Fantom Drives, by MicroNet an innovator in storage solutions for the consumer and prosumer markets, today introduced the DataDock II™, a high-speed, low-cost portable dual drive hardware RAID storage solution that is ideal for creative professionals and super-users who want hassle-free RAID storage they can use anywhere. The DataDock II blends best-in-class capacity and performance while providing four interface options and two hot-swappable 3.5-inch SATA II removable hard drives available in 1TB, 2TB and 3TB configurations.
Designed to meet the ever-increasing storage needs of professionals, including digital photographers, audio/video editors and graphic designers, the DataDock II combines a unique blend of functionality and ease-of-use for both primary and secondary data. Unlike single-drive backup solutions, this solution adds data protection/security and the flexibility to choose redundancy with RAID 1 or the performance of RAID 0. DataDock II’s RAID 1 (mirroring) simultaneously writes data to two independent hard drives – giving users immediate data recovery when needed. If a drive fails, users can continue to access their data while the failed drive is replaced. Data Dock II’s RAID 0 (striping) allows users to write data across both drives for increased performance.
The DataDock II utilizes Oxford Semiconductor’
A durable aluminum enclosure with a low noise DC fan makes this little unit (9.75 inches long by 5 inches wide by 2.5 inches high) quiet and cool. DataDock II is compatible with Apple Time Machine*, and comes with NTI Shadow* backup software.
MicroNet/Fantom Drives offers optional DataDock II hot-swappable spare drive modules that come with a protective carrying case to keep the module free of dust and moisture.
“The DataDock II is a perfect fit for creative professionals who are looking for outstanding data storage functionality at a very affordable price,” said Terry Paoli, Marketing Communications Manager, MicroNet/Fantom Drives. “This product meets those demands with superior performance, secure data protection, high capacity storage and tremendous ease-of-use at an unbeatable price.”
The DataDock II is available now through authorized Ingram Micro VARs and selected e-tailers. The product comes in 1TB, 2TB and 3TB configurations, with MSRP starting at $299.00.
