About the StudioRAID mini
StudioRAID mini is modeled after it’s powerful big brother the StudioRAID, a high-performance storage solution in a tiny
footprint. With two internal SATA drives available in 7,200 and 5,400 RPM, the StudioRAID mini supports RAID 0 and RAID 1
modes. A built-in auto-sensing fan keeps the drives cool while special sensors constantly monitor the drive and enclosure
health, notifying you if there is a problem.
Ports
On the rear of the StudioRAID mini there are two FireWire 800 ports, one eSATA port, and a USB 3.0 port. Officially,
FireWire 800 ports are IEEE 1394b ports that run at up to 800Mbits/sec. One of these ports should be connected to your
computer, and the other should be connected to other downstream FireWire devices. It doesn’t matter which port you con-
nect to the computer, they are functionally identical. If your computer has a FireWire 800 port, use the provided FireWire
800 9-pin cable. If your computer has a FireWire 400 port only, you can use a FireWire 800 to FireWire 400 converter
cable, available from Glyph (part# CAB-FW800-9/6-2). If your computer doesn’t have any FireWire ports you will need to
purchase a FireWire adapter card. Check the Glyph web site for suggestions.
The fastest interfaces on the StudioRAID mini are the USB 3.0 and eSATA ports. If you choose to connect your StudioRAID
mini using eSATA, you will need an eSATA port on your computer. Glyph sells various eSATA cards, please check the web-
site for details. The StudioRAID mini does not ship with an eSATA cable.
