Bruceleeon 0 Report post 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).

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.

ThomasTNT 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruceleeon 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlb 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomasTNT 0 Report post 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.
