Miglia Technology announces the MediaBank HS-R with FW800 compatibility

Eric Ferraz, Product Marketing Director, Miglia Technology, commented: "Many customers use MediaBank HS-R not only because it protects against a drive failure, but also because it makes backing up your entire drive so easy. By mirroring data on two drives and featuring hot swap capability, completely automates the backup process. All a network manager or user has to do, is to take a hard-drive away to a secure location each night."

Featuring two easily removable hard drive trays and hardware support for Raid 1 (mirroring), the HS-R is one of the most secure FireWire storage solution available today. Data is written to two hard drives simultaneously, preventing total data loss if a drive were to fail. Hardware support for mirroring removes potential software conflicts and guarantees a faultless and automatic backup of your vital data. MediaBank HS-R ships with a spare hard drive tray, allowing you to keep a drive containing all your data in a secure location, which is an automatic backup facility!


Features:

• Hardware support for Raid Level 1 (Mirroring) - Data mirroring and duplication on the two drives inside MediaBank is fully supported by built-in hardware. No additional software is required


• Drives mounted in easily removable trays - To facilitate access for backup or maintenance operations, hard drives are installed in drive trays, which can be removed by simply pulling them out of the case


• Fully automatic drive duplication - Drive duplication is fully automated and made by MediaBank HS-R without any human intervention. You can even duplicate and synchronise data on two drives without the unit being connected to your computer.


• Ships with three hard drive trays for additional offline backup functionality - For maximum data security, you can run a mirror setup and swap the second drive periodically to always have an 'offline' backup


• Runs with one or two hard drives - You can remove one of the two mirrored drives without affecting the availability of your data. HS-R will simply synchronise the second drive as soon as it is inserted


• High Speed ATA-to-FireWire bridge board - For best performance and data availability, HS-R features high speed a FireWire 400 or 800 connectivity
