This 5 bay drive enclosure is a very cost effective, reliable and hi performance RAID 5 solution! In addition to speed and reliability, the enclosure design includes dual cooling fans and five SATA hot-swappable drive trays. Terrific solution for budget minded users that want fast, reliable, and easy to manage storage at a great price!

• RAID 0 (Striping) — allows the enclosure to performance stripe the drives, to provide maximum throughput to the direct attached PC/Server.
• RAID 1 — allows the enclosure to automatically copy primary hard drive without any CPU loading.
• RAID 3 (Byte-level data striping with dedicated parity drive) — good choice in applications where large files comprise all of the workload.
• RAID 5 (Striping with Parity) — provides the perfect balance between very high performance and data integrity.
• RAID 10 (Mirrored Stripe) — provides 100% data redundancy plus offers increased performance by striping across 2 disks.
• JBOD or Port Multiplier* — allows the direct attached PC/Server to see the drives in the enclosure as just a bunch of drives.
