Dulce Pro RXqp
Up to 32TB's of removable RAID storage


The Dulce Pro RXqp provides an extremely fast and flexible portable storage solution. Using a modular design each chassis can house up to four Quad Packs providing 32TB's of storage.

The Quad Packs allow you to hot swap large blocks of data from one system to another. Coupled with the high data rates this provides an ideal solution for moving data from site to site.

The Pro RX uses a PCI-Express connection direct to the host system allowing the hardware RAID to operate at full speed providing excellent performance in all configurations.

Each Quad Pack (QP) houses four SATA hard drives giving a current maximum of 8TB's per unit. Quad Packs can be configured individually or as part of a larger volume. This allows for many different  configurations. For example you could have two QP's configured as a RAID6 for your main storage,  additional QP's configured in RAID5 can be used for backup or transporting data from one system to another. Organise clients or projects onto individual QP's for instant easy management and archiving.
