user, the OS, and applications. Areca encryption function secures a sensitive, mission-critical volume’s data from unauthorized access or modification in the event of drive theft, as well as more routine activities such as the return of defective drives for servicing or the decommission or repurposing of drives.
Local key management in the controller is designed to protect data from security breaches with minimal cost and complexity. User can use ARC-8050T5U RAID storage API code to design its own key management utility. ARC-8050T5U RAID storages support 128- and 256-bit encryption keys using AES (a key size of 128, or 256 bits), or password (a variable key size).
LCD Display
- Instantly monitor system’s status as a glance
ARC-8050T5U-6 LCD is the primary user interface for the RAID storage.
All configuration and management of the controller and its properly connected disk arrays can be performed from this interface.
The LCD status panel informs you of the ARC-8050T5U-6 RAID storage real-time operating status at a glance so users can easily grasp the status of the system at all times.
Whisper Quiet
The intelligent cooling continuously adapts to environmental conditions by automatically controlling the speed of cooling fans. As a result, the fan reduces noise to a minimum, almost imperceptible level. Whisper-Quiet Low Sound Levels operation, make the ARC-8050T5U well suited for video/audio applications, without impacting the work environment.
- Sound Pressure Level on 6-BAY: 35.5 dB
