The ST2-B3 is an exceptional hardware RAID storage system that provides a reliable and versatile solution for your data storage needs. Designed to work seamlessly with both Mac and PC computers, this device allows you to take full advantage of 2.5" or 3.5" SATA III hard drives in high-performance RAID configurations.
One of the outstanding features of the ST2-B3 is its ability to overcome the challenges associated with cross-platform use. Through its hardware RAID controller chipset, this system allows you to simultaneously use hard drives on Mac and Windows computers seamlessly. Whether you work in a mixed environment or need to switch between platforms, the ST2-B3 gives you the flexibility you need.
The ST2-B3 is equipped with a variety of configuration modes to suit your specific needs. You can choose between RAID 1 mode (secure mode), which provides automatic backup and ensures the safety of your data, or RAID 0 mode (speed mode), which increases storage speed and performance for applications that require fast data access. In addition, you also have the option of JBOD mode, which allows you to create two independent volumes for greater control over your storage.
The RAID 1 feature built into the ST2-B3 is especially valuable, as it performs real-time backups of all records entering the system. This means that your data is protected against corruption even if one of the hard drives fails. With constant data duplication, the ST2-B3 guarantees an exceptional level of security for your most important files.
When it comes to performance, the ST2-B3 does not disappoint. Thanks to its ability to take advantage of the USB 3.0 interface, you can experience data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps. This is especially useful when you are working with large files or need to perform read/write speed intensive tasks. RAID 0 mode offers even higher performance, allowing you to achieve read speeds of up to 330 MB/s over the USB 3.0 interface.
The design of the ST2-B3 is also worth mentioning. With removable hard drive trays, this storage system makes it easy to install and remove hard drives, giving you greater flexibility and convenience when you need to change or add drives. In addition, its unibody aluminum case not only provides a sleek and professional look, but also protects your hard drives from impact and offers better heat dissipation thanks to its quiet fan.
With a storage capacity of up to 16TB or more, the ST2-B3 is capable of meeting your most demanding needs. You can install two hard drives of 8TB or more in RAID 0 mode for fast and convenient access to your files. Even in JBOD mode, which supports different hard disk capacities, you can enjoy separate storage areas for efficient organization of your data.
