The iR2302 features a JBOD independent 3.5-inch bay

 

The iR2302 features a JBOD independent 3.5-inch bay. This allows you to independently interface with multiple hard disks at once, without needing to configure them into a complex RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) system. In this manner, each drive operates as a separate entity, providing you with the flexibility of data management and simplified drive extraction. This feature is highly beneficial for those seeking ease and speed of data accessibility and storage.

 

Dual RAID drives tray features a separate security key lock for enhanced protection

 

Each hard drive tray for RAID in the iR2302 comes equipped with an individual security key lock. This feature adds an extra layer of protection, ensuring the physical security of the stored data. By enabling lock-based access control to each hard drive, it prevents unauthorized removal or tampering of the drives, thereby safeguarding the crucial data stored within.

 

Intensive Multi RAID modes support along with a JBOD independent 3.5-inch bay

 

The iR2302 is a user-friendly RAID module that facilitates easy installation and supports hot-swappable hard drives. With dimensions comparable to a 5.25-inch optical drive, it can be effortlessly integrated into servers, workstations, or industrial computers.

 

Featuring two 2.5” SATA SSDs, the iR2302 can be configured into four RAID modes: RAID 1, RAID 0, JBOD, or SPAN (BIG). Additionally, it can accommodate a JBOD independent 3.5-inch bay as an independent sector, which is ideal for supplementary data backup or data transfer. This versatile two-in-one storage solution ensures both data security and convenient data movement, thereby enriching storage utilization options.

 

Supports both H/W RAID Mode and GUI Mode

 

The iR2302 offers two different ways to set up your RAID configuration. You can use H/W RAID mode if you want to customize your configuration or use the GUI RAID mode with the RAIDGUARD Manager monitoring program to set up different RAID modes. The program provides detailed information about the status of the RAID modules and hard drives, which makes it easy to manage and monitor your system. 

The iR2302 features a unique tray design that simplifies disk installation or removal with its hot-swappable functionality

 

The iR2302's hard disk tray design allows for easy locking of HDDs or SSDs, providing users with the convenience of hot-swapping drives when the system is powered on, making disk or SSD  replacement a breeze. Users can purchase additional hard disk trays and pre-install HDDs or SSDs, ensuring that if a drive encounters an issue; it can be promptly replaced via hot-swapping. This simplifies the replacement process, minimizes system downtime due to drive malfunctions, and enhances operational efficiency.

 

Each iR2302 hard disk tray (for RAID) is equipped with a key lock design that securely fastens the entire tray to the device according to actual usage requirements, preventing it from being easily removed and improving data security.

The efficient heat dissipation fan aids in prolonging the lifespan of disks utilized in the iR2302

 

The iR2302 is equipped with a 4cm silent fan that delivers continuous airflow, efficiently dissipating the heat produced by the SSD or hard disk. By maintaining the SSD or hard disk at ideal operating temperatures consistently, their lifespan is extended, and your data receives enhanced protection.

 

LED light indicators

 

The iR2302 features a separate LED display for each SSD or hard disk, presenting data access status or the condition of the SSD or hard disk concisely. This allows users to stay informed about the overall status of the iR2302 at any time.
