ADS Technologies Announces PYRO FireWire Raid 0 and ATA/100 Solutions.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers Macworld San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden 2001 Booth 4150 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 2001 ADS Technologies Inc., a leader in FireWire technology, today announced two high-speed FireWire storage solutions for the Mac. The latest additions to the PYRO product line are the PYRO FireWire ATA/100 Drive Kit, the industry's first ATA/100-compliant FireWire storage device, and the PYRO FireWire Mac Video RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks - Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks ). The PYRO FireWire Mac Video RAID is designed as an inexpensive solution for professional as well as consumer digital video editing See nonlinear video editing and video editor. and storage, and also meets the data-intensive demands of most multimedia applications. Both are on display at MacWorld Expo 2001, Jan. 9-12, at the Moscone Center The Moscone Center is San Francisco, California's largest convention and exhibition complex. The complex consists of two main underground halls underneath Yerba Buena Gardens, Moscone North and Moscone South, as well the three-level Moscone West exhibition hall across 4th Street. North Hall, Booth 4150. PYRO FireWire Mac Video RAID The PYRO FireWire Mac Video RAID array is a compact tower that supports two drives that can be used for storage and data transfer. Each bay features a new Oxford Semiconductor ATA-to-FireWire bridge, the first to support ATA/100 drives and provide enough throughput to take advantage of FireWire bandwidth. IDE (1) (Integrated Development Environment) A set of programs run from a single user interface. For example, programming languages often include a text editor, compiler and debugger, which are all activated and function from a common menu. hard drives can be installed into the bays, and users can build a striped RAID 0 with the bundled RAID software, which provides a significant boost in performance and speed of the drives. The PYRO FireWire Mac Video RAID efficiently and rapidly transfers data and is typically used for capturing large digital video files in real time. By using a RAID solution for DV, video transfer rates can be increased while rendering time can be reduced, an important feature when creating and producing high-quality videos with sophisticated effects. Compact in size, the PYRO FireWire Mac Video RAID is portable, which means powerful digital video editing is not limited to expensive production facilities, enabling producers to create high-quality projects inexpensively and quickly. PYRO FireWire ATA/100 Drive Kit The PYRO FireWire ATA/100 Drive Kit is an external enclosure also featuring the Oxford Semiconductor native bridge. The PYRO FireWire ATA/100 Drive Kit supports one hard drive and is an ideal solution for digital video editing and storage. With sustained data transfer rates of 45 MB/s, video can be edited and rendered without dropped frames, which is a possibility with FireWire ATA/66 or ATA/33 drives.
