The CalDigit HDPro2 is the most innovative eight-drive hardware RAID solution around. Everything you need in one powerful package, ready to use right out of the box. Setup is a breeze with ultimate reliability built right in.

The HDPro2 provides stunning performance with true hardware RAID protection for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and JBOD. in RAID 5 the HDPro2 reaches sustained speeds of up to 800MB/s. The direct connect external PCIe connection is extremely fast.

The CalDigit HDPro2’s unique architecture combines the best value with the latest technology.
When you need a massive amount of storage for your HD projects, large media files, databases, photos, or audio files, the HDPro is the ideal storage solution.

With support for RAID 5, the HDPro features an advanced distributed parity algorithm. Access to data and parity blocks are spread across all 8 drives in the array. To improve the read and write performance, RAID 5 is not limited to a dedicated parity drive, like RAID 3 solutions.

When configured with RAID 6, fault tolerance is maintained by the world class CalDigit RAID engine, ensuring that the parity information is placed on TWO drives. This block of data is completely separate from the drives used to store the data itself. This allows for ultimate protection, allowing up to two drives to fail, with the loss of any data.

Offering RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD, the HDPro provides safe and reliable operation, all in one package, and backed by CalDigit's one year warranty.
