Introduction:
With laptops going mainstream and everyone looking for the smallest and lightest possible mobile computer companies have to make sacrifices in the name of battery life and unit size. Usually the sacrifice is screen real estate and hard drive size, fortunately Sans Digital as a fix for this reduction in hard drive size and speed and it comes in a beautiful redundant flavor. While not actually an editable product it is none the less one of 12 other options in the Towerraid series each featuring different connection options or drive arrangements. Join me while I review the TR5UT(-B) which is in the middle of the Sans Digital Towerraid product line of external raid storage.
