Transcend Mirroring IDE Raid Kit

Transcend Mirroring IDE Raid Kit ... delivers optimized performance, comparable to more costly SCSI-based solutions. If one drive fails, data are secured by the other drive and an alarm sounds to alert you.

TS-R210D RAID kit is hardware-based RAID, this means no impact on system performance. Compare this to software-based RAIDs, which use the host processor for RAID computations and can slow overall performance considerably.

TS-R210D RAID kit connects directly to the ATA/IDE bus of the host computer. The architecture means that TS-R210D requires no drivers, IRQ's, or tray resources and is hardware and OS independent. This makes TS-R210D the most reliable, and flexible solution available.

Data is written simultaneously and securely to two hard drives, thereby maintaining a constant mirror of all data. In fact, TS-R210D does this at block level, so it works with all types of data and drive formats and partitions schemes. If a hard drive should fail, the TS-R210D automatically switches operations to the remaining drive and alerts you visually and audibly that a drive has failed. You can replace the failed drive at your convenience.

The TS-R210D IDE Raid Kit is a complete RAID solution. The advanced power and bus management allow you to hot-swap drives from the IDE Raid Kit. If a drive fails, there is no need to shut down the computer. Simply slide out the failed drive, slide in a replacement, and TS-R210D automatically remirrors your data. A key lock on each drive caddy provides complete security. IDE Raid Kit is the ideal solution for your Disaster Recovery plans as well.
