*Recommended Configurations Supported

RAID 0 - Performance Striping for maximum performance (requires two identical Hard Drives.)
SPAN - Non-RAID Span mode combines any two drives to give a single volume of combined total drive capacity.
RAID 1 - Available, but not recommended as if either drive fails, no indication of this status is given and data is not written to remaining drive until solution is powered off and on again. For maximum RAID 1 performance and reliability, we strongly recommend the NewerTech Guardian MAXimus.
"Independent Mode" - Allows each drive to show up as a separate volume/device for 'independent access' of each separately or for custom software RAID configuration via software disk utility (not included).

Drive Speed Support

Up to 10,000RPM
