  Storage Enclosure / 2-bay RAID System for 3.5" SATA HDDAvailable Models: RSM2BF $179.98 2-Bay RAID System USB 2.0 and Firewire 800 Ports RSM2TS $149.98 2-Bay RAID System with eSATA and USB 2.0 Ports RSM2UF $129.98 2-Bay RAID System USB 2.0 Ports What RAID levels do O’TOSTORE DataWhale systems offer you? - Striping (RAID 0): the fastest and most efficient array type in which data is striped and evenly written to two separate drives simultaneously. - Spanning: in this mode two HDD drives are concatenated into one logical storage unit, allowing users to maximize storage capacity without requiring IT expertise. - Mirroring (RAID 1): the best choice for an entry-level redundant system, which mirrors and duplicates data records to two HDDs. - JBOD (just a bunch of disks): this mode allows the DataWhale to operate as a multi-disk storage enclosure. Speed and massive storage capacity are typically cited as the chief benefits of RAID storage management. In addition, real-time redundant backup of data and fault tolerance make RAID a critical part of any enterprise, regardless of size. Commercial enterprises that fail to deploy RAID or disk mirroring can face even larger costs in the event of disk failure. Upon careful analysis, potential adopters of RAID technology will discover that the greatest cost of disk failure is the accumulated long term loss of sales. The O·TOSTORE DataWhale 3.5" SATA HDD 2-Bay RAID systems help to prevent data loss and makes storage management easier than ever before. Power users and corporate users requiring high bandwidth or massive storage capacity will appreciate the feature rich DataWhale RS-M2TS, RS-M2UF and RS-M2BF 3.5" SATA HDD 2-Bay RAID systems. The entire DataWhale family offers the RAID storage management options discerning users demand, including Striping (RAID 0), Spanning, Mirroring (RAID 1) and JBOD (just a bunch of disks). Striping mode is the best choice for maintaining optimum performance when working with giant files and storage hungry audio and video editing applications. When you simply need large capacity storage, spanning combines two hard drives into a single logical large unit for you. Mirroring mode provides real-time data protection and fault-tolerance by making an exact copy of everything you do as you do it, perfect for security sensitive users, if catastrophe strikes, and the first HDD fails, an exact duplicate backup is always available. With automatic rebuild support, mirroring is the ideal solution for backing up and protecting your large mission-critical databases. DataWhale systems provide real data security with support for HDD hot swapping in Mirroring mode. If either of the mirrored disks fails, the faulty disk can be removed without powering down. Once a new disk is installed, the rebuild function takes over and populates the new disk, making an exact copy of the original disk. For ease and simplicity, the JBOD option allows the Data Whale systems work as the ultimate multi-disk storage enclosure. Using the DataWhale is as easy and familiar as using a single bay external enclosure. Simply install the HDDs, set the RAID mode via the mode switch, connect the cables, and turn on the power for massive storage capacity on your desktop. The need for software GUI installation is eliminated. Onboard LED indicators keep you apprised of system, connection, and HDD status while the user-friendly HDD tray design makes HDD hot-swapping effortless. Like all O·TOSTORE products the DataWhale systems feature outstanding mechanical design and the rugged elegance of aluminum. The high quality, silent running fan exhausts hot air away from the internal HDDs, dramatically enhancing internal air flow to thouroughly and efficiently cool high RPM SATA HDDs. |
