Thunderbolt | eSATA | USB3.0 Five SATA trayless. driverless hardware RAID/JBOD enclosure with DirectAir (tm) technology Review

I had been researching a RAID system to use for my business needs for two months. I had looked at the Pegasus systems, Western Digital, Lacie and an Areca unit. I didn't even bother with Drobo or a NAS system, as my needs are for a high speed system that works with my software [Lightroom doesn't really like NAS systems].

The Pegasus units, while nice, had a sub-par warranty and even after contacting the manufacturer direct I could still not find out if the drives that came with the unit were consumer or enterprise level. Add to that, I know a number of colleagues who have had issues getting the Pegasus units to work smoothly with their Macs, I was not keen on this product.

The WD and Lacie units were plenty capable on speed and size, however minimal control and I was looking for a system with more than just RAID 0 or 1 setups.

The Areca 8-bay unit is impressive, however I didn't need that much storage, and couldn't justify the price over the DAToptic unit based solely on that. DAToptic also has a 12-bay system if you really desire large storage.

After purchasing the unit, it arrived to me extremely well packed, and included the following:
- cd with software
- eSATA to eSATA cable [to be used to daisy chain in order to make thunderbolt use feasible]
- eSATA to eSATA cable
- eSATA to USB3.0 adapter [sweet!]
- 3 foot Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable
- tray lock keys
- AC power cable
- eSATA PCI bracket

After installing drives I had purchased, the unit was quickly recognized by my Mac, simply setup the RAID system I needed, then formatted the entire drive to be readable by the Mac.

During initialization I had a few questions, and just so happened that DAToptic had live chat support available. I was quickly greeted and not only had my questions answered, the tech VPN'd to my machine and walked me through numerous functions that I wasn't readily aware of, and even walked me through how to best handle failed drives and the best approach to hot swapping them. Can't recommend their services and support enough.

Add to the high quality support, the unit itself is extremely well made, the fans are quiet [and there are a huge number of fans] and it's amazingly quick. The software is typical IT style software, don't expect a glamorous app, but it certainly gets the job done and gives you a variety of advanced tools at your disposal. Highly recommend.
