Introduction

U2DSATA01P is USB 2.0 to Dual SATA RAID Bridge Board in PCI bracket form factor.

  • Device Mode: USB 2.0 to Dual SATA Bridge Board
  • Host Mode: eSATA & USB 2.0 ComBo to SATA Bridge Board

U2DSATA01P is a selectable hardware RAID Bridge Board for two SATA HDDs. A true hardware solution, U2DSATA01P requires no software to be installed on your machine.

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, U2DSATA01P maintains data in two disk drives simultaneously and securely. If one drive fails, U2DSATA01P automatically switches operations to the functional drive and alert the failure. Once a new HDD is installed to replace the defective drive, the U2DSATA01P 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, U2DSATA01P integrates two HDDs into a big drive.
