● Visual Status Array: Real-time system, drive, and RAID rebuilding status at a glance (Progress 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).

● Smart Monitoring & Alarms: Integrated buzzer and red LED warnings for overheating or fan failure.

5. Seamless Software Integration

● RAIDON Status Guard (Windows Only): Windows GUI for RAID and drive health monitoring

● Easy Data Vault (iOS): Enables offline backup/restore of photos and videos on compatible USB-C iPhone/iPad via iOS external storage workflows (Files app / supported apps)—no cloud or internet required.

Applications

● 4K/8K Video Post-Production: Handle high-resolution RAW footage with 20Gbps speeds, ensuring lag-free scrubbing and rapid rendering.

● Secure Data Archiving: Utilize RAID 1 for real-time mirroring, providing an immediate safety net against drive failure for mission-critical assets.

● Mobile Workstations: A compact, ruggedized footprint combined with Thunderbolt compatibility makes it the ideal companion for DITs and location photographers.

● Enterprise Storage Expansion: Hot-swappable trays allow IT managers to expand NAS or server capacity with zero-tool maintenance.

● Creative Agencies & Team Workflows

Flexible RAID modes and hot-swap SSD trays support multi-project workflows, allowing fast drive changes and high-speed performance for collaborative creative teams.

Important Precautions

● Power Check: Verify the Power LED is blue before operation. If red, the power is insufficient and do not power on the device.

● Cable Usage: Use the included white USB-C cable exclusively for PD Power Input (DC IN). It does not support data transfer.

● Data Safety: Changing RAID modes will erase all data on the drives. Always back up your files before switching modes.

● Hot-Swapping: Hot-swapping is not supported in BIG mode and may result in system shutdown or RAID failure.

● macOS Support: Up to 20Gbps requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (USB 20Gbps) host; many Macs will negotiate to USB 10Gbps. Please verify your Mac’s USB data-rate support for expected performance.

Why choose the UR2M-B32?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is the difference between UR2M-B32 & UR2-B32?

A: The UR2M-B32 features a different exterior design from the UR2-B32 and also differs in the specifications listed in the comparison table below.

Q2. What types of SSDs does the UR2M-B32 support?

A: The UR2M-B32 supports up to two M.2 NVMe SSDs and is compatible with 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factors.

Q3. What RAID modes does the UR2M-B32 support?

A: The UR2M-B32 supports RAID 1, JBOD (Independent drives), and BIG

Q4. What is the maximum data transfer speed of the UR2M-B32?

A: The UR2M-B32 supports up to 20Gbps when connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (USB 20Gbps) host. The link will negotiate to the highest mutually supported USB mode (20/10/5Gbps), and real-world throughput depends on the host controller, cable, and SSD performance. On Mac, many systems negotiate to USB 10Gbps; please verify your Mac’s USB data-rate support for expected performance.

Q5. Is the UR2M-B32 compatible with Thunderbolt™ devices?

A: Yes. The UR2M-B32 is fully compatible with Thunderbolt™ 3, 4, and 5 USB-C hosts for broad platform compatibility.

Q6. Does it support hot-swap SSDs?

A: Yes, the UR2M-B32 supports Hot-swapping in RAID 1 and JBOD modes. But it does not support in BIG mode and may cause RAID failure and system shutdown.

Q7. What happens if the power LED turns red?

A: The red power LED indicates insufficient power. Please do not power on the device and ensure to use a sufficient USB-C PD power source connected to the DC IN port.

Q8. Does the UR2M-B32 support iPhone/iPad backup?

A: Yes. Using the Easy Data Vault iOS app, the UR2M-B32 supports offline backup and selective restore of photos and videos on compatible USB-C iPhones and iPads, without cloud access or internet.

Q9: What happens If switching the RAID mode?

A: Switching RAID modes will erase all data on the installed drives. So users must back up all important files to another location before switching modes.

Performance test result for reference. The test result will vary depend on the test environment.
