Description

This great value external dual-disk RAID drive is great for those needing performance and data safety. Using the disk in its RAID 1 Mirror configuration will give you 3TB of capacity, with your data automatically being written to both disks at the same time. If a disk failed, then your data would be safely held, and can still be accessed, on the other disk drive.

Other dual disk configurations are also possible by changing the slider on the front of the enclosure (and pressing the reset button). Please note that your data is lost when you switch between different RAID modes, so it must be set before you start adding data.

The WD Caviar Green disk drives use the very latest technology with a massive 750GB per platter (so only 4 platters are needed for 3TB of capacity), enabling the massive capacity without increasing heat compared to previous generation disks.

This product is aimed at PC users with fast usb 3.0 ports, or standard USB 2.0 ports. You will get significantly faster performance using USB 3.0.

See our performance graphs below to compare the speed of the unit in different configurations.

You can eject and change disk drives easily using the disk doors on the front of the unit. No screws are needed.

Windows XP cannot work with sizes of greater than 2TB, so cannot use this disk in any mode. Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Apple Macs do not have this limitation.
