Enterprise-Class Drives

Four Enterprise-class 6TB hard drives reduce the chance of drive failure in demanding applications.

Front Panel RAID Selector

Front Panel RAID Selector Thanks to a front panel selector switch, the Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 enables easy configuration of the Hardware RAID settings - Span, 0, 1, 5, 10. These setting allow you to select the best combination of speed, capacity, redundancy, or any combination of the three.

Supported RAID Modes

Span: Combines capacity of two or more drives of the same size without any RAID data distribution scheme into one logical desktop volume. Will also combine the capacity of varying size drives based on the lowest capacity drive in the set.

RAID 0 (Stripe): Data is split into blocks over two or more drives at same time for high speeds and large capacity.

RAID 1 (Mirror): Data is written at the same time to two drives only for the highest level of data safety and redundancy.

RAID 5 (Stripe with Parity): Data is Striped while incorporating redundancy over three or more drives for a combination of speed, capacity, and redundancy.

RAID 10 (1+0): Data is Striped (RAID 0) over two Mirrored sets (RAID 1) of drives for fast redundancy.

JBOD/Independent Drive Operation: Each drive can be operated as an individual volume using the Firewire 800/400 or eSATA connections. This feature is not supported for USB connections.
