MAXimum Performance & Compatibility
NewerTech Guardian MAXimus mini RAID-1 mirror storage solution provides maximum Plug-and-Play "Live Activity" data backup and protection in a space-saving mini footprint. In the pre-configured RAID-1 MAXProtect mode, Guardian MAXimus mini guards against data loss and costly system downtime by writing the same information in real-time to create a "mirrored" copy of up to 1.0TB of data.
MAXProtect or MAXPerform, Your Choice
For those seeking performance over redundancy, Guardian MAXimus mini can be easily switched via the LCD screen menu to the RAID-0 MAXPerform mode for up to 2.0TB of high performance storage. Whatever your preference, Guardian MAXimus mini offers MAXimum performance, flexibility, and reliability for critical data backup
MAXimum Portability
Guardian MAXimus mini is ready to go, wherever you need a storage sentinel on duty featuring a shock resistant, compact design. With a super small 5.2" x 3.5" x 2.1" footprint and weighing as little as 1.24 pounds with drives, the Guardian MAXimus mini provides maximum data protection with minimal use of desktop space.
Why You Need Guardian MAXimus mini RAID-1
Guardian MAXimus mini is "live activity" backup of financial records, medical files, business projects...any critical data that you simply cannot risk losing. It's always guarding against data loss by writing the same information in real-time to two separate drives for a "mirrored" copy. It also protects you from costly system downtime and data restoring after a single hard drive-equipped system crash. Even daily scheduled software driven data backups can't protect you between your last backup and the moment the hard drive fails. By having a second, "mirrored" copy, all of your data stays backed up and accessible while you replace the failed drive. |
