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.
