Product Review
Product Description
The CADA-SA2 Series offers an unbeatable combination of RAID data protection, 3.0Gbit/sec eSATA speed and a vast storage capacity of 2 TB (1 TB mirrored). This dual-bay disk array features swappable hard disks and a built-in RAID controller. The unit arrives preconfigured in RAID 1 to protect your important data - if one drive fails, replace it with an identical drive and the data will automatically rebuild. Leave it in RAID 1 mode for automatic background rebuilding and optimum security for your files, or configure to RAID 0 for increased data reading and writing speeds. Factory default is RAID 1 GUI mode, but also supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 0+1(safe 33/safe 50). Its SATA interface provides a faster boot process and quicker loading of programs and data. Ideal for saving hefty files, video, music, protecting databases or working directly on the drive, it delivers high-capacity performance and data security. The unit is factory pre-configured in RAID 1 and ready to use out of the box. Install the easy-to-use RAID configuration software and the included SATA to eSATA bracket kit to take full advantage of the incredible set of features.

The box is good looking and when this worked, it was quiet and fast. The software isn't intuitive, but it's OK and you really only use it for set-up.

I never succeeded in setting this up with the USB interface. The software couldn't see the drives. Don't know if it was my problem or something with the hardware or software, but after three hours of trying on two different machines it definitely didn't work according to the manual. I wanted a RAID 1 setup. SATA is faster anyway, so I bought and installed an eSATA card ($20) and it worked well immediately and never had any problems after that until...

After 8 months, the box got progressively noisier, fan noise, after two weeks of that it started "whistling" then locked up my computer. Turning it off freed the computer.

Even though it's under warranty and Cavalry will probably replace it, they will make an attempt to transfer, but will not recover any lost data. I can't have confidence in...Read more
