USA: Sonnet Technologies, a leader in providing local storage systems for professional users in the film, video, and broadcast industries, announced a price reduction for the company’s award-winning Fusion F2 portable RAID storage system.

Fusion F2 provides exceptional speed, proven reliability, and 640GB capacity in a rugged low-profile design measuring 5.9 by 6.2 by 0.72 inches. It is now available for US$695, a price drop of US$200. The Sonnet Fusion F2 is an ideal fit for flexible, cost-effective on-location video capture or remote use when grid power is unavailable.

Sonnet’s Fusion F2 features two 320GB/5400 rpm 2.5-inch drives, mounted side by side in a rugged ¾-inch-thin aluminum enclosure that fits easily into a briefcase or camera bag. Each drive is individually shock-isolated to protect against cross-coupled vibration and ensure secure storage. Side-by-side placement of the drives increases the metal case’s cooling surface area, thereby eliminating the need for a fan.

“Fusion F2 is a one-of-kind storage solution for professional content creation and editing, and in the short time the system has been on the market, it has made a tremendous impact on how media is stored and edited,” said Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet Technologies.

“The Fusion F2 offers an unprecedented combination of speed and convenience in a durable low-power package that’s easy to transport and can be used in virtually any environment. Through this price reduction, we hope to make the unique benefits of the system accessible to a broader base of media professionals,” Farnsworth added.
