  236.  <p>Sonnet's Award-Winning Fusion F2 Now Offered With 1TB of Storage and Even<br />
  237. Faster Performance</p>
  238. <p>IRVINE, Calif. -- July 1, 2008 -- Sonnet Technologies, a leader in<br />
  239. providing local storage systems for professional users of Macintosh,<br />
  240. Windows, and UNIX systems in the film, video, and broadcast industries,<br />
  241. today announced the 1TB version of its multiple-award-winning Fusion F2<br />
  242. portable two-drive RAID SATA storage system. The fastest storage solution<br />
  243. of its kind, the enhanced Fusion F2 delivers remarkable performance with up<br />
  244. to 134 MB/sec read and write sustained data transfer rates, and is<br />
  245. bus-powered to enable its use when grid power is unavailable. The<br />
  246. diminutive system consists of two 2.5-inch drives mounted side by side in a<br />
  247. rugged aluminum enclosure just a bit larger than two stacked CD cases,<br />
  248. features two eSATA data ports for maximum data throughput, and is designed<br />
  249. for use with the Sonnet Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 controller for the<br />
  250. MacBook Pro and Windows notebooks.</p>
  251. <p>"The original 640 MB Fusion F2 storage system has been met with great<br />
  252. success due to its uncompromising performance and reliability. By offering<br />
  253. the system with increased storage and data transfer speeds in the same<br />
  254. compact, low-power package, we've taken its capabilities for film and video<br />
  255. editing applications to a new level," said Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet<br />
  256. Technologies. "Fusion F2 has found a home in the equipment cases of many<br />
  257. mobile editors."</p>
  258. <p>Fusion F2 was devised as a high-performance, high-reliability alternative<br />
  259. to existing FireWire and USB portable drive solutions. Fusion F2 transfers<br />
  260. data via two eSATA ports, but it draws power from a powered FireWire port<br />
  261. for truly portable operation. Fusion F2 handily supports portable video<br />
  262. capture in conjunction with an AJA Video Systems' Io HD, which requires<br />
  263. dedicated use of FireWire bandwidth. To protect priceless field footage,<br />
  264. Fusion F2's drives can be configured in RAID 1 mirrored mode, and still can<br />
  265. capture Apple ProRes HQ HD fed from an AJA Io HD. This protected mode also<br />
  266. allows safe field transfer of Panasonic P2, Sony SxS Pro, or similar memory<br />
  267. cards. Footage verification by a MacBook Pro/Fusion F2 system gives users<br />
  268. the peace of mind to erase and reuse cards on location.</p>
  269. <p>Each Fusion F2 drive is individually shock-isolated, not only protecting<br />
  270. the drives during transport, but also virtually eliminating cross-coupled<br />
  271. vibration -- a potential source of soft-error-induced skipped frames.<br />
  272. Fusion F2 is energy-efficient, and extremely cool and quiet. Side-by-side<br />
  273. placement of its drives increases the metal case's cooling surface area,<br />
  274. thereby eliminating the need for a fan.</p>
  275. <p>Like all Sonnet products, the 1TB Fusion F2 enjoys long-term support from a<br />
  276. company with more than two decades in the computer performance enhancement<br />
  277. business. As a provider of complete solutions, including controller cards,<br />
  278. storage chassis, and tested hard drives, Sonnet provides a single point of<br />
  279. support, thereby simplifying the purchase and maintenance of advanced<br />
  280. storage systems. </p>
  281. <p>Fusion F2 recently won the Best Storage Product award at the Macworld<br />
  282. (U.K.) Awards 2008, a NAB Best Choice Award from StudentFilmmakers<br />
  283. Magazine, and a 2008 Black Diamond Award from DV magazine. Fusion F2 with<br />
  284. 1TB of storage (part number FUS-F2-1000M5) will be available in early July<br />
  285. with a suggested price of U.S. $995. Fusion F2 with 640 MB of storage (part<br />
  286. number FUS-F2-640M5) is available now with a suggested price of $695. Tempo<br />
  287. SATA ExpressCard/34 (part # TSATAII-E342P) has a suggested retail price of<br />
  288. U.S. $99.95. </p>
