SiForce A – starting at $8,295 USD
Introducing the SiForce A – a robust and powerful workstation featuring AMD’s Threadripper CPU for multi-core processing. This workstation features superior data processing speeds with next-generation PCIe 4.0 support.
Features:
- PCIe 4.0. The SiForce A utilizes a PCIe 4.0 interface. PCIe 4.0 effectively doubles the bandwidth and transfer speed of the previous PCIe 3.0 interface. Maximize the performance of your NVMe SSDs with blazing fast transfer rates.
- NVMe SSDs. Unlock the potential of solid state drives with NVMe SSDs. NVMe SSDs offer 5x the performance of SATA SSDs and 25x the performance of HDDs. While SATA SSD speeds are capped around 560 MB/s, NVMe SSDs can reach speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s on PCIe 3.0 and 7,000 MB/s on PCIe 4.0.
- RAID 0. Scale your data processing performance with a RAID 0 configuration. In a RAID 0 configuration, data is divided into “blocks” and written across multiple drives through multiple lanes, scaling your read/write performance with the number of drives in your RAID.
- System Air Cooling. The SiForce A workstation is cooled by 2 x 200mm case fans. These fans work quietly to move large volumes of air at a lower RPM.
- CPU Air Cooling. This system features a robust CPU air cooler capable of maintaining optimal temperatures for high TDP CPUs. The heatsink is fitted with a large 120mm fan for quiet operation at peak performance. This allows for powerful, long-term cooling without the risk of leakage.
- Backup HDD. A backup HDD is included in the hot-swap drive bays for easily removing and transferring case data.
**Note: This backup HDD is NOT meant for data processing. Using it for case processing will drastically decrease the performance. If more storage is needed for data processing, we recommend increasing the volume of the system’s processing space or adding additional forms of SSD storage. - Tableau Universal Write-Blocking Bridge. A Tableau Universal Write-Blocking Bridge is an integrated write-blocker that is mounted in the SiForce A workstation. It supports forensic acquisitions of SATA, USB, PCIe, SAS, FireWire, and IDE devices.
