Autodesk Stone Direct uses hardware RAID to provide high performance, reliability, and protection against data loss.

The following table outlines the drive sizes and maximum number of enclosures supported by each model of Autodesk Stone Direct XR-series storage arrays.

Storage model	Max number of XE enclosures per	Disk size
	XR enclosure
XR 5402	4	146GB
XR 5412	4	146 GB or 300 GB
XR 6412	7	300 GB or 450 GB
XR 6500	7	450 GB

XR 6500 and XR 6412 arrays require a single XR RAID enclosure for 2-loop or 4-loop hardware RAID storage configurations .

XR 5412 and XR 5402 arrays require a single XR RAID enclosure for 2-loop configurations, or two RAID enclosures for 4-loop configurations.

These configurations may include additional XE expansion enclosures, up to the maximum number supported. You can increase storage capacity by adding disk arrays.

A number of Stone Direct configurations will ensure optimal playback of the most demanding formats.

Storage Configuration	Loops	Expected Peformance
Stone Direct XR	One 2-loop connection	■ One stream SD/HD 10-bit (32 chan-
		nel/8-bits per channel audio), or

Stone Direct XR plus Stone Direct	Two 2-loop connections (if permitted by
XE	chassis)
	– or –
	One 2-loop connection

■One stream 2K 12-bit unpacked (8 channel/8-bits per channel audio)

■Two streams SD/HD 10-bit (32 chan- nel/8-bits per channel audio), or

■One stream 2K 12-bit unpacked (8 channel/8-bits per channel audio)

2 x Stone Direct XR	Two 2-loop connections (one per enclos-
	ure)

■Two streams SD/HD 10-bit (32 chan- nel/8-bits per channel audio), or

■One stream 2K 12-bit unpacked (8 channel/8-bits per channel audio)

Connecting the HP Z800 ATTO Fibre Channel Adapter

On HP Z800 workstations or Lustre Media Servers, connections to media storage are made using the ATTO Celerity FC84-EN fibre channel adapter, located in slot five (top to bottom).

NOTE If you need more storage connections, you can also have your HP Z800 workstation configured with a second ATTO fibre channel adapter in slot 1, instead of the GigE adapter.
