MAXimum Performance & Compatibility
Underneath Guardian MAXimus’s sleek, unassuming housing beats the heart of a super protector ready to save large amounts of precious data quickly, reliably, and effortlessly. Pre-configured hardware RAID solutions feature 2 paired lightning fast SATA drives with up to 2.0TB each of storage capacity and a high speed Oxford 936DS eSATA, FireWire 800/400 & USB 2.0 chipset to deliver some of the fastest single drive transfer rates possible...up to 300MB per second!
"add your own hard drive" flexibility and economy. Thanks to its 1 eSATA port, 2 FireWire 800 ports, 1 FireWire 400 port, and 1 USB 2.0 port, Guardian MAXimus offers Plug-and-Play connectivity of vault-like mirrored data storage performance to ANY computer with an available eSATA, FireWire or USB port.
MAXimum Real Time Redundancy
Real performance can also be measured by intangibles like having peace of mind knowing your critical data is always safe! Should you experience a hard drive failure, the ever vigilant Guardian MAXimus automatically and seamlessly continues data read/write functions with the remaining drive. And with the convenient front panel drive status LEDs, you’ll know at a glance which drive is being accessed and if you need to take any action.
MAXimum Portability
With its shock resistant design, diminutive 5.8 pound weight (Bare case is
2.68 pounds, 1.22 kg.), and 9.3" x 2.8" x 5.6" (237mm x 72mm x 142mm) dimensions, Guardian MAXimus is ready to go to wherever you need a storage sentinel on duty.

Why You Need Guardian MAXimus RAID-1
Guardian MAXimus is "live activity" backup of financial records, medical files, business projects...any critical data that you simply cannot risk losing. It's always guarding against data loss by writing the same information in real-time to two separate drives for a "mirrored" copy. It also protects you from costly system downtime and data restoring after a single hard drive-equipped system crash. Even daily scheduled software driven data backups can't protect you from the time of your last backup and when the hard drive fails.
