The Welland ME-580J is the most complete dual-drive RAID solution for creative professionals and office workstations that need storage capacity, speed, and advanced data protection. To comply with the Mac or PC system, this high-performance dual-drive RAID enclosure offers USB or eSATA connections. The RAID setup switch on the rear of ME-580J is capable of easily configuring the 4 function modes ( RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, Individual ). The front luminous LEDs are not only pleasing to the eye, but also indicates the real-time status of the drives enclosed within.
The heavy duty metal construction not only protects the hard drive, but also effectively dissipates excess heat. The built-in FAN also provides powerful cooling to the drives and enhances the reliability of this dual-drive RAID system. The unique HDD tray not only holds the drive securely, but also efficiently prevents the HDD from vibration. The high performance TERA RAID enclosure exceeds expectations in quality and value.

About Supported RAID Mode of ME-580J :
Individual Mode : Non-RAID , There will be only independent drives. This is the default setting of ME-580J. No matter one hard drive or two hard drives are installed. (Port Multiplier function) Note: The failure of one disk will not affect the other disk. Therefore, the data of the working drive will be intact as it is.
JBOD MODE : The two physical drives are combined as one large single volume which is offering maximum capacity (from the available capacities of each disk) Note: If 1 physical disk fails, the data on both disks will be inaccessible. If the data security is the most concern, RAID 1 is recommended.
RAID 0 MODE (FAST) : 2 physical drives are stripped as 1 larger logical volume , RAID 0 offers the maximum possible capacity like in JBOD mode with greater speed than JBOD mode (each disk runs faster to a certain level). Note : If 1 drive fails, the data on both disks will become inaccessible. Note : When installing 2 unequal drive, the capacity is double of the smaller drive.
RAID 1 MODE (SAFE) : RAID 1 is the automated process of writing data to multiple drives simultaneously. It is used to provide redundancy. If one drive fails, the redundant drive(s) will rebuild the data. The failed drive can then be replaced and the drive set can be re-mirrored. Note: When installing 2 equal drives, the capacity is equal to one of the two drives. Note: When installing 2 unequal drives, the capacity is the smaller one.
