2-1 Introduction

 

 

CineRAID Home CR-H408 

supports maximum 4 SATA HDD with RAID & JBOD functions, and the 

latest USB 3.0 technology, the data transfer rate up to 5Gb/s; eSATA data transfer rate up to 3Gb/s. 

It is desirable to be able to use all the disks as if they were one single volume (cf. # P.16). There 

are 7 RAID modes for max 4 hard disks - the RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 10 and JBOD which can combine 4 

drives into one larger logical volume for the data safety. A RAID system is an ideal tool to secure 

valuable data. Supports the SATA Port Multiplier function, it works without any express card to 

read the multi bay SATA enclosure. 

 

Notice # 1:    When connecting one volume or combined volume of more than 137GB, the version 

of OS needs to be the Windows 2000 SP-3/Windows XP SP-1 or later. In Windows 98SE/ME, you 

can not make one volume (a partition) more than 137GB or more than 137GB at “a combine 

mode”.
