AUDIO-VIDEO
DNF has a broad range of products available for audio/video applications, from portable FireWire units, to Direct-Attached SCSI storage and high-speed, high-availability fibre solutions. In the audio/video field, speed and availability are paramount -- but units must also be reliable enough to support constant disk use. Affordable ATA storage can be leveraged with fast RAID controllers to yield excellent sequential read/write performance. The most demanding operations are served by dual active-active RAID configurations for effectively double the throughput of a single-controller system. Look through the highlighted products below -- whether you're seeking a good way to provision storage to your network of media editing stations, a blazing fast storage subsystem, or even something more mundane.

The Firefly 4800 is perfect for adding portable storage to any USB or FireWire-enabled system. With performance at FireWire line speed, it's well-suited for many creative professionals.
Input an estimate of the amount of storage you will need. Your available storage capacity will decrease depending on the RAID level you choose. Do not include hot spares in your raw storage calculation.
Input the amount of data you currently have in use. This will be used to generate an estimate on the number of disks you will need for this amount of available storage, after accounting for the RAID level.
