CalDigit unveils HDPro

CalDigit today unveiled its HDPro 8-bay storage solution (site not updated) with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6. The HDPro delivers up to 370MB/sec via RAID 5 and up to 400MB/sec in a RAID 0 configuration. The device offers from 2TB to 8TB of storage, and comes bundled with a host interface card as well as all the necessary accessories.
