Bruceleeon Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Up for grabs this time is the StarTech InfoSAFE S354UFER: StarTech.com's S354UFER External SATA RAID Enclosure is a high-performance external RAID storage solution, supporting up to 4 high capacity 3.5" SATA hard drives (supports SATA, SATA II and SATA III-6Gbps). The 4-bay RAID enclosure can be connected to the host/source computer through USB, eSATA or FireWire and automatically builds your SATA RAID array based on your selection (Spanning, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1+0, RAID 3, and RAID 5 supported), delivering a simple, yet flexible external storage solution. Designed for convenience, the enclosure features front panel LED indicators that provide RAID information and simple hard drive status and activity monitoring. The enclosure also features a built-in 3-speed 80mm fan with automatic or manual controls that allow you to customize the speed of the fan as necessary, ensuring suitable operating temperatures for optimized drive performance. The StarTech.com Advantage Support for up to 4 drives provide large amounts of storage with a choice of high speed interfaces from USB 2.0, FireWire400/800 or eSATA The removable front cover and accessible drive bays allows drives to be replaced easily in case of failure or upgraded Built-in support for numerous RAID modes for most personal/business needs and an 80mm controllable cooling fan to keep drives from overheating I haven't exactly figured out how or what the stipulations will be to win this as it is a $350.00 item. What are your suggestions?

James86 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 The only thing missing from that is an ethernet port I'd love it if it had networking capabilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasTNT Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Thanks for the opportunity, I'm a video editor and to be able to win this , would be great. Did not know about this site, until today, when I saw the link in TechPowerUp. So far so good, checking out some reviews. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 The InfoSafe has proven to be a great storage solution here. Unfortunately, with all the NAS reviews we are doing lately, I just don't have the HDDs to keep it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlb Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the giveaway!!! I have five (maybe 6?) external USB hard drives that I use for various purposes. Some are fairly small at 80gb, while the largest is 500gb, in the middle I have one or two 250gb and a 320gb (I think - I can't seem to find 'em all at this particular moment). Anyway - this is why I NEED something like this!!! Having all these puny external drives all over the house is lame. I could really REALLY use a storage unit like this! So, thanks again for the giveaway, and good luck to all! (@ james86 - I agree 100% - networking would make this unit even better, but even as it stands, it rocks! You can always hook it up to a PC in a different part of the house and set up a shared/networked drive (or driveS) if needed) Edited August 16, 2011 by dlb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasTNT Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Do any of you have a NAS? Never owned one, but my friend have, its where I first got introduced to video editing. Started with Vegas , now we use Premiere. Mac Pros were out of our budgets, but we dont feel that we're missing out on anything, CS5 is a grade A editing tool.
