“Live Activity” Backup for Maximum Data Protection
Guardian MAXimus mini comes factory set as a RAID-1 Plug And Play “live activity” data redundant/backup solution for financial records, medical files, business projects –any critical data that consumer and professional users simply cannot risk losing. Always guarding against data loss and costly system downtime, the Guardian MAXimus mini MAXProtect mode writes the same information in real-time to two separate 2.5″ SATA drives, each offering up to 750GB of storage capacity, for a “mirrored” copy.
MAXPerform For High Speed Data Transfers
For Mac and PC users seeking ultimate performance over redundancy, Guardian MAXimus mini can be easily switched via the front panel LCD screen menu to the RAID-0 MAXPerform mode for up to 1.5TB of high speed storage.
MAXimum Flexibility & Portability
Guardian MAXimus mini provides maximum data protection with minimal use of desktop space thanks to a shock resistant, compact 5.2” x 3.5″ x 2.1″ footprint. And if a mobile storage sentinel is needed, Guardian MAXimus mini offers maximum portability with a 1.50 pound weight and bus powered, fanless operation.
MAXimum Compatibility
With a “Quad Interface” of two FireWire 800, one FireWire 400, one USB 2.0, and one eSATA ports and all connecting cables included, Guardian MAXimus mini doesn’t require any complicated set-up and is ready for Plug and Play use with legacy Macs, the latest Mac models, as well as PCs. It provides data transfer speeds up to 300MB/s and can be moved between different systems utilizing its supported interfaces with complete interoperability for maximum data backup performance and flexibility.
