GMAX Star-XF5 Fibre

Our Highest Performance Striped Disk Array

Star-XF5 disk arrays feature a fast single 4G Fibre Channel interface and support the leading professional digital content creation systems - from DV to HD and everything in between.

Protects Your Content

With Star-XF5, a disk drive failure is not a catastrophic event. The system will continue to operate without loss of data and at full performance should a drive fail within the unit. This enables the completion of work in progress without requiring immediate drive replacement. To replace a drive, simply swap out the drive module and the array will automatically begin a background reconstruction. Costly downtime is eliminated since the system is fully functional during the rebuild process. Once the rebuild is completed, Star-XF5 resumes the protection of your valuable content.


Hitachi HArd Drives Star-XF5 Fibre RAID 5 series drives feature Hitachi hard drives.
