Taking advantage of a native RAID controller that preserves computer resources, this compact 2-disk device comes with Hi-Speed USB and faster eSATA 3Gbits connectivity. Simply select your RAID level with the switch on the back. FAST mode supports speed and capacity-demanding applications, such as uncompressed SD video editing. Ideal for saving important digital libraries, SAFE mode mirrors data so if one disk fails, data remains accessible on the second one. Data redundancy can even be immediately rebuilt with a hot-swappable spare disk**. For higher flexibility, the SAFE33/50 modes create two partitions: BIG for regular data and SAFE for data security. The heat sink metal design naturally draws heat away from the hard disk’s internal components to help keep it cool and improve reliability. It can be stacked or rackmounted.
