"The latest SuperSpeed USB 3.0 provides 10x more bandwidth in comparison to the existing HighSpeed USB 2.0. By incorporating this brand new technology, the TR4UT(-B)P and TR5UT(-B)P are capable of reaching performance speeds 5x faster than the previous models. For computers not equipped with USB 3.0, the units’ backward compatibility with USB 2.0 allows flexible deployment. USB 3.0 PCIe host bus adapters (HA-SAN-2U3PCIE) are also available for easy USB 3.0 interface integration. Both packages also includes an USB 3.0 Turbo Mode software (Windows based only) to further boost the USB 3.0 performance by approximately 30%, allowing the units to reach over 200MB/s* in read and write performance. With the superior USB 3.0 bandwidth and dedicated RAID engines that help reduce CPU utilization of the host computer, the TR4UT(-B)P and TR5UT(-B)P are capable of running RAID 0, 1/10, 3, 5, CLONE (N-Way Mirror) and JBOD with over 200MB/s of data transfer rate."
