Heck, that’s a bargain compared to what an Avid 9GB drive cost when it came out.

Can you imagine what five of them in a RAID 0 TBolt box would do. Crazy speed for crazy money.

mmm… R-Mags. I replaced a drive in one once, mainly because they didn’t make them anymore at the time and reconditioned units were about a billion dollars. The actual drive was literally the size, and close to the weight, of a brick. 🙂 Fun! But hey, the technology was good enough for B-52 Bombers (or something like that…) so…

In a crazy form factor.
A 5TB TBolt to usb3 hub that fits in the palm of your hand good enough for a multicam or single stream uncompressed HD online.
You could probably be fine with a 422 multicam on just one of them.
Weird.

I had a 64GB tower that was the first shared tower for multiple editors. It took two of us to carry it up the stairs it weighed so much.

It was a big deal when promax started selling SCSI enclosures where you could swap the drives.
We could actually load drive sets for different jobs and move the drives to different rooms.
It was a revelation.
And then firewire drives came along and killed it all.
