Retrofit Redundancy with easyRAID

Our smart add-on solutions for extra RAID protection are marketed under the easyRAID brand.

For a secure system boot—whether on new builds or as a later upgrade—choose our easyRAID mirror controllers M2S620 and M2S600. Each unit slips into a single or double optical-drive bay and already contains its own RAID controller. Simply connect a SATA cable and power.

On the rear, DIP switches let you select the RAID mode:

RAID 0 for striping—combining both drives into one high-performance volume
RAID 1 for mirroring—safeguarding data on fully redundant drives

Key benefits of an easyRAID mirror controller

RAID 0 (striping) or RAID 1 (mirroring)
Lockable hot-swap trays
Drive status displayed on the front panel
Dedicated, low-noise cooling
RS-232 monitoring port
Occupies just one (or two) optical-drive bays—SFF or LFF

FAQ - Storage

Here you will find the most important questions about our storage solutions.

Why is a local (“on-premise”) storage system so important despite the cloud?

For highly critical or latency-sensitive workloads in particular, outsourcing to the cloud alone is often not enough. A local system provides the necessary speed and control: the data remains in your company, which enables fast, synchronous processing and a high standard of security. For example, you can run time-critical applications smoothly and at the same time benefit from the advantages of the cloud for backup or archiving.

Which storage systems are suitable for my company?

We offer solutions from small SMEs to large enterprise operations. Whether you need a compact RAID system for a few terabytes, a high-availability NAS for multiple locations or a JBOD to expand capacity with hundreds of drives, our experts can help you make the right choice and offer a wide range of form factors, protocols and equipment variants.

How does Starline ensure reliable data security?

Our storage systems are state of the art. The stored data is then protected in various ways: this can be RAID technologies, modern file systems such as ZFS, erasure coding, replication, snapshots and/or encryption options. Our industrial grade hardware is assembled in Kirchheim and tested in a burn-in test. This is how we guarantee a long service life for your storage systems.

Can JBODs be added to my existing storage setup?

Absolutely. Many of our systems have a modular design so that you can easily add more drives via JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) expansions. This allows you to flexibly adapt the capacity to growing data volumes at any time without having to purchase a completely new solution.

How does Starline provide support during and after installation?

We support you throughout the entire life cycle of your storage system - from the initial consultation to installation, commissioning and ongoing maintenance. Our technicians are always available on weekdays; we also offer a 24x7x4 service on request. We also support you with customs and financing issues and take care of firmware updates and any special requests.
