About Glyph Technologies 2TB RAID Hard Drive, 5400RPM

PortaGig 62 is modeled after it's powerful big brother the GT 062E and offers 2TB in a tiny footprint. With two internal SATA drives available in 5,400 RPM, the PortaGig 62 supports RAID 0, RAID 1 and Spanning modes. A built-in fan keeps the drives cool while Glyph Manager software constantly monitors the drive and enclosure health, notifying you if there is a problem.

Bus-powered with FireWire 800, the PortaGig 62 also includes USB and eSATA ports for optimum compatibility, allowing you to easily work on the road with a reliable RAID. Although eSATA is not a bus-powered interface, you can use the eSATA connection for fast data transfer (up to 177MB/s) while simultaneously using the FireWire 800 connection to power the drive. An external power supply is included with the PortaGig 62 if bus power is not available or is insufficient.
