The 4TB DM4LH 4-Bay HDD RAID Enclosure w/ 4x 1TB Hard Disk Drives from Sabio is a high-performance storage solution designed to provide you with vast capacity, a variety of secure RAID options, and fast data access. This enclosure comes with four 1TB SATA II 3.5" hard disk drives that spin at the fast disk speed of 7200rpm. The enclosure most notably features a built-in RAID engine that allows you to format the drives in a RAID configuration without having to install or buy a separate controller for your computer. This engine can format the drives in a RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5, Span, or JBOD configuration. The enclosure also supports 2TB drives if you ever want greater storage capacity.
For connecting the enclosure to your computer, you can either use the built-in USB 2.0 or eSATA interfaces. Particularly fast, the eSATA interface supports read speeds of up to 237 MB/s and write speeds of up to 234MB/s. The USB 2.0 interface supports read speeds of up to 25MB/s and write speeds of up to 20MB/s. Since high-performance is the name of the game with this enclosure, it is ideal for data and graphics intensive applications like engineering, CAD/CAM, photo, video or audio creation and editing. It is compatible with Windows and Mac computers.
