BrightDrive TxP (Transportable) is a high speed, high capacity, low cost server and portable drive system. With the ability to hold and offload high data volumes, including full-length motion pictures, at speeds up to 20 times greater than standard Firewire, BrightDrive TxP brings major cost savings to digital workflows by dramatically cutting media transfer times.




BrightDrive TxP uses industry standard hardware with Bright Systems' BrightDrive advanced disk recording technology. The system provides significant advantages over film, tape, and Firewire drives, including the ability to transfer media at real-time 2k, or 300 MB per second. This means, for example, that a 2-hour motion picture can be backed off or uploaded in approximately 2 hours instead of the long times required by Firewire-based devices.

In addition to offering fast download speeds, BrightDrive TxP uses Bright's Data Integrity technology to perform automatic checking and verification of the data set at the final destination to ensure end-to-end integrity. It also minimizes time spent 'transporting' data between disparate systems when ingesting and offloading.

Each TxP chassis holds up to 4 Transportable drive packs each with a 2.25TB capacity, enabling users to ingest or offload up to 2 full-length motion pictures at a time. The system has a compact, high-tech construction with the drives specifically designed to ensure media can be shipped in a safe and secure environment between remote locations.
