More Information

Here's essentially what I'm looking for:

2 drive, 2.5" preferable
RAID1
USB connection
Integrated controller

Basically, an external raid1 enclosure that functions like a portable hard drive...ie the OS has no idea it's raid/no drivers.

I am in the process of getting one of these right now for my company I work for, they have several flavors (USB, RJ45, eSATA, etc.) of the units, but they use the 3.5" drives, so if you don't mind that too much then these are the way to go! They have an integrated RAID controller which is not seen by the operating system.

I'm looking for something similar. Take a look at Newertech's Gaurdian Maximus raid 1. Looks pretty cool.

I'm looking for something similar but the drives I have are Ultra/ATA (PATA). Question: when shopping for an enclosure, can I use one that supports SATA disks and simply use a conversion cable to mount PATA disks inside... or is this just nonsense?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
