3500MGB-Raid Series - 3.5" Dual Bay External Enclosure Case When it comes to raw power there is nothing to beat the dual-bay 3500 Metal Gear Box Raid. The 3500MGB-Raid is built strong and rugged, offering more than enough capacity to store all your digital media files. Not only that, the 3500MGB-Raid can also back up and secure all of your data thanks to RAID protection. Great performance, great protection and great looks – only in the 3500MGB-Raid.

| FEATURES | ||
RAID Modes The 3500MGB-Raid comes with the option to setup your drives and combine them as one single drive or as two individual drives. To increase performance and data throughput, the "RAID 0 - Striping" setup will be ideal for your daily backup and other data transfers.
Note: * For RAID 0, identical hard drives are required (same manufacturer, capacity and RPM)! |
||
|
Non-RAID The drives will show up as two independent drives. Use this if you have only installed one drive or two different drives (not the same capacity and brand). |
|
|
RAID 0 - Spanning* The two drives show up as one large single drive. Spanning is an array (not RAID) that is written sequentially across the two drives. By itself, it does not provide any performance or redundancy benefits. |
|
|
RAID 0 - Striping* Used where speed is the primary objective, RAID Level 0 (also called "striping") is not redundant. This form of array splits each piece of data across both of the drives in segments; since data is written without any form of parity data-checking, it allows for the fastest data transfer of all other RAID levels. However, if one drive becomes damaged, the whole array can become corrupted. |
