Two-Bay Thunderbolt RAID Enclosure
The DataTale RS-M2T SMART accepts two SATA hard drives or SSDs in a silver aluminum and plastic chassis. It connects via two Thunderbolt ports for daisy-chaining and ships with a Thunderbolt cable. The unit is designed for professionals who need hardware RAID with hot-swappable bays.
RAID Mode Selector
A physical switch sets the enclosure to JBOD, RAID 0 or RAID 1 without software configuration. This single control decides whether the two drives appear as independent volumes, a striped array for speed or a mirrored array for redundancy. The choice is made before the drives are inserted.
Patented SmartGuider Trays
The trayless mechanism uses auto-limiting segmented screws that prevent over-tightening and position drives upright for maximum airflow. Low-decibel fans exhaust heat through surrounding vents while onboard LEDs report system, connection, fan error and disk status. The design replaces traditional screw-in trays entirely.

Questions about this item
What does the 10 Gbps Thunderbolt speed mean for actual file transfers?
The 10 Gbps Thunderbolt interface sets the maximum bandwidth between the enclosure and your computer. Real-world throughput will depend on the installed SATA drives, the chosen RAID mode, and system overhead, but the connection itself will not be the bottleneck for most dual-drive configurations.
How do the two Thunderbolt ports work when daisy-chaining other devices?
The enclosure provides two Thunderbolt ports supporting up to 10 Gbps. You can connect the host to one port and attach another Thunderbolt device to the second port, allowing up to six devices in a chain without adding a separate hub or dock.
How do I install drives without trays using the SmartGuider mechanism?
The patented SmartGuider uses auto-limiting segmented screws that prevent over-tightening. Drives slide upright into the open bays and are secured by turning the screws, which also positions them for optimal airflow through the surrounding vents.
