data intensive storage applications requiring the highest 

speeds. Perfect for digital audio/video editing and enterprise 

servers, this easy-to-use drive is the ultimate upgrade for your 

multimedia workstation.

Ride the Fastest Wave: SATA II

Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) II marks the 

highest rung on the evolutionary ladder of SATA technology. 

SATA II 3Gbits can deliver data at 300MB/s—twice as fast as 

its SATA predecessor and more than twice as fast as Parallel 

ATA/IDE. This advantage makes it ideal for speed demanding 

users, especially when using several d2 eSATA II 3Gbits drives  

in RAID 0. SATA II technology boasts easy installation and  

configuration, improved reliability, a simplified structure, seamless  

integration and improved cable and external eSATA connectors.

The Choice for Audio/Video Pros 

Because of the increased bandwidth provided by the SATA II 

interface, this drive is well suited for a variety of professional  

applications, including large-scale backup, video editing and 

powering RAID 0 and RAID 1 projects. With a data transfer 

rate of up to 80-90MB/s, it’s perfect for high-end video 

workstations, and small server and network environments. 

It also features rotational speeds of up to 7,200 rpm and a 

16MB cache size, making it one of the fastest, most advanced 

storage solutions available for digital video professionals.

Expert Design for Expert Use

This drive’s design naturally dissipates internal drive heat— 

drawing it away from the internal drive toward the external 

casing, keeping it safe and prolonging its life and reliability.  

This feature allows the 320GB drive to operate safely and 

quietly without a fan. The 500GB drive comes with an 

advanced “smart fan” that runs on the quietest setting possible 

to minimize noise. Offering versatile configuration, it can be 

stacked, stood upright or rack-mounted to save desk space.
