The SymplySPARK XT 4-Bay – 72TB is purpose-built for creative professionals who demand high-capacity, high-performance, and reliable storage for data-intensive workflows.
Leveraging Seagate MACH.2 multi-actuator hard drives, this desktop RAID delivers SSD-class speeds while maintaining the cost-effectiveness and capacity advantages of HDD technology.
Its robust, portable design and field-serviceable architecture make it an ideal choice for both studio and on-location use, supporting seamless ingest, editing, and backup of large media assets.
Advanced Multi-Actuator HDD Technology
Each of the four 18TB drives utilizes Seagate MACH.2 multi-actuator technology, effectively doubling the read/write performance compared to conventional HDDs.
This innovation enables the SPARK XT to achieve real-world throughput that rivals SSD-based systems, making it suitable for 4K/8K video, VFX, and high-volume data transfer tasks.
Flexible RAID Support
The system supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD configurations, allowing users to optimize for speed, redundancy, or a balance of both depending on project requirements.
Hardware RAID management ensures consistent performance and data integrity, even under demanding workloads.
Thunderbolt 3 Connectivity
Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports provide up to 40Gbps bandwidth, device charging, and daisy chaining for up to six devices.
This ensures seamless integration into modern Mac and Windows workstations, with plug-and-play simplicity and minimal setup.
Field-Serviceable and Reliable Design
All key components—including drives, power supply, and cooling fan—are user-serviceable, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance in the field or studio.
The rugged chassis, integrated carry handle, and optional impact-resistant NANUK transport case enhance portability and protection for on-location shoots.
Quiet Operation and Studio Mode
With noise levels below 40dB, the SPARK XT is suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as audio suites and edit bays.
Studio Mode allows LED blackout for distraction-free operation during critical sessions.
Comprehensive Platform Compatibility
Compatible with both macOS and Windows, the SPARK XT integrates smoothly into diverse production environments.
It is ideal for DITs, editors, colorists, and VFX artists requiring fast, reliable, and portable storage.
