2-3 Environmental requirement and notices
1. Vanguard IIIS allows users the flexibility to select different spec’ed and size storage

3. SATA interface is much faster than USB 2.0 at RAID 0 mode in terms of data transfer,
average transfer rate could reach 100 MB/sec. If faster speed and better efficiency in data
