The
TowerRAID TR4UT+B
is 4-bay hardware RAID 5 storage tower that utilizes high
performance USB 3.0 and eSATA interfaces to provide over 200MB/s in performance. The
included USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with widely available USB 2.0 ports, which is a
convenient feature when both USB 3.0 and eSATA connections are unavailable. With built-in
RAID 0, 1, 10, 3, 5 with hot-spare and JBOD, the TR4UTP provides hardware RAID
redundancy protection against hard drive failures. A brand new RAID mode, CLONE or N-Way
Mirror, is also introduced to replicate the saved data throughout each installed hard drive.
The RAID engine is embedded within the enclosure and performs all RAID parity calculation
to reduce CPU utilization from the host PC. RAID controller cards are unnecessary.
To satisfy the need for performance demanding applications, the unit is bundled with a 2-port
PCIe 2.0 x1 eSATA controller card with SATA 6.0 Gbps (6G) support (RR622 controller card).
PCIe 2.0 is capable of providing twice the bandwidth of PCIe 1.0, allowing over 200MB/s in
performance. The unit is also backward compatible with PCIe 1.0 slots to provide eSATA
connectivity for computers that do not have built-in eSATA ports. The TR4UTP is the ultimate
RAID storage for all storage needs.
