Frees up FireWire Ports - Perfect for Video Professionals
In most PC's or Mac's, without the addition of a PCI or PCIMCA card, the FireWire ports share the same bus and split the bandwidth between all connected peripherals. The S2VR utilizes the SATA 3Gb/s port on the FASTA adapter freeing up the FireWire ports allowing connection of other peripherals such as the AJA Io LA, LD, DV Camcorders, etc to have the full bandwidth.
Modular Design
The S2VR's drives, fan and power supply are designed to be swappable. Our modular design allows the fan and drives, which can potentially fail, to be easily and quickly hot swapped reducing downtime on time-critical projects.
