PAIR 2-Bay FireWire RAID System

RS-S2TJ

It is rare to come across 2-Bay enclosures for 2.5-inch hard drives in today's market, plus one with RAID management. The DataTale PAIR 2-Bay RAID System is customized with an intelligible GUI (RAID MASTER) for personalized RAID settings, a colorful LED for immediate system status, and triple interfaces for instant connection. The DataTale PAIR 2-Bay RAID System is light for travel, and perfect for mobile users looking for heavy RAID supervision.

With the user-friendly RAID MASTER application, anyone can arrange permitted RAID tasks or be alerted of potential system problems. In addition, DataTale PAIR 2-Bay RAID System allows straightforward RAID mode-setting including: JBOD (Non RAID), RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), and Span (Large).



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. With the FireWire 800 connection, the hard drives can be powered, and DataTale PAIR 2-Bay will not need an A/C adapter anymore, lightening the load even more.

Its slim, sturdy housing can safely seal away any two 2.5-inch hard drives, sheltering them from random accidents. Add the bundled black "Slip Bag", slide the PAIR in and be on your way.



Besides being a desktop-capable RAID System, the thin and light DataTale PAIR 2-Bay System is perfect for any travel-like carry-on bags. Its small book-like body along with RAID MASTER gives users the flexibility to operate RAID applications on the go.
