Introduction

UF2DSATA01 RAID Kit is a cost-effective Serial ATA to USB Bridge RAID kit.

It provides 4 hardware RAID mode:

  • RAID 1 (Mirroring): for two disks with same capacity.
  • RAID 0 (Striping): for two disks with same capacity.
  • Spanning: for two disks with different capacity.
  • Non-RAID (JBOD).

RAID 1 (Mirroring):
By mirroring technique, UF2DSATA01 maintains data in two disk drives simultaneously and securely. If one drive fails, UF2DSATA01automatically switches operations to the functional drive and alert the failure. Once a new HDD is installed to replace the defective drive, the UF2DSATA01 will automatic rebuild the entire HDD image in the background, while providing the un-interrupt data connection to the system

RAID 0 (Striping) and Spanning:
By striping/ spanning technique, UF2DSATA01 integrates two HDDs into a big drive.
