Falcon Data Protection

Fast drive, it serves password protection which good for keeping professional data.

Needed this for the falcon rickshaw and did not disanoint with making custom modifications

Looking for more storage and data protection/reliability of a more advanced RAID and this enclosure fit the bill. With good drives at low prices, and the flexibility this enclosure allows (including easy swap of drives) this is now my main image drive (yes, with nightly backups and cloud storage, just in case) and I can use the swappable drive features to put projects - video in particular - on different drives as needed. Add in B&H free shipping (next day since I'm in Philly) and it's a great combination.

This is really the best option for those editing on a Mac. No only do you get speeds that are slightly faster than the average SSD, you also get MUCH more storage capacity AND data protection. In my tests with the 20TB version I get about 505MB/s write and 580MB/s read. It's setup from the factory in Raid5 so you don't have to initialize the drives which saves time. In Raid 5 mode (best mode) you get 15TB of usable space as 5TB is setup for data protection. If one of the drives ever dies you slide it out and replace with a new one and you won't loose any data. I've been suggesting these to people for over a year now and I'm going to keep doing so. I have a video review of this drive on YouTube if you want to see it in action, speed tests, unboxing, and daisy chaining to a display just do a search for Max Yuryev Thunderbay and you'll find it. The 1.5 to 2.5 times as much. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a fast and reliable drive.

I have used SanDisk SSD drives for a while in photo-video protection and storage. The data transfer rate is a game changer. This PRO version has a relatively higher transfer rate and greatly affects my daily photo/video transfer. Also, the size is so practical to carry with you all time.

Because I use Apple’s Advanced Data Protection feature, I had to connect the HomePod via cable to my Mac to update its software before I could set it up. But once done, the rest was easy and I’m loving the multi-room play feature.

I just transferred 20 Gb of video files from my hard drive to the Pegasus in under one minute. The same transfer via USB 2 took about twenty minutes. So this drive does what it claims. Another plus, using RAID 5 (which is how the drives are configured when they arrive) you only lose one drive's worth of space for the RAID data protection. So the 12 TB drive yields 10 TB of actual capacity -- with data protection. The only small glitch was that when the drive arrived, it had a tendency to eject itself momentarily when the computer woke from sleep. This was corrected with a quick firmware update -- no problems since then. Support staff is very quick to respond and quite professional. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I use it to back up sensitive and regular data, so I use the password protection thing. -I have owned 4 WD passports for 2yrs and 3 My Books for 4 yrs; none has failed me thus far. -I also like the security feature, and the SmartWare has improved a lot with a much friendlier interface vs earlier versions. NOTE: I do manual backup so don't know about the reliability of the auto feature. Needs improvement: may be a good idea to have a password recovery disc capability like Windows 7.

Easy set up, balanced, powerful sound. I ducked because I swear the Millennium Falcon flew right over my head. Dolby Atmos is quite the experience.

Before I bought this lens, I used EF500mm/f4.0 and took photos of birds. Recently I take photos of a kind of Raptores, falcon, with this lens. I feel amazing sharpness of this lens: EF800mm. But I am having a hard time to catch a falcon frying at speed on the finder, so I have to improve my skill. Now, I want to buy a good camera platform, but unfortunately, it is so expensive that I cannnot get it easily.
