Introduction

FWB2ATA35QR is FireWire800 (IEEE 1394b) to ATA RAID 0 sub-system
FWB2ATA35QR is a reliable and cost effective solution for RAID 0 disk striping.
By striping technique, FWB2ATA35QR integrates four HDDs into a super big drive.

FWB2ATA35QR takes full advantage of high-speed Ultra DMA 133 ATA Bus allowing for multitasking performance.

RAID

  • Striping : for disks with same capacity.
  • Spanning : for disks with different capacity.
