Raidon (http://www.raidon.com.tw) has unveiled the MR-2020, a 2.5-inch, internal RAID module. It accepts two 2.5-inch hard drives and supports RAID 1.
Its small form factor matches with 5.25-inch CD-ROM device and saves half the space a 3.5-inch product needs, according to the folks at Raidon. A 2.5-inch hard drive also consumes one half less power than a 3.5-inch does, they add.
The MR2020 is also an embedded RAID controller to provide RAID function for preventing data failed. Accepting two hard drives and coming with RAID 1 (Mirroring), as either hard drive is failed, the system will keep running with the backup one and alert the user to replace the failed hard drive. The failed hard drive can be substituted without turning off the system.
The MR2020 comes with tray modules that can accept a 15mm height 2.5-inch hard drive. The hard drives can be replaced because of its hot swappable tray design and auto-rebuilding function. Contact Raidon for pricing options.
