Low
cost Accordance ARAID™ line provides
drop-in RAID1 hard disk data protection
for Windows, Mac or Linux PCs.
DES
MOINES, Iowa, February 22, 2005 – Newegg.com®,
and Accordance Systems announced today
the availability of industry leading
ARAID™ RAID storage products
solutions at www.newegg.com. The companies
have entered into a sales and marketing
agreement to promote ARAID products
for IT and home users needing easy
to use and simple to install hard disk
redundancy on their PCs.
The
Accordance ARAID storage product line provides
internal and external RAID devices that
are easily installed to computers without
requiring any additional software or hardware.
ARAID products maintain redundant images
on two hard drives at all times. In the
event of a hard disk failure, the ARAID
system automatically switches to the surviving
drive without computer interruption. The
user is notified of the failure so that
they can switch out the bad drive as soon
as possible.
“We
are thrilled to add Accordance leading
RAID products to Newegg’s family
storage products,” said Jay Yong,
Director of Product Management of Newegg.com. “ARAID
controllers provide a powerful, easy-to-use,
and affordable data redundancy storage
solution for any PC system in the home
or back office.”
The
Accordance ARAID line consists of internal
and external units that support IDE and
SATA disk storage. Installation is simple
since the ARAID device requires no software
or hardware to use. The device appears
as a single hard drive but simultaneously
writes to two 3.5”
or 2.5” drives which provides a 100%
redundant copy and automatic switchover
if one of the hard drives should fail.
“ARAID
is the easiest and most effective data
protection strategy for PCsystems”,
says Steve Johnson, President of Accordance
Systems USA. “Running with two
drives is your best insurance for keeping
your data protected from hard drive failures.
We are pleased to have Newegg to add
our leading RAID products to their PC
storage family”.
Newegg.com
is launching the sales of the ARAID 1000L,
1500, 2000 and M100 internal IDE and SATA
models on its web site at www.newegg.com.
Newegg will also be marketing Accordance
external models that host the ARAID in
a separate powered unit that connects via
USB, 1394 FireWire, IDE and SATA. ARAID
MSRP starts at $360 for the ARAID 1000L
IDE RAID controller.
