RAID Protection
Thanks to the secure RAID modes, including RAID 5, RAID 3
and RAID 10, the 4big Quadra enables you to keep data access
even if one disk fails. The hot-swappable disk trays even allow
maintenance without affecting your workflow. “Spare” modes allow
a second level of protection; a sort of “automatic maintenance”
that will immediately start rebuilding the RAID protection in case of
a disk failure. Extra spare disks are also available as an option for
immediate replacement.
Terabytes of Power

for professionals who demand exceptional performance from
a storage device. Offering up to 12TB of capacity and amazing
bandwidth speeds through eSATA 3Gb/s and FireWire 800, it also
features FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 ports for maximum compatibility
with any Mac
®
or PC. Featuring seven RAID modes
to customize performance and data protect ion levels, the
4big Quadra fits most speed-demanding applications and backup
needs for today’s workstations and small servers.
RAID Performance
Taking advantage of a native RAID controller that preserves
computer resources, the 4big Quadra offers superior support
for the most demanding applications. Pre-configured in RAID 0
for full speed and capacity, it can reach up to 260MB/s through
