Introduction of Shareable Thunderbolt RAID System

1.1 Overview
1.1.1 What is Shareable Thunderbolt RAID System
Accusys has leveraged its years of experience as a PCIe SAN designer and high performance
transmission technology provider in the video post-production industry, and created the all-in-
one A12T3-Share Thunderbolt shareable storage solution, which takes the original peer to peer
Thunderbolt interface and transforms it into a more flexible Thunderbolt storage network well
suited for Media and Entertainment budgets and workflows. The advanced technology and
innovative thinking will eliminate the high cost of Fibre Channel SAN or 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
The A12T3-Share is equipped with the functionality of a complete SAN solution within a single
Thunderbolt storage device, the high performance of Thunderbolt 3 without any protocol
conversion latency, and the reliability derived from an independent hardware RAID system. The
A12T3-Share has four Thunderbolt 3 ports and one PCIe 3.0 port, which allows a maximum of
five hosts to access the storage directly. With the full performance of Thunderbolt 3 in a shared
storage environment, A12T3-Share will be the perfect storage solution for the burgeoning 4K
video market.
