The EzRaid™Dual Swap+ unit allows you to quickly and easily set up a RAID 1 disk mirroring system on your computer using Serial ATA (SATA) drives. Whatever you save to one drive is concurrently sent to the second so you always have an up to the minute copy of your hard drive. If one drive fails, the other takes over automatically and keeps you up and running. The EzRAID Dual Swap+ can be set up and operated entirely through the easy to use front panel LCD. The Dual Swap+ is an ideal solution for UNIX, LINUX or Solaris, as well as Windows installations.
Installing the EzRAID Dual Swap+ is a simple matter of slipping it into any 5.25" double drive bay and connecting the cables to your motherboard. Insert your drives into the removable drive caddies; lock the caddies in place with the provided keys, push a button and you're ready to go.
If a drive fails, you can replace it while the system is running. The Dual Swap+ will rebuild the mirror. This means that it will copy all the data to the new drive in the background. There is no need to bring the system down. No down time!
The Dual Swap+ is firmware flash upgradeable and RoHS compliant. A Windows management utility is provided for those who wish to use it.
