Price Drop on GMAX “Quad Interface” is Better than Flowers & Candy

Friday, February 18th, 2011 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

In a (slightly late) celebration of Valentine’s Day, we’re giving you a double-dose of Price Drop love, and because such a large part of love is safety, this “extra” price drop is the award winning Newer Technology Guardian MAXimus. It’s the perfect way to keep your cherished digital snapshots and love songs (along with less-endearing things like spreadsheets, reports and emails from your boss) safe and sound.

The NewerTech Guardian MAXimus RAID-1 FW800/400+eSATA+USB2 ‘Quad Interface’ solution is a hardware RAID 1 ‘Redundant Mirror’ which automatically keeps your data backed up in real time to protect against a hard disk failure. Should a drive ever experience a malfunction, normal data operation continues seamlessly. If the malfunction is a recoverable ‘soft’ type, the Guardian MAXimus will rebuild the mirror (also without data interruption) automatically. If the disk failure requires a drive to be replaced, once the new drive is installed. the Guardian MAXimus will automatically rebuild the Mirror while you use it.

In addition to the benefits of Hardware RAID 1 Mirroring, these solutions are fully certified for Audio/Video, Backup, Graphics, Music, General Data needs and more! Article Continues…

Price Drops on GMAX Make RAID 1 Even More Affordable!

Friday, October 8th, 2010 | Author: OWC NewsFeed

How much of your data is completely irreplaceable? Now, how much of your data could you replace, but it would be a monumental investment of time and effort to do so? Between those two, I bet that’s a lot of data.

Obviously, the best way to guard against data loss is to have a functional backup strategy, but manual backups (or even scheduled ones) are only as good as the last time they were run. That’s where the Guardian MAXimus comes in.

The NewerTech Guardian MAXimus RAID-1 FW800/400+eSATA+USB2 ‘Quad Interface’ solution is a hardware RAID 1 ‘Redundant Mirror’ which automatically keeps your data backed up in real time to protect against a hard disk failure.
