Prime-Cache5

Cache-A is now offering our well established Prime-Cache archive appliance in an LTO-5 version with a 2TB internal disk drive. Continuing with our tradition of "Archiving Made Easy," the Prime-Cache5 employs the same software base allowing archiving by simply dropping your files onto a network share. Ease of use also comes from our presenting all user controls in a simple to understand web-based interface. And introduced with this model, you can now direct connect most kinds of mass storeage over our USB 3.0 interface which is 10 times faster than the old USB 2.0 standard.

This new model has all the physical benefits of the original Prime-Cache with its small footprint and compact enclosure as well as its low noise efficient cooling system. Prime-Cache5 has been enhanced to be more rugged and proffessional with a reinforced chassis and a new all-aluminum machined front panel.
