Sans Digital has introduced a new direct attached storage enclosure, the TowerRAID TS2UT. The TS2UT is a tray-less, 2-bay storage tower with RAID capabilities. The tray-less feature is designed for fast installation and access of hard drives: each hard drive can easily be installed or removed by opening the front plate handle. A turn-lock located at the front of each handle allows the drives to be secured without the need of screws or other tools. In addition to easy hard drive access, the TS2UT offers users four different RAID modes, FAST (RAID 0), SAFE (RAID 1), JBOD (individual drive access), and BID (spanning). The different RAID modes are selectable by a switch located on the front panel. The TS2UT supports the latest 1TB hard drive and is capable of up to 2TB total in storage capacity. It also supports both USB 2.0 and eSATA interfaces under Windows, Linux and Mac.
The TowerSTOR TS2UT is available now and sells for $120, with no included drives or controller cards. Other options with disks and controller cards are also available at an added cost.
