Verbatim’s 2-Disk RAID external hard drive has user selectable RAID options: BIG / RAID 0 or RAID 1.
In RAID BIG mode, the full capacity is seen as 1 BIG Drive with 1 drive letter assigned to it. It fill up one of the Hard Disk’s before starting on the other one.
RAID 0 - Striping, offers improved Read/Write times. The full capacity is still seen as 1 drive letter, but the data is split equally across both of the drives.
RAID 1 - Mirroring, is great for data security. Each drive’s content is duplicated, so there are two copies of the same data. The maximum capacity is that of one of the Hard Disks within the RAID drive. 1 drive letter is assigned to the drive.

This Western Digital 2TB external hard drive has lightning fast data transfer combined with truly massive storage. The FireWire 800 interface combined with RAID 0 protection provides the speed you need for large file transfers. It also has USB 2.0, Firewire 400 and eSATA connections.
The drive is cooler, quieter and eco-friendlier using GreenPower drives, this system uses about 30% less energy than standard systems and runs quietly because it doesn’t need a fan.
It has intelligent drive management features such as automatic power-up, safe shutdown, and LED status and activity lights. All this makes the drive especially easy to use.
The drive can be used with 2 forms of data protection. The first is RAID 0 which stripes data across both 1 TB drives. this gives you a massive 2TB of storage with the added RAID protection. The second option is RAID 1. This mirrors data from one drive to the other, giving you a total backup of your data. However this reduces the storage to a still huge 1TB.
It comes formatted for Apple Mac systems and is compatible with Apple’s Time Machine. It includes software and instructions for reformatting to Windows.
