The Cinema Pro has 2GB of onboard SDRAM cache memory, and features support for RAID 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6 and JBOD (Just a Bunch of Drives), all of which is configured via EZQuest's GUI RAID utility. The software also offers e-mail (SMTP) and remote (SNMP) support notification.

The device also has an optional redundant power supply, and a RAID cache battery backup module.

The Cinema Pro is scheduled to ship in March of 2009, with a starting price of US$8,849. The company is showing it booth #2006 at Macworld this week.
