The FANTEC MR-35HDC provides the following Universal Serial Bus (USB)
features:
USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 specification compliance
For detailed information about USB technology, refer to the following
specifications online:
Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 1.1
Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 2.0
The USB Organization web site is http://www.usb.org/

Populated with two Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs), each unit can
manage as much as 2,000 gigabytes (i.e., 2 terabytes) of data, depending on the
capacity of the hard disk drives that are installed. By combining multiple units in a
daisy-chained hierarchy structure, you can increase the total storage capacity of
your system.

You can configure the FANTEC MR-35HDC to use any of the following Storage
Policies to map the appliance's physical hard drives to virtual drives that are
visible to the host computer. The virtual drives are called volumes in the GUI. The
host operating system treats each volume as if it were a single physical drive.
This virtualization allows you to overcome restrictions that are imposed by
physical hard drives, such as speed, storage capacity or data storage reliability.

The BIG storage policy concatenates a series of physical hard drives as a single
large volume; resulting in a seamless expansion of virtual volumes beyond the
physical limitations of singularly connected hard drives. The BIG storage policy
delivers maximum storage space without a single large capacity and costly hard
drive. Hard drive A and B are concatenated into a single virtual volume in the
figure below with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of each of the
physical hard drives A and B.
