General Features

Mobile RAID

The StudioRAID mini supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 modes using a hardware controller that can be configured using a switch on the back of the array, as well as fast transfer rates over USB 3.0, FireWire 800, and eSATA. It is bus-power-capable so you can work almost anywhere and with intelligent fan cooling and automatic health monitoring, you’ll spend more time creating and less time worrying.

RAID 0 is an operating mode designed for fast transfer rates by striping the data across two drives, while RAID 1 is used for redundancy, as it instantly and automatically mirrors your data

Four Times Faster than FireWire

With transfer speeds up to 250 MB/s, the StudioRAID mini offers USB 3.0 performance. This means faster editing, quick rendering, more tracks, more samples, and a more efficient workflow

Disk Health Monitoring

Custom sensors monitor the health of your StudioRAID mini, warning you of activity patterns that indicate potential problems with your drive. An LED on the front panel will display solid blue when power is on and flash blue when there is disk activity. The LED will flash or display a solid red color when error conditions exits with the drive or enclosure. Any error that results in the system state “Halted” generates a solid red LED on the front panel of the drive. All other errors result in the blinking red LED.


Intelligent Fan Cooling

The StudioRAID mini uses a temperature-controlled quiet fan for maximum airflow and proper cooling. The enclosure has been designed with front-panel ventilation to draw cool air in, while exhausting warm air out the back. This helps to ensure the performance and reliability of critical components
