3.5in esata USB Dual Removable SATA RAID External Hard Drive Enclosure StarTech ID: S352U2RER This esata/usb External Dual SATA Hot-swap Hard Drive Enclosure lets you install two 3.5in SATA (SATA, SATA II) drives, each at a capacity of 1.5TB (for a total max capacity of 3TB), with support for a broad range of RAID applications including RAID 0, RAID 1, BIG, JBOD, SAFE33 & SAFE50. Delivering maximum versatility, the Dual SATA External Hard Drive Enclosure can be connected to a computer using either esata or USB 2.0, and features built-in port multiplier support that allows both of the installed SATA hard drives to be connected using a single esata connection to your computer (if using an esata connection). The hot-swappable trays allow you to quickly remove and install hard drives without having to reboot or disconnect the drive enclosure. Plus, the dual SATA hard drive enclosure offers built-in RAID support, which will rebuild the RAID array in the event a new drive is inserted - providing seamless uninterrupted communication with your PC and data. The esata USB Dual SATA HDD Enclosure features a sturdy and attractive silver aluminum casing that looks great in any environment and helps protect installed SATA hard drives and their valuable data content from in-transit damage, while providing maximum heat dissipation. Using Terabyte hard drives? Don t expose your Hard Drive and valuable data to unnecessary heat! StarTech.com's esata/usb External Dual SATA Hot-swap Hard Drive Enclosure includes a large, built-in 50mm fan that redistributes the heat build-up that's generated as a result of typical drive operation, which is especially important when using high capacity (Terabyte) hard drives, and faster spinning" drives (i.e 7200 RPM), as it can help optimize drive operability and preserve stored data integrity.
Applications and Solutions Big and Safe RAID configurations for Digital Video & Audio Editing Digital/Multimedia file archiving Ideal for users who work with large multimedia files or databases, and need to expand external storage capacities JBOD Disk Farm with Hot-Swap support Large file storage offloading & backup with Off site storage options. RAID 0 support allows efficient management of large amounts of non-critical or archived data in exte RAID 1 allows the user to insure that mission critical data is backed up and safe. And can easily be retrieved incase of data lose or system failure
