160TB version of SymplySPARK released

MPTS

The drive promises fast, reliable, high-capacity storage at a fraction of the cost of SSDs

Symply has revealed a 160TB version of its SymplySPARK Thunderbolt 3 Shuttle RAID storage.

Launched last year as part of the SymplyFIRST product range (which the company says centres on “highest quality at affordable prices”), SymplySPARK was previously limited to 144TB.

According to Symply, SymplySPARK provides “fast, reliable, high-capacity storage at a fraction of the cost of SSDs.”

The SymplySPARK works at speeds up to 1,800MB/s at RAID 5, which is fast enough for 4K and 8K+ workloads and visual effects.

The cooling noise is less than 45 dB and the drive also has a ‘lights out mode’ to offer a distraction-free editing environment.

The drives, the fan and power supply units can also all be swapped out without needing to send the device back to base.

Keith Warburton, CEO of Symply, said: “As file sizes continue to increase and even more data is created daily, content creators and production companies risk getting left behind in their storage infrastructure. It’s important to keep evolving product lines to provide solutions to the capacity challenges faced on location and in the studio.”

SymplySPARK 160TB is available now.

  • The atmosphere at MPTS has been amazing this year. MPTS is definitely one of the industry’s most diverse shows, if not the most diverse, both in terms of attendees and panelists. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
