SANS DIGITAL TOWER RAID TR4UT INTRODUCTION
As a PC technician, one of the most common complaints I hear is “my computer crashed and I lost all my files!” Unfortunately, chances are good that at some point we all will experience a hard drive crash, but loss of data does not necessarily have to be the end result. Hard drives with hundreds of gigs of storage can be had on the cheap right now, so if storage and backup is on your short list of projects, now is the time to do it. Whether you back up files to a USB drive, NAS, or an enclosure like the one in today's review, you'll have peace of mind knowing there's an extra copy of your data stored on an external device.
On my desk for review today is the TR4UT TowerRAID storage enclosure from Sans Digital. It supports up to four hard drives with a maximum capacity of 8TB, with several configuration options including RAID 0, 1, 10, 3, 5, Clone with Hot Spare, and JBOD. There's also the option of using the USB or eSATA interface to transfer files. Don't have an eSATA port on your system? No worries, because Sans Digital includes a PCIe eSATA controller card with the enclosure. Let's take this storage unit for a test run, shall we?
