LaCie 2TB 2big Dual (2-disk RAID) RAID Hard Drive, eSATA II 3Gbits and Hi-Speed USB 2.0, Model: 301253U

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.

Features:
  • Ideal for professional audio & multi-stream video editing
  • Storage solution with 2 hot-swappable SATA disks
  • 6 RAID modes for high speed, security and/or capacity
  • Automatically back up your data

Limited Warranty: One year from invoice date with Directron.com. 3-year from invoice date with manufacturer. 30-Day money back from receiving date with 15% restocking fee for non-defective returns.

Notes:
(1) 1TB (Terabyte) = 1000GB. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5–10% less).
Capacity also varies depending upon RAID modes. BIG, FAST and JBOD = total accessible capacity; SAFE 100 (RAID 1) = 50% capacity; SAFE 50 (RAID 1) = 75% capacity; and SAFE 33 (RAID 1) = 83% capacity approximately.
(2) **Sold separately
(3) ***Burst transfer rates vary from one computer to another and may vary slightly from one drive to another. Average speed is usually lower, depending on host configuration. The eSATA burst transfer rate was found in JBOD with RAID 0 software.
