With the DupliDisk RAIDcase, virtually any PC user can now have the security of a redundant drive that can take over instantly in the event of a disk crash. Two removable drive caddies provide easy front access to mirrored drives. If a hardware failure disables one of the mirrored drives, the other takes over automatically. External LEDs change color to indicate a failed drive and an audible alarm alerts the user of the drive failure but there is no interruption of service. The system continues to function normally until the user can find a convenient time to power down and install a new drive.
Caddies remove easily to facilitate replacement of failed drives.
ARCO's ACP software provides a quick and easy way to rebuild the new drive. The RAIDcase requires neither an ISA nor a PCI bus slot. IDE and power cables provided by Arco connect the RAIDcase to the computer's onboard IDE controller and power supply. Once installed, the RAIDcase operates transparently, providing continuous automatic hard disk backup and disk fault tolerance. Because it requires no device drivers, the RAIDcase is essentially operating-system independent.
