With multi-drive media dumps, controllers, A/V outputs, and a mess of device cables, it can be hard enough to find space for your notebook let alone room to work.

Reclaim your workspace and reduce your stress.
Finally, a RAID as Mobile as Your Life
Consequently, with the built-in hardware-based RAID controller, you get speed and security without being dependent on what operating system you are running. Moreover, if you work in a cross-platform world, you can easily connect OWC Gemini to Mac and PC using OWC's MacDrive software (sold separately).
