Compare Haven to enterprise DAS options

Blazing speed via Thunderbolt 5™.
Far surpassing 10GbE networking speeds, Haven also provides 80Gb/s Thunderbolt 5™ connectivity, making your audio projects so fast it feels like using a local disk.
Competitive throughput.
Storage space is one thing, throughput is another. You can't have stuttering sessions. Haven is among the top performing storage options available today, even supporting 4K/8K video workflows.
True usable storage.
Many products advertise raw storage amounts, but what you get is typically much less. With Haven, we advertise default, RAID-ready redundant usable storage. No bait and switch here.

Spec'ed storage size

Since each product offers multiple storage options, we specified the ones that come closest to a comparable Haven size.

We also use the advertised size given by each company here, not the usable storage size.

Usable storage

Many products advertise their storage sizes as raw amounts, not actually usable storage, when you add in important features like drive-failure redundancy. This row shows actual usable storage in each porduct's default configuration.

Most products, including Haven, allow you to increase the failed-drive redundancy, but at a lower usable storage amount.

Redundancy

This shows the number of storage drives that can fail without losing data in the product's default configuration.

Most products, including Haven, allow you to increase the failed-disk redundancy, but at a lower usable storage amount.
