<p>CalDigit (<a href="http://www.caldigit.com" title="http://www.caldigit.com">http://www.caldigit.com</a>) has made some changes to the<br />
product line up and price list. A new product has been added, prices<br />
have dropped, and capacities have increased.</p>
<p>The CalDigit VR is a product that's been added to the CalDigit<br />
product line up. The VR is a combination of the FirewireVR and the<br />
S2VR Duo, but in a new and improved chassis. The CalDigit VR is a<br />
twodrive RAID system, supporting a quadruple interface (Firewire<br />
400/800, USB 2.0, and eSATA). The VR's modular design provides two<br />
hot swappable drive modules and an easy to read front LCD. With<br />
support for RAID 0, 1, and JBOD the VR can reach speeds of up to<br />
200MB/second.</p>
<p>The CalDigit RAID Card is a hardware RAID solution that supports<br />
online migration and expansion. It features an Intel XScale<br />
processor, 256MB of fixed cache and battery backup. It supports 100<br />
percent hardware RAID performance and protection for up to four<br />
internal drives and 12 externally via the HDElement (an enclosure<br />
which contains four drives). The HDElement connects directly to the<br />
CalDigit RAID Card through the mini-SAS ports on the rear of the<br />
card. </p>
<p>The CalDigit RAID card has all the technology found in the HDPro like<br />
ASTT and support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD. The more drives<br />
connected to the CalDigit RAID Card, the faster the performance. With<br />
just four drives, speeds of up to 245MB/second can be reached with<br />
RAID 5 protection, upgrade to 16 drives and the speed increases to<br />
500MB/second. The CalDigit RAID Card and HDElement are completely<br />
bootable and even Boot Camp bootable. The CalDigit HDOne is an<br />
eight-drive hardware RAID system and features an Intel XScale<br />
processor and 256MB of fixed cache. All components are modular and<br />
replaceable. The HDOne supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD and can<br />
reach sustained speeds of 440MB/second with RAID 5<br />
protection. Because the hardware RAID is built in, the HDOne can be<br />
used with the eLane-1ex, making a 100 percent hardware RAID solution<br />
for a laptop. The HDOne also uses RAID Shield, a graphical user<br />
interface that allows users to configure different RAID levels and<br />
provides event notification. </p>
<p>The CalDigit HDPro is an eight drive hardware RAID solution featuring<br />
an Intel XScale processor, 256MB of cache (upgradeable to 2GB),<br />
optional redundant hot swappable power supplies, and two hot<br />
swappable fans. It offers hardware RAID protection for RAID 0, 1, 5,<br />
6 and JBOD. In RAID 5 the HDPro reaches sustained speeds of over<br />
440MB/second thanks to ASTT technology, which was exclusively<br />
developed by CalDigit.</p>
<p>Because the hardware RAID is built in, the HDPro can be used with the<br />
eLane-1ex, making the first hardware RAID solution for a laptop, the<br />
company says. The HDPro is also SAN ready and expandable.</p>
<p>The HDPro and HDOne have a new 12TB model. Pricing has also been<br />
lowered on the HDPros with higher capacities, as have the prices of<br />
all spare hard drives.</p>
