The OWC / Other World Computing Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 8TB 4-Bay USB 3.0 RAID Array is a multi-interfaced RAID storage solution that provides a total capacity of 8TB for your Mac and Windows systems. This storage array offers USB 3.0, dual FireWire 800, and an eSATA port with maximum transfer speeds of 300, 100, and 300 MB/s respectively. The Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 has four 2TB 7200 rpm SATA drives and stores up to 8TB of data. Actual storage capacity depends on the RAID configuration. This storage array is pre-configured in RAID 5 mode, which is designed for optimized data protection, capacity, and performance. Hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 can also be selected from the system's lockable front panel; each RAID level offers configuration options for capacity, data protection, redundancy, and speed.
This storage array is pre-formatted for Mac but can be re-formatted to work in a Windows environment.

Furthermore, a free downloadable software suite is available for backing up and tuning your Mac and Windows systems.
