CalDigit VR makes RAID easy
February 6, 2009: Eureka Pacific has unveiled the CalDigit VR, a complete two drive RAID system that supports USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 and eSATA as a standard feature.
Replacing the CalDigit Firewire VR and Caldigit S2VR, it offers hardware RAID support for RAID 0, 1, and JBOD with two hot swappable drive modules, allowing for easy replacement and expansion. The modular design allows for easy replacement of the fan.
It can reach speeds up to 220MB/s in RAID 0, and over 100MB/s with RAID 1 protection. RAID 1 provides the ultimate in protection and backup for valuable data, by mirroring data on both drives. If a drive fails all data can be restored.
An advanced environmental monitor provides detailed information about temperature, fan RPM and hard drive health. An aluminium enclosure provides additional heat dissipation.
The energy saving, ambient temperature controlled smart fan doesn't need to run unless the CalDigit VR needs additional cooling. The CalDigit VR comes with software that provides easy management, monitoring, diagnostic repots, email noti?cations, and ?rmware update capabilities.
The CalDigit VR is expected to be available in Australia in mid-February
