Product Features
Technical Overview
This DAS storage system features a 2-bay design that accommodates both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drives, supporting a total capacity of 8TB. The integrated RAID controller enables multiple storage configurations, including RAID 0 for striping performance, RAID 1 for mirroring redundancy, Concatenation for combining drives, and JBOD for treating each drive independently. This versatility allows IT administrators to tailor the storage setup to specific workload requirements, whether prioritizing speed or data protection.
Connectivity is handled through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C host interface, which provides theoretical transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps for efficient data access and backup operations. The system includes three USB ports, offering additional peripheral connectivity. Built with a fireproof and waterproof enclosure, the Duo meets rigorous durability standards, ensuring data remains intact even in adverse environmental conditions.

FAQ
What is the total storage capacity of the ioSafe Duo?
The ioSafe Duo supports a total hard drive capacity of 8TB. This is achieved through two drive bays, each accommodating a 4TB hard drive in the default configuration, providing ample space for backups, media files, or archival data in a desktop storage setup.
Which RAID levels does this DAS system support?
This system supports RAID 0 for striping (performance), RAID 1 for mirroring (redundancy), Concatenation for combining drives into a single volume, and JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) for treating each drive independently. This flexibility allows users to choose the optimal balance of speed, capacity, and data protection based on their needs.
How does the fireproof and waterproof feature work?
The ioSafe Duo is built with a specialized enclosure designed to withstand fire and water exposure. The fireproof construction protects the internal drives from high temperatures, while waterproof sealing prevents liquid ingress. This ensures data remains intact in common office hazards, providing an extra layer of physical security beyond typical desktop storage.
What type of USB connection does it use?
