The Macpower Taurus 4TB External HDD
4TB RAID Hard Drive with Carry Case (Firewire 800/400/USB/eSATA/RAID)
When it comes to raw power there is nothing to beat the dual-bay Taurus. The Taurus has been designed to be strong and durable, while at the same time remaining aesthetically appealing. More importantly, it offers more than enough capacity to store all your digital media files. Along with abundant storage capacity, the Taurus Super-S LCM can also back up and secure all of your data thanks to RAID protection. Adding to its appeal is the user friendly LCD display, allowing the user to easily check the device status, monitor its performance and customize its settings.
Features:
Versatile Interface
The Taurus comes with an extremely versatile interface, featuring eSATA, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 High Speed. To increase performance and data throughput, "RAID 0 - Striping" offers the ideal choice for your daily backup and other data transfers. For important data and reliability, you can't beat the "RAID 1 - Mirroring" function, which will automatically create a copy of all the data in case one of the drives fails. To keep your drives cool, the Taurus is using a smart fan, which automatically regulates fan speed according to the internal temperature, yet still offers the option to be set at a fixed speed depending on your requirements.
