For people working with large multi-media files, space is at a premium. This complicates matters when a hard drive eventually fails. Even if you made a backup, restoring Tera- Byte sized files can take days! That’s why it’s crucial to employ a RAID solution. RAID 5 --in particular-- is tolerant of drive failures, provides approximately 70% usable drive- space, and delivers blistering throughput in excess of 120 MB/ second. For home media collections or professional media

workgroups, the CADA-U3E4 and its native RAID 5 mode is the best way to ensure the safety of your most valuable files.
