Connect Almost Anywhere with USB, Firewire & eSATA

The iT4 UFERCF comes with high speed USB and Firewire ports so you can connect to your data at almost any computer station you want. Even better, this unit comes equipped with eSATA connection so you can reach speeds of more than 200 MB/s 5 — that's more than twice the speed of Firewire 800.6

The Power of RAID 5 Protection

With RAID 0, you get better performance. With RAID 5, you get better protection with data redundancy. With RAID 5, you get the advantages of both worlds and more: data redundancy for better performance and protection against single-drive failure, with more total hard drive capacity.

A Built-in High Speed CF Card Reader

It's time to skip the hassle of extra hardware. Sporting a 3 Gb/s high speed eSATA CF Card Reader on the front, the iT4 UFERCF makes life that much easier for creative professionals in photography or the digital arts.
