FireXpress 350 Dual Combo Aluminum Enclosure w/ 2 x FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394B) & 1 x USB 2.0 Connectors

Description
FireXpress 350 Dual Combo Aluminum Enclosure. Equipped with 2 x FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394B) and 1 x USB2.0 connectors.

The installed hard drives can easily be set up to be seen as two separate drives or used in RAID-0 configuration (IEEE 1394B Only).

The dual hard drives will provide ample storage capacity for any application; it is perfect for storage of graphic design, audio and video files.

The FireXpress 350 Dual Combo has a sleek all aluminum design that utilizes heat convection along with a built-in fan to maximize heat dispersion and keep the hard drives at a cool constant operation temperature.

RAID 0 - is one of the configurations that does not provide redundancy, making it arguably not a true RAID array. Using at least two disks, RAID 0 writes data to the two drives in an alternating fashion, referred to as striping. If you had 8 chunks of data, for example, chunk 1, 3, 5, and 7 would be written to the first drive, and chunk 2, 4, 6, and 8 would be written to the second drive, but all in sequential order.

This process of splitting the data across drives allows for a theoretical performance boost of up to double the speed of a single hard drive, but real world results will generally not be nearly that good.

Since all data is not written to each disk, the failure of any one drive in the array generally results in a complete loss of data. RAID 0 is good for people who need to access large files quickly, or just demand high performance across the board (i.e. gaming systems). The capacity of a RAID 0 array is equal to the sum of the individual drives. So, if two 160GB Seagate drives were in a RAID 0 array, the total capacity would be 320GB.
