Reengineered from the Ground Up
A 2-Bay RTX has never been better! As a direct replacement for the RTX200H-QR, the RTX220-QR still provides a fast way to mirror (RAID 1), stripe (RAID 0) or create a quick backup disk. In addition we've updated the RAID controller, gave it a new menu system, a handle, and included a companion utility to customize fan and alarm behavior.
Configurator Software
We listened to requests from customers in various climates, who wanted us to change the default behavior of the RTX fans and alarms. Some wanted to be notified more quickly if their drive is getting too hot, and some, who were using solid state drives in the desert, never wanted to be notified (they knew that it would be hot, and that it wouldn't matter). We've written companion software (Win/Mac compatible) that will allow you to configure at what temperatures the warning LEDs turn on, fans spin up, and/or audible alarms sound.
How to rotate through backup disks:
Remember - a mirror, while it does protect you against a hard drive failure, does not inherently offer a backup. Keeping a separate copy of your data on another hard drive (in this case a 3rd hard drive), helps protect you from data corruption and accidental file deletion. This is easily accomplished with an RTX220-QR in mirror mode. Simply unmount the volume to stop all write activity, remove one of the two drives, and then insert a third drive. You can remount your RTX immediately - and as you work, the RTX will "recover" by automatically copying your data to the inserted drive. The drive you removed can be treated as a backup that you can archive in a fire proof safe, off-site and away from the original data. Any time you choose, you can access the information on your backup disk with another enclosure, such as a 1 bay RTX or ToughTech.
