About Your MV 4440

Congratulations on purchasing the MV 4440 from Ciprico Inc., a leader in performance, quality, and storage for video editing and storage.

The MV 4440 contains 4 modules, called "vPODs". Each vPOD is a 10-drive array. The MV 4440 storage system utilizes the latest RAID 6 drive protection and 4Gb Fibre Channel interface technology. RAID 6 provides for two-drive-down redundancy. In an unlikely event that two drives are down in a vPOD the data is still protected and available.
