Autodesk Stone Direct uses hardware RAID to provide high performance, reliability, and protection against
data loss.
The following table outlines the drive sizes and maximum number of enclosures supported by each model
of Autodesk Stone Direct XR-series storage arrays.

XR 6500 and XR 6412 arrays require a single XR RAID enclosure for 2-loop or 4-loop hardware RAID storage
configurations .
XR 5412 and XR 5402 arrays require a single XR RAID enclosure for 2-loop configurations, or two RAID
enclosures for 4-loop configurations.
These configurations may include additional XE expansion enclosures, up to the maximum number supported.
You can increase storage capacity by adding disk arrays.
A number of Stone Direct configurations will ensure optimal playback of the most demanding formats.

Connecting the HP Z800 ATTO Fibre Channel Adapter
On HP Z800 workstations or Lustre Media Servers, connections to media storage are made using the ATTO
Celerity FC84-EN fibre channel adapter, located in slot five (top to bottom).
NOTE If you need more storage connections, you can also have your HP Z800 workstation configured with a
second ATTO fibre channel adapter in slot 1, instead of the GigE adapter.
