Sans Digital Introduces 2-Bay Storage Subsystems

Sans Digital, a provider of high performance storage
subsystems, is introducing its exclusive and newly designed MobileSTOR
Plus direct attached compact hard drive storage series that includes
the MS2UT+ / MS2UTN+ 2-bay subsystems. The Mobile Plus series is intended to
bring flexible and affordable storage solutions to home and small
office environments
.

The MobileSTOR Series MS2UT+ (with LCD
display) / MS2UTN+ (without LCD display) is a fully loaded 2-bay
external RAID solution designed for home and small business storage
needs. With simplicity and flexibly in mind, this series is equipped
with two hot-swappable 3.5” hard drive trays, as well as both USB 2.0
and eSATA host interfaces. In addition to JBOD, Spanning, RAID 0 and
RAID 1, MS2UT+ / MS2UTN+ also utilizes the latest Silicon Image 5744
chipset, supporting the newest SAFE33 and SAFE50 technology. SAFE33 and
SAFE50 allows the creation of two hard drive volumes where 1/3 (SAFE33)
or 1/2 (SAFE50) of the volume is used for mirroring and the rest is
used for Spanning (Big). In comparison to SAFE (RAID 1) mode, which
utilizes both hard drives for mirroring, SAFE33 and SAFE50 increase
storage space by setting aside a portion of disk space for regular data
storage while performing mirror simultaneously. By incorporating SAFE33
and SAFE50, MS2UT+ / MS2UTN+ eliminates the cost of additional hard
drives needed for various storage modes.

"Silicon Image is pleased that our
SteelVine storage processors have been chosen by Sans Digital to help
enable the advanced functionality of their MobileSTOR Plus series
storage devices," said Conrad Maxwell, SteelVine Senior Product Line
Manager at Silicon Image. “Sans Digital has a reputation of providing
affordable, state-of-the-art storage solutions and Silicon Image is
proud to be associated with them." The MS2UT+ / MS2UTN+ features
stylish and lightweight aluminum housing, as well as cable-less back
panel design. To reinforce flexibility, individual units are available
in both silver and black to suit personal references and styles.
Both models incorporated operating system independent design with
support for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. “One of Sans Digital’s
primary goal is to lead the storage market with state-of-the-art
technology,” stated Grandy Chen, Sans Digital’s President. “These newly
improved additions to the MobileSTOR series is guaranteed to provide
unparallel performance and value to meet the most intensive data
storage demands.”
