- No Longer Available
The 2TB DriveStation Quattro TurboUSB External Hard Drive Array from Buffalo is a high-capacity external RAID that features four 7200rpm drives. The array can be configured in a hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 or JBOD configuration. The array features a dual USB 2.0 and eSATA interface for computer connection. It is an excellent solution for digital imaging, data backup or general storage applications.
- 2TB Capacity
- 2TB of capacity allows for storage of approximately 150 hours of uncompressed DV digital video, the equivalent of 425 4.7GB DVD video discs or up to 500,000 MP3 files.
- TurboUSB
- The drive features Buffalo's TurboUSB technology. TurboUSB can achieve sustained transfer rates that are up to 37% faster than standard USB 2.0 drives.
- RAID Capabilities
- The drive can be configured as a RAID 0 for full capacity and fast data transfer. It can also be configured as a RAID 1 mirror, giving you half the data capacity and the security of real-time data mirroring. RAID 5 is supported for three-quarter capacity and data protection. The drive can also be set up as a JBOD, which will mount each physical hard disk separately on your system. Software for Mac and Windows is included to configure the RAID settings.
- Memeo Backup Software
- The drive ships with Memeo AutoBackup software for Windows. This lets you easily backup important files, ensuring that they will be protected in the case of a drive failure.
- SATA Drives
- Buffalo exclusively uses 7200rpm SATA drives with large buffers in the DriveStation Duo, leaving no doubt that you will be receiving a quality drive in the enclosure.
- Dual Interface
- The drive easily connects to any computer with a eSATA or USB 2.0 interface, making it easy to add to a variety of workstations.
- Hot-Swappable
- The drive is hot-swappable and plug-and-play, so there is no need to turn off your computer while connecting or disconnecting it.
- Compact Size
- The drive's 6.5 x 8 x 9.5" footprint makes it ideal for users with limited desk space.

Comments about Buffalo 2TB DriveStation Quattro TurboUSB External Hard Drive Array:
Use it for image storage via sata and it works beautifully. Do need to use a UPS as RAID can crash and need rebuild if power is lost. Cust support is not the greatest, but build quality is great.
