The Quad is equipped with a large 120mm fan, virtually the entire rear panel is designed to circulate cool air through the hard drives. The fan is large but it is tame, it operates at a lower RPM and it’s very quiet.

The fully loaded RAID controller is highly configurable but yet it is simple to use. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6 and JBOD with hot spares. It requires a free slot in your computer.

The instant availability and background initialization features saves you from hours of RAID format time. In fact, the Quad comes pre-formatted for Mac OS X, it mounts on the desktop on 1st hookup. For Windows a short format process is required.

The Quad-e is supplied with an 8 lane PCI-express RAID controller. Connects to your MacPro or PCI-e equipped G5 or Windows / Linux based computer.

RAID Management GUI

A web browser accessed RAID Manager provides quick and easy RAID management. The Quad comes pre-configured for Mac OS X in RAID 0 performance mode, so it might not be necessary to access the RAID Manager initially. But, should you want to change the configuration or manage the disk drives, you are just a couple of clicks away from the RAID Manager.
