The Arcticroc is a highly versatile RAID system that is available in a 4-Bay Tower model with up to 8 Terabytes of disk storage.  The drives are Hot-Swappable, with transfer speeds of 3 Gbits/s to and from the host. ARCTICROC is also compatible with both Windows® and Macintosh® Operating Systems. (Drives Sold Seperately)

Speed and massive storage capacity are typically cited as the chief benefits of RAID storage management. Real-time redundant backup of data and fault tolerance make RAID a critical part of any enterprise, regardless of size. Commercial enterprises that fail to employ (or use) RAID or disk mirroring can face large costs in the event of disk failure. Upon careful analysis, potential adopters of RAID technology will discover that the greatest cost of disk failure is the accumulated long term loss of data and subsequently loss of time and money. Designed for professional users and the enterprise sector, the newly released 4-Bay Arcticroc Tower RAID systems helps prevent data loss and streamlines storage management.

The RAID 5 mode provides a fault tolerance feature. It requires a minimum of 3 drives in an array. In case one of the disks fails, the malfunctioning disk can be replaced with a new one. The source data can then be reconstructed back through parity calculation. RAID 0+1 mode stripes the data first and then mirrors the data. It provides another mode to achieve higher performance and data security.
