The STARDOM SR2-SB2 is a RAID enclosure specifically designed to utilize dual hard drives and supports RAID 1 (mirroring). This device is intended to ensure data redundancy and security. Here are the comprehensive details about this model:
Technical Details
1. Model Name: STARDOM SR2-SB2
2. Manufacturer: STARDOM
3. Form Factor: RAID enclosure for 2 x 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch hard drives/SSDs
4. Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.0) and eSATA (if available)
5. RAID Modes: RAID 1 (mirroring)
6. Compatibility: Supports both SATA HDDs and SSDs, up to 8 TB per drive, depending on hard drive sizes and firmware compatibility.
Features
1. RAID 1 (Mirroring):
- Data Redundancy: RAID 1 provides a mirroring of the data on both hard drives, allowing one hard drive to act as an exact copy of the other. This protects against data loss if one hard drive fails.
- Read Speed: Increases read performance by allowing data to be read from both hard drives simultaneously.
2. Interfaces:
- USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0): Provides transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps, enabling high data transfer rate.
- eSATA (if present): Provides direct connection to SATA drives and can achieve faster speeds than USB if supported.
3. Capacity & Flexibility:
- Supported Drives: Accepts up to two 3.5" or 2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs.
- Hot Swap: Some models support hot swap, allowing drives to be changed without turning off the system. Check depending on the specific model and firmware.
4. LED Indicators:
- Status LEDs: Indicate the status of the drives and RAID array, including readiness, error status, and RAID synchronization.
5. Cooling:
- Fan: Often equipped with an integrated fan to ensure effective cooling of the drives during operation and prevent overheating.
6. Management and Configuration:
- RAID Management: Provides easy management of the RAID configuration via a hardware RAID controller integrated into the chassis.
- Firmware: The RAID firmware can support configurations and updates that can be accessed via the USB port.
Application Scope
1. Data Backup and Recovery:
- Redundancy: Ideal for ensuring data integrity through mirroring. Prevents data loss by having a mirrored copy of the data on the second hard drive.
2. Small and medium businesses:
- Data archiving: Useful for archiving important business data and protecting against hardware failures.
- Collaboration: Facilitates secure data sharing within teams as a redundant copy of the data is always available.
3. Home users:
- Backup solutions: Ideal for home users who need a reliable backup solution for their personal data.
- Multimedia storage: Can be used to store large amounts of photos, videos and music, with a redundant copy available.
4. Creative and multimedia professionals:
- Data storage: Useful for photographers, videographers and designers who store large amounts of data while requiring reliable backup.
5. Limited Downtime:
- System Upgrades: If a drive fails, RAID 1 enables continuous data availability and reduces downtime for maintenance or hard drive replacement.
Physical Specifications
1. Dimensions:
- Case Size: Depends on model, typically 140mm x 90mm x 220mm (W x H x D)
2. Weight:
- Approximately 1.5 to 2 kg, depending on construction and components installed.
3. Case Material:
- Material: Often made of aluminum or robust plastic for durability and heat dissipation.
4. Cooling:
- Fan: Integrated fan to cool the drives, especially during extended periods of operation and intensive use.
Additional Details
- Compatibility:
- Operating Systems: Support for common operating systems such as Windows, macOS and Linux. Some operating systems may require special software to utilize all RAID features.
- Power Supply:
- Adapter: Typically powered by an external power adapter to provide the required power to the hard drives.
- Warranty:
- Typically 1 to 2 years warranty, depending on manufacturer and region terms.
