Use Your SSDs In or Outside Your Case, Anytime

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Flexibility is key, and Patriot Memory's ConvoyXL delivers just that.


The small little box from Patriot Memory fits in a 3.5-inch standard HDD drive bay and will house not one, but two SSD drives. The coolest part of the housing however, is that it has connectors for both internal and external SATA as well as USB 2.0. The ConvoyXL also supports RAID modes 0 and 1 for either performance or security.

The ConvoyXL will allow you to remove your SSDs out of a SATA configuration and move over to a USB configuration, in case you're on the go, or want to say, transfer files to a notebook computer quickly.

Best of all, the ConvoyXL fully supports hot-swapping not only on the entire unit itself, but you're also able to remove the individual SSDs from the front of the drive.

Since when has RAID (of any kind) been a security feature of a storage system?

Do you guys EVER get anything right, ever?

Security against data loss maybe?

Think before you speak.

That isn't security its redundancy (and hence the R in RAID).

It may be redundancy, but the term "data security" often implies integrity as well. It's a colloquialism.

But, I'm just annoyed that even if that is so, RAID0 isn't actually redundant. It's more like AID0 than RAID0.
