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 using any drive tray or special tool. 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 a Hardware Port Multiplier (HPM)
that connects all 4 drives to any computer via a single eSATA or USB 3.0
connection. Once connected, the four drives can be set up to appear as
individual drives to the system or can be set as a large volume and high
performance RAID group. The built-in RAID accelerator of the HPM provide
superior performance to support applications that require high data
throughput.
Using the optional AddonicsNAS 4.0 adapter, the four drives
can be instantly turned into a Network Attached Storage equipment for sharing
over the network.
