NewerTech’s Guardian MAXimus is the Plug & Play solution that keeps your data safe and reliable with real-time, high performance data redundancy via hardware RAID-1 Mirroring. With its FW800/400+eSATA+USB 2.0 “Quad Interface”, you can connect a “GMAX” to any computer with Plug and Play ease via one of those four connections and it will take care of the rest. This solution is a hardware RAID 1 “Mirror” which automatically keeps your data backed up in real time to protect against a hard disk failure.
LED indicators on the front of the solution indicate the status of the two drives. Should one of the two internal drives experience a malfunction, the unit will still function normally until you can repair it. If the malfunction is a recoverable “soft” type, the Guardian MAXimus will automatically rebuild the mirror, in the background. If the disk failure requires a drive to be replaced, once the new drive is installed, the Guardian MAXimus will automatically rebuild the Mirror without loss of data or additional down time.
Available in capacities of up to 2.0TB of mirrored backup, the Guardian MAXimus is certified for Audio/Video, Graphics, Music, general data needs and more! It’s perfect for the ultimate Time Machine backup, too! With its “Quad” interface, you can easily hook it up to any computer—Mac or PC—and be up and running in no time. You can even use it as a boot drive.
Of course, as with all OWC and Newer Technology storage solutions, we include all the cables so you don’t have to go searching for the right one for your connection choice. On top of that, we include Intech HD Speedtools Utility Suite and the full retail version of Prosoft Engineering DataBackup III for Mac OS X (a $59 retail value) and the full retail version of NovaStor NovaBackup for Windows (a $49 retail value). To top it off, we back it all up with a Three Year NewerTech Solution Warranty.
With all that, the Guardian MAXimus is a great value. Now, though, we’ve made it an even better value with some great new pricing.
