NewerTech Guardian MAXimus storage solution provides maximum Plug-and-Play "Live Activity" data backup and protection in a space-saving mini footprint. In the pre-configured MAXProtect mode, Guardian MAXimus mini guards against data loss and costly system downtime by writing the same information in real-time to create a "mirrored" copy of up to 120GB of data. For those seeking faster performance, Guardian MAXimus mini can be easily switched to MAXPerform mode for up to 240GB of high speed performance storage. Whatever your preference, Guardian MAXimus mini offers MAXimum performance, flexibility, and reliability for critical data backup.
MAXiumum Portability
Guardian MAXimus mini is ready to go wherever your "mobile office" needs take you. Bus-powered (no AC adapter required) and weighing as little as 1.24 pounds, it offers maximum data protection with minimal gear bag bulk. While ultra compact, the Guardian MAXimus mini comes packed with high performance features like dual hard drives or SSDs, data transfer speeds up to 300MB/s, and user conveniences like a front panel LCM screen/control interface for drive and system status monitoring.
Why You Need Guardian MAXimus mini RAID-0, RAID-1
With the RAID-0 striped mode, Guardian MAXimus mini dedicates its drives to maximum performance ensuring you stay working at the highest speeds. In the RAID-1 mode, you get a "live activity" backup of financial records, medical files, business projects...any critical data that you simply cannot risk losing. You're always protected against data loss as the same information is copied in real-time to two separate drives for a "mirrored" copy. You're also protected from costly system downtime and data restoring after a single hard drive-equipped system crash. By having a second, "mirrored" copy, you can keep working and saving until the failed drive is replaced. Best of all? After replacing that drive, the Guardian MAXimus mini automatically rebuilds the "mirror" by copying all the data to the new drive!
The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity. varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). The above capacity specifications are based on the factory default configuration of RAID 1. If the RAID 0 configuration is set, capacities are doubled.

This drive worked great as I used it for a cross country motorcycle ride and was using my 2008 MacBook Pro. I loved being able to have the external storage be bus powered.
Works well and worth the investment. The only minus: the LCD display is difficult to read from an angle, even when you try to vary the contrast. Aside from that, it's an overall good product
So I see the video and think this will be quick. Then just the trial I had to back out the drive bay screws made me think I would break it. Those screws are tightened way to much! Once the screws were out it was plop, plop, fizz, fizz what a relief it is. I found the area below the unit gets really hot and after a quarter inch spacing it all cooled down. Definitely needs that space! I'm using the MAXImus with two other FW 800 drives and there was no issue with the additional drives. All is well and running great!
