The U35 spins down the hard drives and activates the sleep mode after a period of inactivity.

Rocpro U35 supports USB 3.2 Protocol which gives you an up to 5 Gb/s data transfer rate. You could easily use it for storing data and editing directly from your computer.

U35 also provides one DisplayPort 1.1a output for a second monitor.

The Rocpro U35 is designed with the MCU feature, which monitors and helps the in-chassis system temperature stay cool. If the system temperature rises due to drive usage, the MCU will increase the fan speed to full speed and an alarm will sound. Users can manually adjust the fan speed with a dial on the rear of the array. Additionally, if the fan fails or the device temperature is too high, the alarm will ring and let the user know the status of the fan.

Q: 4. Is there a reliability issue between 3TB and 2TB drives, some suggest 3TB drives are bound to fail sooner than 2TB, is this true? What will be the file transfer rate if I'm using this on windows PC with USB 2.0. I do not have a MAC and plan to install a PCIe for USB 3.0 if my PC supports it. Thanks

A: A large video library for a production company was duplicated on 2 of these drives. One is with me to work with my Mac. The other is with my editor and his PC and AVID set up. We have only had the drives since October 2016. A 1TB Glyph RAID drive did fail after 6 years. So I do not think the size of the drive matters. The 1TB drive was kept indoors in an edit facility. Sometimes S*** happens.
