The FatCage MB901SPR-B R1 is a dual bay RAID 1 & JBOD enclosure that supports 2 x 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD or 3.5" SATA hard drive in a 2 x 5.25" optical drive bay of your computer/workstation/rackmount system. The MB901SPR-B R1 is equipped with built-in hardware RAID chipset and easy-to-read RAID status LED indicators, letting you effortlessly mirror the 2.5" or 3.5" drives for data redundancy and monitoring the RAID status without pairing with a RAID card or using RAID monitoring software. In addition, the built-in RAID chipset does all the calculations without using the system resources, which improves the system's performance compared to motherboard RAID or software RAID. Finally, the removable drive trays and hot-swap feature let you replace a failed drive without shutting down the system, making the MB901SPR-B R1 a perfect drive enclosure for any mission-critical computing system, such as industrial automation systems and file server systems.
Built-In RAID 1 & JBOD
With the built-in JMS562 RAID chipset, you can effortlessly add a RAID 1 array to any computer system that uses a SATA connection without needing a RAID controller card or RAID-compatible motherboard. Simply connect the FatCage RAID enclosure to the system's SATA and power ports, insert 2 x 2.5" or 3.5" drive, and the FatCage automatically mirror the drives for data redundancy to prevent data loss or system downtime caused by a hard drive failure. In addition, the newly added JBOD mode allows you to view two individual drives (SATA port multiplier required) or erase the RAID table from the drives without using drive-erasing software or MS-DOS commands.
Advanced RAID Status LED Indicators
The FatCage RAID MB901SPR-B R1 is equipped with easy-to-read RAID status LED indicators for RAID 1 health monitoring during the operation so users can quickly grasp the live RAID status without installing the RAID monitoring software. However, if your application requires using RAID monitoring software, it is available for download and installation on Windows/Mac computers.
EZ-Tray Removable Drive Trays
The FatCage RAID MB901SPR-B R1 features removable EZ-Tray drive trays, allowing the user to install or remove drives without opening the computer case or powering off the computer. The EZ-Tray supports both 2.5" SSD/HDD and 3.5" hard disk drive and is compatible with FatCage and DataCage enclosures, including DataCage MB876SK-B (1x Drive), FatCage MB153SP-B (3x Drive), and MB155SP-B (5x Drive). This allows you to continue using the same drive trays from these enclosures and exchange drives between systems without unmounting the drive from the tray.
EMI Grounding
Making sure your drives are properly grounded is important, especially through many drive swaps. Without it, there is a high possibility that static shocks could damage your drives and result in losing important data. Our EMI grounding technology ensures a stable and safe environment for the SSD/HDD used, which improves reliability.
Packed with Features
Large ventilation holes are placed around the enclosure to work alongside your system's cooling system to keep your drives at optimal temperatures.
