Trans International has released the Pro Drive, a storage enhancement solution for the Mac Pro. Pro Drive enclosures are designed to enhance the performance of Mac Pro internal drives.
The Pro Drive is a dual drive RAID enclosure accommodates up to two 2.5-inch SATA hard drives. It can be used as redundant drive to protect against drive failure (RAID1) or Striped to become one high performance drive (RAID 0). RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations are controlled by a dip switch accessible on the back of the unit.
When four Pro Drives (eight physical notebook 7200RPM drives) are Striped (RAID 0) together, they can achieve more than 400MB/second of data transfer. Or they can be used as individual volumes with RAID 1 for automatic, instant data security, according to the folks at Trans.
