Medea VideoRaid 10/2000 FCR2X

It’s a fact: high-resolution video requires a lot of space and very fast hard drive systems. Yet the fastest transfer speeds require fibre channel arrays, which initially were astronomically expensive. Medea, however, offers a solution to this problem with the VideoRaid 10/2000 FCR2X, an $7,799 fibre channel-based hard drive array that provides ultra-fast data transfer speeds.
