Description: The system tested was a BOXX RTX workstation configured optimally for Assimilate
Scratch. The BOXX RTX features an internal SATA/SAS storage subsystem containing up to 14 drives
and leading-edge RAID controller technology. The system can deliver well over 1GB/s in certain
configurations for support of 4K playback. The performance numbers below are achieved using a 10-drive SATA RAID5 configuration and easily support uncompressed HD and 2K playback.

Description: The configuration used a HP XW9300 workstation suitable for running SCRATCH. The workstation used one PCI-e quad port 4 Gb Fibre Channel adaptor and one dual port 4 Gb Fibre Channel adaptor (both by ATTO Technology) to attach to the three dual ported Huge Media Vault 4210 ATA to Fibre Channel storage enclosures. Each enclosure contained 10 drives arranged as 5 drives per LUN. Each of the six LUNs represents a RAID 3 stripe-set of disks. These six LUNs were then striped into one RAID 0 array under Windows XP.
