Medea - Manufacturers of Raid Storage Devices with Uncomparable Price for Performance Ratios!

Medéa Corporation is the first manufacturer of internal and external RAID solutions optimized for desktop video editing applications and is dedicated to providing low-cost, high-performance storage solutions for Wintel, Macintosh and SGI computers.

Unlike competing disk arrays (or drive stripe sets) that suffer a 40% drop in data rate as they fill with video, VideoRaid sustains its high data rates from the first GB of storage to the last GB thanks to proprietary Zone Stripe Technology (ZST). By averaging the data rate between the outside tracks and the inside tracks of the disks in VideoRaid, Medéa's proprietary ZST overcomes this phenomenon and assures a sustained high data transfer rate regardless of how much video is stored on VideoRaid.
