RAID Card
The latest Mac and PC hardware and software deliver a lot of capability, including the option of building a software RAID. The problem with this is not only does a software RAID use your computer's processing power, but if your operating system crashes, the software RAID goes with it — along with your media. CalDigit's hardware RAID Card, launched at MacWorld 2008, solves that with its dedicated Intel processor and 256MB of built-in cache memory. This frees up the CPU on Mac, PC, or Linux systems (the card requires a PCIe slot), while protecting your edits. The card supports up to 16TB of external storage. Meanwhile, the RAID Shield graphics interface simplifies setup.
