Based on preference, any two 2.5-inch 9.5mm or 12.5 mm SATA hard disks can be combined as a single drive enclosure using SPAN, Mirror or Stripping mode, or remain separated as a 2-Bay RAID System using JBOD mode to perform the RAID Storage desired. This way, storage capacities won't be wasted just because the HDDs are separated; the data can be backed up even outside the home or office. Furthermore, since the DataTale PAIR can support over 2TB* of drive capacity without any trouble under RAID 0 or SPAN.
*This only applies if the host supports more than 2TB.The DataTale PAIR 2-Bay System facilitates a 2-Bay storage device ready for usage anywhere via FireWire bus power.

Data Watch DataTale PAIR 2.5-inch 2-Bay RAID Enclosure Review
The DataTale PAIR 2.5-inch 2-Bay RAID Enclosure is an external dual-2.5�� drive enclosure with just about every interface possible, along with actual hardware RAID capabilities. It comes at a hefty price premium, but if you're got the need for external speed, and the right interface option on your target device, it delivers the speed. Alternately, it delivers two 2.5�� disks worth of space, should you need that more than speed. 08/2011. |
