CalDigit VR
2.0TB Desktop RAID Storage Solution
Mac | PC | eSATA | FireWire 800 / 400 | USB 2.0

Mac PC

The CalDigit VR is the most advanced two drive RAID array on the market, supporting a quadruple interface for easy connectivity. The CalDigit VR's modular design provides two hot swappable drive modules and an easy to read frontside LCD.

With support for RAID 0, 1, and JBOD the CalDigit VR can reach speeds of up to 250MB/s, and includes easy to use software for configuration and monitoring which also supports email notification. The CalDigit VR packs a ton of performance into a small package, making it a truly portable solution.

Reach the speed limit with guaranteed protection

The CalDigit VR can reach speeds up to 250MB/s in RAID 0, and over 110MB/s with RAID 1 protection. These high speeds allow for the most demanding tasks, like video editing. In fact the CalDigit VR is so fast that it can play back high definition video with ease.

RAID 1 provides the ultimate in protection and backup for valuable data, by mirroring data on both drives. If a drive fails all data can be restored. Used as a backup solution, the CalDigit VR will ensure added confidence with this data redundancy. RAID 1 provides the ultimate solution for Time Machine or other back up software.

Manage, Monitor, Modify

The easy to read orange back lit LCD provides valuable data and added confidence that's just a glance away. Additionally LED status lights provide a visual representation of the CalDigit VR's operation. As if that's not enough an audible alert can also be set.

An advanced environmental monitor provides detailed information about temperature, fan RPM and hard drive health, so you are alway in the know. This data is extremely important, especially when using the CalDigit VR in the field. This information is available through the LCD or CalDigit VR software.

A cooler design

The energy saving, ambient temperature controlled smart fan, runs extremely quiet ensuring proper airflow and advanced cooling without compromise. In addition the CalDigit VR is designed with an all aluminum enclosure to assist with heat dissipation. Heat can cause damage to hard drives, and fans can add unwanted noise. The CalDigit VR takes advantage of the latest technology, ensuring both a cool and quiet experience.

Security

The CalDigit VR includes a security lock, perfect for educational institutions, trade shows or any situation where the the drive needs to be physically locked in place. Additionally Locking drive modules ensure that the drives don't get removed by accident. For sensitive data, the CalDigit VR's software provides password protection against unauthorized changes.

Easy configuration and monitor

The CalDigit VR comes with advanced software that provides easy management, monitoring, diagnostic reports, email notifications, and firmware update capabilities. This provides users with interactive assurance. This easy to use software is the command center for the CalDigit VR which allows users to update the firmware. Other two drive arrays lack this important capability, which allows for additional features as well as bug fixes.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Hardware RAID support for RAID 0, 1, and JBOD provides maximum flexibility. Hardware RAID provides an independent CPU and dedicated cache memory to manage the RAID volume. This dedicated process eliminates additional strain from host system's CPU, allowing applications full access. Software RAID systems rely on the host CPU and RAM which can slow down applications by taxing the workstation's CPU. Additionally the quadruple interface supports USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 and eSATA, making the CalDigit VR extremely versatile. Two FireWire 800 ports allow daisy chaining multiple CalDigit VRs together without performance loss.

Advanced modular design

The CalDigit VR has two hot swappable drive modules, allowing for easy replacement and expansion. This added flexibility makes it easy to archive data. Instead of storing an entire enclosure, with the CalDigit VR only the drive modules need to be stored. The advanced modular design even allows for easy replacement of the fan.
The sleek and sexy design is as functional as it is good looking. A front side power button makes powering the unit on and off a breeze, and the all aluminum enclosure provides additional heat dissipation. The mesh aluminum design matches with many of today's popular workstations and the orange back lit LCD is easy on they eyes.
