The Ultimate Blend of Professional Performance and Convenience
Install your own set of four matched (same part number) 3.5" Serial ATA (SATA I/II) hard disk drives into this brushed aluminum enclosure with Hardware RAID setting flexibility and experience up to 300MB/s data transfer speed for high performance data storage and redundancy.

User-Selectable Hardware RAID Settings
Thanks to a front panel selector switch, the Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 enables easy configuration of the hardware RAID settings to Span, 0, 1, 5, 10, and JBOD/Independent drive modes so you can select the best combination of speed, capacity, redundancy.

Span

RAID 0 (Stripe)
Data is split into blocks over two or more drives at same time for high speed and large capacity. The ideal RAID setting for demanding video production/editing.

RAID 1 (Mirror)
The same data is written to two drives for highest level of data safety and redundancy.

RAID 5 (Stripe with Parity)
