VR Features

Simply screw the harddisk drives in place, plug the SATA cables and you're done!

Both the network and USB cables are included as part of the package.

Software Setup

A unique 20 character device ID is assigned to each AluBoxDuo LAN unit and it is used to allow the software to automatically detect and attach the unit to the system. That is used in place of IP addresses or hostnames so there is no need to have any networking knowledge to start using the AluBoxDuo. Furthermore, the software allows you to use as many of the units as you wish by simply adding the device ID of the additional unit. It also allows for RAID 0 or RAID 1 functions across multiple AluBoxDuo units (up to 8) for improved performance or redundancy. Every unit also has a Write Key to enable that particular system to modify files on the AluBoxDuo. It is optional and you may choose not to key it in if you do not want to allow the files on the drive to be modified but wish to allow access to them.
