Thunderbolt Certified, High-Performance Arrays for Demanding Data Needs

We both know you require special tools to get the job done and be your best. Whether you’re a DIT, pro video editor, VFX artist, or a colorist, you need extremely large and exceptionally fast storage in a single solution. The Accelsior SE (Special Edition) is the industry’s largest single internal NVMe SSD RAID solution available, and it will completely transform how you utilize your Mac Pro 2019-current or PC tower computer.

You’re Special. Have it All.

Up to 72TB of usable storage in RAID 0 with speeds up to 6496MB/s for seamless editing and cutting edge VFX, 8K and 360VR workflows. Perhaps you need RAID 5 data reliability for peace-of-mind or production requirements. That’s where this special storage solution really shines. You still get up to 64TB storage and up to 5546MB/s throughput. Speed. Capacity. Reliability. You truly can have it all with the Accelsior SE.

Designed For Those That Need More

Our team is filled with creatives highly experienced in all phases of the video production world. We get your need for more speed and capacity when it comes to everything from backup to editing. Accelsior SE is a Simply Elegant problem-solver for pros like you that need more from their storage:

• DITs needing to offload OCF from several media cards in parallel at maximum speeds while also having the ability to choose RAID 5 reliability for either peace-of-mind confidence or to meet production requirements.
• Professional video editors desiring a high-performance scratch disk for seamless editing experience with all their files centralized for quick accessibility.
• VFX 3D artists wanting to speed up cached simulations and image sequences processing by reducing the workload (and slowdown) placed on their computer’s processor and RAM storage.
• Colorists needing the bandwidth and capacity to effectively work with 8K sequence files or performing HDR color grading with Dolby Vision 16-bit TIFF images sequences.
• Any creative content producer seeking the highest internal drive performance from their PCIe card compatible workstation.

Using RAID 5 in the past meant giving up precious capacity and taking a big hit on performance. Accelsior SE solves that problem by offering massive amount of storage while still offering eye-popping speeds up to 5546MB/. Now you can streamline ingestion and backup times on set, edit ultra high-res multi-cam sequences, and adhere to mandatory requirements (the 3-2-1 Principle) when producing content for large studios such as Netflix.
