High Definition media production calls for high definition
storage solutions. Biscardi Creative Media is an award-
winning production company based in Atlanta, Georgia
that has collected many Emmy, Telly, Aurora and Cable
Ace Awards for excellence in high-definition broadcast/
post production.
With projects such as Food Network's popular series
"Good Eats", and "This American Land" for PBS, a pro-
duction company like this can't afford to invest in a stor-
age solution that's not reliable enough to handle an in-
creasing broadcast HD/SD post-production workload.
"With so much broadcast work and other deadline-
intensive projects, we simply cannot afford to have any
storage issues," says owner Walter Biscardi. "Is the
storage going to be there when I turn it on tomorrow?"
Biscardi Creative was using an older 2TB Fibre Channel
array that had been their workhorse for 2 years, but they
knew the time had come to expand their storage
capacity.
To address the problem, Biscardi evaluated several
SATA and FireWire 800 arrays, but "we simply could not
find a good speed in the available SATA options."
Over the course of a year, Walter and his team had pur-
chased and tested many different brands of storage so-
lutions. Unfortunately, they were running into the same
problem: too many issues with stor-
age, especially when it came to reli-
ability. As Walter found out, "Fast
speeds are nice, but when arrays dis-
appear off the desktop or just fail for
no particular reason, all the speed in
the world doesn't matter."
While Biscardi was testing new SAS/
SATA arrays, he noticed MaxxDigital
provided the ATTO ExpressSAS R380
RAID Adapter as part of the direct
attached solution for high-performance
parity protection. "In the past, I had

"We found that the ATTO ExpressSAS
R380 contributed to speeds of almost double
of what was provided by a competitor's prod-
uct. In addition, ATTO's customer support
actively assisted us throughout our testing
process. It was very smooth and easy to set
up the card and to make sure we got the high-
est speed possible for both uncompressed
and compressed HD editing," states Walter
Biscardi, owner of Biscardi Creative Media.
used ATTO Host Adapters for SCSI arrays, so I was fa-
miliar with the company." During testing, Biscardi ran
their arrays at RAID 5 to get some good protection with-
out sacrificing too much speed.
"We found that the ATTO ExpressSAS R380 contributed
to speeds of almost double of what was provided by a
competitor's product. By using the R380 RAID adapter
to directly connect the Maxx SATA RaidPro 8TB array,
we are able to obtain Write speeds of 488MB/sec. and
Read speeds of 429MB/sec. in a RAID 5 configuration

possible for both uncompressed and compressed HD

The R380 helped them achieve their solution because,
according to Biscardi, it was "the best combination of
speed and protection in RAID 5
mode."
"The marriage of the Maxx RaidPro
8TB array with the ATTO ExpressSAS
R380 offers editors the ability to
achieve multiple streams of uncom-
press HD video with RAID 5 protec-
tion. And, the stability and unbeliev-
able performance achieved with this
solution comes at an extraordinarily
inexpensive cost." states Ron Amborn
of Maxx Digital.
