easyRAID ER-M2S600 System by Starline: Internal 2-Bay RAID

Starline Computer GmbH introduces internal 2-bay RAID system ER-M2S600.

The easyRAID ER-M2S600 is suitable for secure provision of data by simultaneously writing on two HDDs or for high data transfer rates and intensive disk accesses.

The ‘hot-swapping’ – feature in RAID-1 mode allows the removal of drives for backup during operation. If a new HDD is inserted, the data gets automatically mirrored, so that the data are redundant again.

The ER-M2S600 is an internal 6 Gb SATA RAID system with a low space requirement. It is well suited for smaller digital video surveillance systems. The data of DVR (Digital Video Recording) or NVR (Network Video Recording) are simultaneously stored on both drives. The ‘hot-swap’ – functionality simplifies provision and archiving of data. In RAID-1 mode, up to 8TB are available for high data protection. Under RAID-0, there are up to 16TB for higher performance.

Secure mirroring can be realized with the HDDs in RAID-1 mode. On both drives, the data is backed up in parallel to prevent data loss due to HDD failure. Thus, a stable operation is ensured. The RAID-0 mode offers a higher read and write performance by splitting into blocks on both disks.

The RAID system is easy to install and has a user-friendly LCD display for monitoring. It is not only cost effective but also flexible and independent of the OS. No further drivers and no additional software is required. The performance of the computer remains unaffected.
