    Mashable - Tech "The RTX220-QR is a well-built solution for professionals looking at a robust RAID solution"

    PhotoFocus - "In my case, I have mission-critical data - i.e., my image library which is essentially my 401k to worry about. I feel better in that case using the WiebeTech."

    TUAW - "I was frankly impressed with the speed of this array, particularly when compared to the OWC Pro Dual mini SSD."

    MacWorld - "How many times have you seen a RAID array that is designed with the Mac in mind? That's the appeal of WiebeTech's RTX220-QR,"

    PhotoInduced - "Highly recommended."

The TeraFloppy is Born
The RTX lineup features TrayFree bays that can handle 20,000+ drive insertions. This means you can treat Hard Drives the way you used to think about floppy disks: Pop one out, pop another in. Transporting and backing up files has never been easier.


RTX™220-QR

2 TrayFree™ SATA bays
  • Up to 6TB With 3TB Drives

Lots of RTX models to choose from - here's a handy chart



Reengineered from the Ground Up
A 2-Bay RTX has never been better! As a direct replacement for the RTX200H-QR, the RTX220-QR still provides a fast way to mirror (RAID 1), stripe (RAID 0) or create a quick backup disk. In addition we've updated the RAID controller, gave it a new menu system, a handle, and included a companion utility to customize fan and alarm behavior.

Configurator Software
We listened to requests from customers in various climates, who wanted us to change the default behavior of the RTX fans and alarms. Some wanted to be notified more quickly if their drive is getting too hot, and some, who were using solid state drives in the desert, never wanted to be notified (they knew that it would be hot, and that it wouldn't matter). We've written companion software (Win/Mac compatible) that will allow you to configure at what temperatures the warning LEDs turn on, fans spin up, and/or audible alarms sound.

How to rotate through backup disks:
Remember - a mirror, while it does protect you against a hard drive failure, does not inherently offer a backup. Keeping a separate copy of your data on another hard drive (in this case a 3rd hard drive), helps protect you from data corruption and accidental file deletion. This is easily accomplished with an RTX220-QR in mirror mode. Simply unmount the volume to stop all write activity, remove one of the two drives, and then insert a third drive. You can remount your RTX immediately - and as you work, the RTX will "recover" by automatically copying your data to the inserted drive. The drive you removed can be treated as a backup that you can archive in a fire proof safe, off-site and away from the original data. Any time you choose, you can access the information on your backup disk with another enclosure, such as a 1 bay RTX or ToughTech.

TrayFree™ Trayless Technology for RTX™ Enclosures
WiebeTech's TrayFree bays are a breeze to add a drive to. It really is as easy as opening the door, sliding the drive in, and closing the door. No screws, no trays, it just works.
