Tested and certified per unit
Every installed drive is tested. Your production certificate records the actual enclosure and drive serial numbers, drive brands and models, test duration, sustained read and write measurements, technician and test report.
Build scope
Includes assembled enclosure, configured storage, appropriate power supply and connection cable, SoftRAID license, test certificate and US delivery. RAID redundancy does not replace independent backups. Capacities are decimal estimates before filesystem overhead.
* Drive brands may vary. You can request specific drive brands; the cost changes accordingly. We confirm your revised quote before payment. Product imagery shows the OWC chassis; installed drives are sourced and tested by IADOWR Films.
