Two 300 GB removable solid-state drives. 
These appliances are redundant array of independent disks (RAID) devices. In a RAID

than two seconds to turn off the power. 

 

Two power supplies, each rated at 1000 watts, 100-240 volts. Each power supply has 
an LED that indicates the status of the power supply, as described in
