Here is a demo video of the ToughTech Duo QR RAID storage system. It is a small high performance RAID device that uses two 2.5-inch hard disk drives or solid state drives to back-up and store data. Designed for professional photographers, the ToughTech Duo QR RAID storage system provides protection against data loss by writing the same information in real-time to both drives and in the event of any failure can continue to run while the ToughTech Duo restores data on to its hard drives. The device comes equipped with FireWire 800/400, USB 2.0 and eSATA connections. Watch a demo video after the jump. Read more
