RAID 1 provides the ultimate in protection and backup for valuable data by mirroring data on both drives. If a drive fails, all data can be restored. Cool & Quiet The energy saving, ambient temperature-controlled smart fan runs only when the CalDigit VR2 needs it most. It runs extremely quiet, ensuring proper airflow and advanced cooling without compromise. In addition, the CalDigit VR2 is designed with an all aluminum enclosure to assist with heat dissipation. The CalDigit VR2 takes advantage of the latest technology, ensuring both a cool and quiet experience. Tapeless Workflow Because the CalDigit VR2 supports both RAID 1 and JBOD, it's the perfect replacement for video tape. Use RAID 1 on set for an instant backup, then each drive module can be read individually with JBOD. The CalDigit VR2 has two hot swappable drive modules, allowing for easy replacement and expansion. Extra drive modules come in handy archive boxes (not included with VR2). Drive modules from the original CalDigit VR are fully compatible with the VR2 and VR2 drive modules are backwards compatible in existing CalDigit VRs. So you'll never have to worry about interchanging your data.
