Unbreakable, Lightweight Protection for Your Areca 8050T3U-4 RAID
Your Areca 8050T3U-4 RAID is a critical investment, holding valuable data and representing a significant piece of your professional workflow. Transporting it shouldn't be a source of anxiety. The HPRC 4100 is engineered specifically to eliminate that risk, providing a sanctuary of security for your exact hardware. This lightweight, waterproof, and virtually indestructible case features high-density, precision laser-cut foam that cradles your Areca array, ensuring it remains stationary and protected from shock, vibration, and impact during transit.
At the core of the HPRC 4100's superior performance is its construction from a patented TTX01® material—a specialized compound of polypropylene, glass fiber, and rubber. This advanced blend allows the case to be incredibly robust yet remarkably light, weighing up to 20% less than competing cases. This significant weight reduction translates into easier handling on set, more manageable transport through airports, and potential savings on shipping costs, all without compromising an ounce of protection. The ergonomic handle and optional padded shoulder strap further enhance its portability for the professional on the move.
Engineered and manufactured entirely in Italy under a strict ISO 9001 certified process, this case is built to exceed the most demanding standards. It is IP67 certified to be completely waterproof and resistant to dust, sand, and acids. The automatic purge valve equalizes air pressure during altitude changes, while the robust two-stage latches prevent accidental opening, even after a severe drop. From its reinforced corners to its extreme temperature tolerance (-40°F to +176°F), every element of the HPRC 4100 is designed to provide absolute peace of mind. Trust your mission-critical hardware to a case that's certified for the challenge (ATA 300, STANAG 4280, DS 81-41).
