External Drive Reviews: HDDs & SSDs

The DriveStation Duo 2 TB is a rather imposing external storage solution. It should, however, have pretty decent performances since it comes loaded with a pair of speedy hard drives. Plus, these drives can be used in RAID 0 or RAID 1 so you can prioritise performance or safe back-up as required. Changing between the two RAID modes isn't all that straight-forward, however, as you have to install the manufacturer's software in order to chose which mode you want to two drives to work in. RAID 0 simultaneously writes two different parts of a file onto each drive to optimise performance, while RAID 1 copies the whole file to both drives for an extra back-up in case one drive fails. The DriveStation features two Seagate 7200.12 hard drives, which spin at 7200 rpm, have 32 MB of cache memory and an internal 3 Gbps SATA-2 interface. For the best performances, you're therefore better off using the external eSATA port on the DriveStation Duo and only using the USB 2.0 connection as a back-up. Plus, it's nice to see that Buffalo supplies an eSATA bracket so you can install an eSATA port on a PC that doesn't have internal SATA connections.
