  Photographers needing photo library storage prefer our Burly Port Multiplier Enclosures which provide excellent expandability providing the ability to add more storage as needed. Archiving rarely accessed photos is easily accomplished using the hot swap trays which totally enclose the drive protecting it and allowing safe storage offline. Video capture and editing are well suited to the Burly PM Enclosures as well with their huge capacity for drives and wicked I/O performance. Each four port Host Card can support up to 20 hard drives providing up to 20 Terabytes of video storage. Many HD video editors use the Burly PM Enclosures as a working array and backup array. Simply stripe (RAID 0) a pair of five bay Port Multiplier Enclosures for up to 10 Terabytes of 450 MB/s I/O and stripe (RAID 0) a second pair for a full speed backup array. All this can be accomplished with the installation of a single Port Multiplier capable Host Card. Editors working with SD find this system useful because they can combine drives and enclosures as needed to build the system up to the volume and performance threshold required for different projects. Port Multiplier technology has revolutionized video storage! These PM Enclosures are our most popular product line.

  IT Professionals will appreciate our line of 3ware RAID and SAS Controllers providing excellent RAID 5 and RAID 6 performance, dependability and failure tolerance. Match this with our Burly line of SATA Enclosures, Rack Mounts or Multilane Enclosures and you have the makings of an excellent data storage system. The 3ware SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) RAID Controller cards are now available and provide a robust storage platform using SAS and SATA drives alike in the same system. Use SAS drives for front line storage with low latency and peak performance and use the larger and less costly SATA drives on the same system as a backup. It's the best of both worlds. By installing expanders a host card provides nearly unlimited storage capabilities. Another benefit to the SAS system is it's multiple data paths providing enhanced system reliability.

  All Burly brand enclosures are designed with data security and drive longevity in mind. Each enclosure has a high quality built in power supply and excellent cooling. These are the two most important attributes an enclosure can provide. An enclosure without active cooling or an adequate power supply puts your data at risk of a drive failure. If you rely on your data don't look for the cheapest way out, you'll get bit.
