Product Features
Technical Overview
The TR-002-US features a Serial ATA/600 storage controller that manages two drive bays, each compatible with 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drives. This controller supports hardware-based RAID configurations, including RAID 0 for striping, RAID 1 for mirroring, and JBOD for individual drive management.
Connectivity is handled by a single USB 3.1 Type-C port, which provides both data transfer and power delivery in a reversible connector design. The system operates on a 36-watt power supply and uses the CIFS/SMB protocol for file sharing compatibility with common operating systems.
Relevant factors for this section include Number of Hard Drives Supported, Number of Hard Drives Installed, Number of Solid State Drive Supported, Number of Total Expansion Bays. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The TR-002-US delivers plug-and-play storage expansion with the reliability of hardware RAID. Its USB Type-C interface ensures modern connectivity, while the desktop design keeps setup simple for individual users or small offices.
These strengths make the product easier to deploy and manage in real environments, especially where reliability, usability, and day-to-day operational continuity matter. Notable benefits include Hardware RAID Simplicity, Flexible Drive Support.
Hardware RAID Simplicity
Built-in hardware RAID eliminates software overhead, offering RAID 0, 1, and JBOD modes for performance, redundancy, or independent drive management without additional configuration tools.
Flexible Drive Support
Accommodates both HDDs and SSDs in 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch formats, allowing users to choose between high-capacity storage or faster solid-state performance based on their needs.
Deployment / Use Cases
This DAS system suits environments where network-attached storage is unnecessary or impractical. It works well for photographers, video editors, or small business users who require local, high-capacity storage with optional redundancy.
The hardware RAID support allows for immediate data protection setups, making it a practical choice for backup rotations or as a secondary storage tier in creative or administrative workflows.
Desktop Storage Expansion
Ideal for users needing extra storage for media files, backups, or project data without investing in a full NAS. The direct USB connection makes it easy to add capacity to a single computer.
RAID-Protected Backup
Use with two drives in RAID 1 mirroring to create a redundant backup solution for critical data, protecting against drive failure while maintaining accessibility via USB.
Physical Profile
The TR-002-US has a compact desktop form factor measuring 6.63 inches high, 4.02 inches wide, and 8.62 inches deep. Its weight of 3.02 pounds makes it portable enough for desk use or occasional relocation. The design includes drive trays with keys for secure installation, and the included USB cable clip helps manage cable clutter.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.63" (168.50 mm), 4.02" (102 mm), 8.62" (219 mm), 3.02 lb (1370 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What types of drives does the TR-002-US support?
The TR-002-US supports two 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or solid-state drives. It is compatible with both HDDs for high-capacity storage and SSDs for faster performance, but drives are not included with the unit.
Does this DAS include hardware RAID?
Yes, the TR-002-US features built-in hardware RAID support. It offers RAID 0 for striping data across two drives to increase performance, RAID 1 for mirroring data to provide redundancy, and JBOD mode to treat each drive independently without RAID configuration.
What is the host interface for connecting to a computer?
This DAS connects via a single USB 3.1 Type-C port. It includes a USB Type-C to Type-A cable in the box, allowing compatibility with computers that have either Type-C or traditional USB-A ports. The interface supports data transfer and power delivery through the same connection.
Is the TR-002-US a network-attached storage (NAS) device?
