For SATA Hard Drives - RAID or JBOD     

   Oxford 924 Bridge - 1394b - FW800
     For the Fastest Possible Performance - 800Mb/sec!

Firewire 800    + Firewire 400    + USB2 compatibility   RAID0, RAID1 and Spanning

  The finest Firewire Enclosure you can get. A rock solid steel enclosure with a mongo power supply and superb cooling. All at a low price.

  Incorporating the best bridge board made today: the Oxford 924, it natively uses high speed SATA drives for best possible performance. Perfect for a Video or Audio RAID. Great for Photo libraries or backup storage. The 924 has built in RAID capabilities with Striped RAID0, Mirrored RAID1 and Spanning as available options via jumpers on the bridge. With SATA every drive is on an individual channel giving the best capabilities for RAID performance.

  This is the perfect backup solution when used with Time Machine, Apple's new backup system. Time Machine runs an incremental backup every hour, so you will need a storage enclosure that is not only capable of holding enough drives to meet your capacity requirements but also needs to be up and running 24 hours a day. The Burly Firewire enclosure is the right tool for that job. Plug it in, designate it as the Time Machine drive or drives, and leave it to do its thing. Couldn't be easier.

   Typically you should plan the capacity of a Time Machine backup volume to be a lot bigger than the storage volumes it is backing up. This is because Time Machine keeps a running record of everything going back in time. The more storage your backup volume has the further back Time Machine can maintain. As you run out of backup space, Time Machine will delete older files to make room for new.

   Note: Performance is superior using software RAID with OSX Disk Utility or Windows RAID Manager software and not the firmware RAID configured using the bridge RAID configurations.
