For redundancy, you can set the drives in RAID 1 to create an exact copy of data onto both drives, which offer a total capacity of 2TB, for preserving data in the event if one drive fails. The Rugged RAID is outfitted with an integrated Thunderbolt cable that transfers data at a rate of 10 Gb/s to your Mac or PC system. in addition when connected via Thunderbolt, the Rugged RAID draws power from this connection without the need for carrying a bulky external power supply. For compatibility, it also comes with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 interface that supports USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 & UAS. To live up to its name, the Rugged is built to withstand drops from 5' when in non-operating mode & an IP 54 rating makes it dust & water resistant.
