Perfect for mission critical backup, the RAIDFrame 51 combines the best features of two of our most popular products, the Tandem AMT and the RAIDFrame. The RAIDFrame 51 mirrors two RAIDPacs, combining RAID 5 and RAID 1 technology. This feature can be turned off, allowing both drives to be used separately.
Each RAIDPac contains three drives in RAID5. RAIDPacs can sustain the loss of a single drive before experiencing data corruption. In the event of drive failure, the RAIDPac will beep and flash a light signalling which drive has failed. For convenience, drives may be swapped out of RAIDPacs live from the front.
Additionally, RAIDPacs can store significantly more data than a traditional hard drive (up to 9TB.)
The RAIDFrame 51™ is a 2 Bay direct attached backup solution with removable RAID 5 media (RAIDPacs) and an integrated mirroring controller. Mirroring is controlled using front panel display and buttons.





The RAIDFrame 51 has two removable RAIDPac bays. The “51″ part of the product name refers to simultaneous RAID5 and RAID1, meaning the two RAIDPacs are mirrored, providing additional data redundancy. Installing a new RAIDPac automatically initiates a remirror. Mirroring can be turned on/off so the two RAIDpacs can be used separately.
RAIDPacs are the largest removable backup media in the world, holding 9TB in RAID0 mode or 6TB in RAID5 mode. Each removable RaidPac houses 3 SATA hard drives and a RAID5 Controller that allows it to sustain single drive failures without data loss.
Since the RAID5 controller is integrated into the hardware of the RAIDPac, the removable media and each 3 drive RAIDPac shows up to the host as a single hard drive with no drivers or installation required. (Similar to plugging in a USB drive).
This system connects via a single eSATA cable providing a faster backup than tape, USB, or Ethernet connected devices. Use your choice of backup or imaging software to backup your server(s) to the unit. Keep one copy on-site and remove the other RAIDPac as needed.
RAIDPacs have an emergency Molex and USB3 connector on them that allows the data to be accessed in the field – even in the absence of the RAIDFrame.
The RAIDFrame systems are the ultimate power house of Data Backup. With their tremendous capacity, speed and portability, nothing will stop you from retrieving your valuable data fast.
