The
TowerRAID TR5UT+B
i
s a 5-bay hardware RAID 5 storage tower that utilizes high
interfaces to provide over 200MB/s in performance.The performance USB 3.0 and eSATA
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 TR5UT+B 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
RAID controller cards are unnecessary.
To satisfy to reduce CPU utilization from the host PC
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. Designed with easy
installation in mind, the TR5UT+B allows effortless installation by simply inserting the hard
drive tray (with the hard drives installed) after opening the attractive ventilating door. The
TR5UT+B is the ultimate RAID storage for all storage needs.
