The modern trayless capability of the SmartGuider provides a unique and easy way of HDD removal and installation. All you have to do is simply lift the handle to pop out the HDD. The SmartGuider makes storage management as easy as lifting a handle. Auto-limiting segmented screws utilized for the SmartGuider prevent HDD damage due to over-tightening.
 
The DataTale RAID Systems brings a distinctive enclosure design to the natural world of today. The upright positioning of the high RPM SATA HDDs maximizes airflow by exhausting hot air through the top opening using quiet fans. Together with vents and rugged elegance of the aluminum case, the entire DataTale housing creates an economical and efficient channel for heat dissipation. The thermally efficient aluminum also maintains optimal HDD operating temperature, prolonging the life of high RPM SATA HDDS.
 
The RS-M2QO and RS-M4QO also highlight features normally reserved for the professionals. Four interface connectivity to the host via USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and eSATA, allow the most popular and immediate operations in all configurations.

Like all RAID Systems, the RS-M2QO and RS-M4QO support SATA II compliant HDD and provide full backward compatibility for SATA 1.0 and SATA 1.0a HDDs. The DataTale Enclosures make quick work of any storage intensive task with the support of Hi-Speed USB data transfer speed of up to 480Mbps via USB 2.0 connection, FireWire data transfer speed of up to 400Mbps via FireWire 400 connection, and FireWire800 data transfer speed of up to 800Mbps, and eSATA data transfer speed of up to 3.0Gbps via eSATA connection.

The DataTale systems eliminate the RAID learning curve. Using the powerful storage management of the DataTale is as easy and familiar as using a single bay external enclosure. Simply install the SmartGuider handles on to the HDDs, set the RAID mode via the RAID mode switch, select the HDD number via the HDD switch, connect the cables, and turn on the power for massive storage capacity, redundancy or instant real-time backups. DataTale systems eliminate the need for software GUI installation and provide onboard LED indicators for easy verification of operating status. The RS-M2QO and RS-M4QO models offer advanced RAID storage management options: including RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), and JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) for the 2 bay, and additional RAID 5, RAID 5+HotSpare, and RAID 0+1 for the 4-bay.
