We are often surprised when a company manages to improve a device that has only one function and has been practically the same for a long time, mainly by offering a product that significantly expands the capabilities of normal models. In this case, ORICO has presented the Data Matrix, a system of storage of hybrid data which allows you to manage any type of information as quickly as possible.
Many of the storage systems we currently have offer a series of solutions based on hard drives that allow us to save a large number of files, although the biggest problem is when we want to store something that weighs too much, since it can take a long time. It is time to copy from one system to another due to the speed offered by hard drives. In this case, ORICO wants to change the way these types of systems work, allowing users to process their data directly from the Data Matrix and then store it in large units.
A very different storage system, completely changes the way data is saved
When we think about the storage of data, we can always come to the head of the NAS tips that allow us to hold all the information that we want to store in a secure location, but we can also find it with a large defect, the speed that we need to keep at the time of processing. the information. In this aspect, the Data Matrix completely changes the operation of this type of device, since it mixes an M.2 SSD system that can be 1 TB or 2 TB, as well as a series of large WD Red hard drives of custom size. .
According to what they indicate, this allows anyone, such as content creators or video editing specialists, to connect their computer to the Data Matrix through a port with a speed of 40 Gbps, acting as if it were an external hard drive to store and use any type of data in real time. To do this, it integrates, as we have mentioned, an M.2 SSD that has several variants, a 1 TB model with 1500 MB / s, another 2 TB model with this same speed and another that offers 2 TB with 3000 MB / s. of speed.
But the strong point is that we do not want to store the data on this SSD since it is really designed to be used in production (when editing or modifying files), but rather it is attached to a series of large HDD disks, which we can find from 5 TB to 112 TB. In this way, once we have finished with a file, we can save it on one of these disks while we continue working with the next one, having the added advantage of being able to create a RAID system or similar to have a series of backups. copies in case something happens.
The price may be a bit excessive
As always, the biggest problem one may encounter when purchasing a new product is its price, and that is that system of hybrid storage It has a rather particular price, knowing that it is also a device financed via Kickstarter. On the project’s funding page itself, it is indicated that there are a series of discounts to contribute to the project before it is an official purchase, the first model goes from $ 1,000 to $ 600, while the most expensive goes from $ 12,000 to $ 600. $ 5,000.
The rest of the versions that offer smaller capacities are between these two prices, between $600 and $5,000 with the “early-bird” offer, while the initial price, according to the page, would be between $1,000 and $12,000 depending on the model.
