Turnkey Shared Storage Combining HDD & SDD for High End Post Production

This product isn't just built for high end post production or broadcasters, it is the ideal storage platform for anybody interested in high performance NAS combined with large capacities at an amazing price point. 

The FastNAS F-8 is an exciting new concept in shared storage - A high performance compact unit with unique hybrid technology powered by GB Labs' Core 3 OS Lite. This includes the engine and key modules from the cutting edge Core 3 OS that runs the GB Labs Space, Echo and Vault product ranges. 

The compact and powerful F-8 stands head and shoulders above the competition, delivering performance way beyond its 8 disk configuration, thanks to the revolutionary Nitro hybrid boost technology and GB Labs unique Velocity RAID Engine (VRE). The combined performance of the F8 is up to 1500MB/Sec and the stream performance is way beyond anything in its class. 

GB Labs' Velocity RAID Engine (VRE) is optimised for AV usage and low latency response and is at the heart of the FastNAS experience. This technology is unique to GB Labs and offers superb performance, using minimal system resources and offering lightening performance. 

Further performance comes with GB Labs' Nitro boost technology. Nitro is GB Labs' intelligent hybrid disk technology, developed by the team that brought you the award winning HyperSpace Solid State Accelerator. This is not just cache and this is not a general purpose hybrid. Nitro is specifically designed for real world usage and brings dramatic enhancement to collaborative media workflows, offering close to a pure SSD experience for creative users.
