Overview
The Sapphire family of RAID enclosure is a compact size, light weight and low
power external multi-bay storage device that is ideal for expanding the storage
on any system.Offering a choice of models equipped with a different type of
interface, the Sapphire Disk Array offers fast external storage performance via
eSATA, the SuperSpeed USB 3.0, or mini SAS connection to any computer. You can
swap drives in and out of the Sapphire Disk Array, just like using tape
cassette, without the need to restart your system. You can also start with as
little as one hard drive and expand to 2, 3 or 4 drives to meet the need of your
application. There is also choice of model with integrated Hardware Port
multiplier that allows the drives to be set up as a high-performance RAID group
with redundancy for reliability
Constructed in a light-weight sturdy aluminum housing with an integrated
cooling fan for efficient heat dissipation, the Sapphire Disk Array is a great
portable storage solution for a wide range of applications that demand high
performance and large amount of storage out in the field
About this model
This Sapphire Disk Array comes equipped with 4 SATA - eSATA bridges that
connects all 4 drives to any computer via 4 eSATA cables. This ensures maximum
throughput of 6 Gbps per eSATA port, ideal for 2.5" SSD or Addonics2.5"
flash drive solution. Drives can be added or removed via the four
removable drive trays. It is an easy way to add four 2.5" hard drives or
high-performance SSD to any system externally
The four drives can be used as individual drives or set as a large volume,
high-performance RAID group via the RAID software of the OS or host controller.
When combines with the Addonics4 eSATA 6G controller, the four
drives can be combined to form a large capacity RAID 0 volume with performance
exceeding 15 Gbps.
