Newer Technology Guardian MAXimus Mini Review
22.05.12
We all know the benefits of RAID when it comes to data redundancy, but there are times when mobile users may not have access to a home or office NAS and most notebooks don't have multi-bay RAID options. In that case, a portable RAID would be ideal and thanks to Newer Tech, there's an option. The Guardian MAXimus Mini is a dual-bay portable RAID system, designed to be used with 2.5" hard drives or SSDs. Smaller than a brick, the aluminum enclosure offers quad-interface and RAID1 or RAID0 configurations.
The Guardian MAXimus Mini offers several interface options, including USB 2.0, eSATA and FireWire 800/400. All are bus powered, meaning there's no need to tote around anything other than the storage enclosure and a cable in most cases. The eSATA interface does require power over the FireWire port, but Newer Tech also includes a power adapter for those users who want more options.
