You can customize the Gemini to quickly adapt to project changes and help you stay ahead of deadlines. Install your choice of 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch HDDs or SSDs and even combine the speed of a SSD with the cost-effective storage capacity of a HDD. With built-in hardware RAID, you have four drive set-up choices:
- Non-RAID to keep the drives as independent volumes
- RAID 1 (mirror) for backup reliability
- RAID 0 (stripe) for optimal performance and maximum speed or use
- Span to combine the drive capacities into one huge volume for extra-large storage capacities
