  WiebeTech, a Brand of CRU-DataPort Announces
  New RTX™400-QR

    Just Say No To Network Attached Storage (NAS)! RTX400-QR
    Let's face it - Networked or "shared" storage is a great feature but most NAS devices are just too slow for many applications. 3MB/s for a NAS device is common and 10MB/s is considered fast. Direct Attached Storage (DAS) performs much faster yet still has the ability to be "shared". The new RTX400-QR can transfer data to your computer at speeds exceeding 100MB/s. That's 10X faster than "fast" NAS devices.

    • RAID Huge Volumes in a Transportable Enclosure
    • Quad Interface - FireWire 400/800 and USB 2.0 or fast eSATA
    • Huge Storage Capacity - Up to 6TB With 1.5 Terabyte Drives
    • Quiet Operation - New, Quiet Fans
    • Rugged & Portable - Take it on the Go With a New Handle Design

    Want it on a network? No Problem.
    A computer connected to a storage device (such as the RTX400) can share data over a network. The user is directly connected to the device will see the highest data transfer rates - while other users on the network will have access to the volume as fast as the network will allow.

   Are You Still Burning Discs?

    Still Burning Discs? Time spent burning optical discs costs you more than one may realize. DVDs are convenient, but average 30 minutes to prepare files and burn. Furthermore, DVDs are easily damaged and do not have long term reliability you might expect.

    Since optical media takes up too much time, more and more IT consultants and business professionals are using Disk-to-Disk back-up enclosures. See below why using a CRU-DataPort enclosure with rugged removable drive carriers or a WiebeTech RTX™ enclosure featuring TrayFree™ hot-swap bays, are easier, cost-effective and faster alternatives.

    Archiving directly to hard drives is becoming as commonplace as giving hard drives directly to clients. RTX makes it easy to utilize a hard drive in the manner once reserved for floppy disks.
