Designed as a disk drive for editing movies 4K and 8K, the new series of SSD Professional Fixstars aim is high with several SSD from the incredible capacity that can reach well 13 TB.
Many will have experienced the hard way what it means to have to deal with a video editing even movies 1,920×1,080 pixels, not just trying to do something a little articulated. It takes nothing to undermine the machine on which you are working, especially if you need a preview faithful without having to render every time, an operation that can steal hours spent doing other or to fix the monitor (in the case of most expectations short).
Well, you can imagine what can happen when movies are sources to 4K or even worse 8K. It is not just a matter of general heaviness, but also quantities of RAM and impressive speed on the front adequate storage, not to mention the capacity because the GB flow here and there as if nothing happened.
The SSDs are well suited to these difficult tasks, but have the disadvantage of not being too roomy. Working with raw video files to 8K means saturating SSD by 1 TB, readily commercially available, in a very short time.
Born for this storage needs of single disk, together with adequate performance, the new series of SSD Fixstars SS-13000m (here the official website), which uses the format 2.5-inch SATA 6 Gbps interface, ensuring a transfer rate of 520/530 MB per second read and write, more than suitable to the needs that aims to satisfy.
The real advantage over other units is in capacity; the base model is a 3 TB (chip 19nm MLC) with 9.5 mm thickness, then climbing up to 6 TB, 10 TB and 13 TB well for the top model. For all models, the warranty is three years, while on the controller are referred to a proprietary solution unidentified.
Model 6 TB up to the chips used are of 15nm MLC, while the thickness of the unit rises to 15 mm, double the normal consumer SSDs. This means that the notebook does not come, but they are quite suitable for desktop solutions that are used in almost all cases for video editing at high levels.
They do not know the prices, because the appropriate heading Fixstars invites potential customers to contact the company. Some online sources speak of something like $ 13,000 for the 13 TB, but we are obviously faced with data reported that we had no way to verify.
