Introduction

UF2DSATA02 is USB 2.0 & FireWire400 (IEEE 1394a) to SATA Dual Mode Bridge Board

  • Device Mode: FireWire400 & USB 2.0 to Dual SATA
  • Host Mode: eSATA, FireWire400 & USB 2.0 to SATA

UF2DSATA02 is a selectable hardware RAID Bridge Board for two SATA HDDs. A true hardware solution, UF2DSATA02 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, UF2DSATA02 maintains data in two disk drives simultaneously and securely. If one drive fails, UF2DSATA02 automatically switches operations to the functional drive and alert the failure. Once a new HDD is installed to replace the defective drive, the UF2DSATA02 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, UF2DSATA02 integrates two HDDs into a big drive.
