WiebeTech ships RT5 eSATA RAID

WiebeTech has begun shipping its RT5 eSATA RAID device that allows any five PATA (IDE) drives to create a single volume as large as 3.75TB. The RT5 eSATA features a built-in RAID controller that supports RAID levels 0, 0+1, 3, 5 (including hot spare options) and an eSATA connection that eliminates volume size limitations. Users can load bays with five IDE drives up to 750GB each for a single logical volume of up to 3.75TB. The storage solution offers many of the same features available on WiebeTech's RT5 series, such as a password protected button-driven menu on the front. A built-in alarm lets users know immediately when a drive fails, and the enclosure boasts sturdy aluminum and steel construction. The RT5 eSATA is priced from $1,700 for the base unit without drives, up to $4,150 for 3.75TB of storage.
