Our take
If you're dealing with serious data, the CalDigit VR offers an impressive 28TB of storage in a dual-bay RAID configuration. The 7200RPM drives are a good standard for performance, and the inclusion of multiple interfaces like FW800, FW400, eSATA, and USB 2.0 ensures broad compatibility with older and some newer systems. The removable drives and temperature sensor are nice touches for maintainability and data safety. However, the USB 2.0 connection is a bottleneck for speed compared to modern standards, so you'll want to leverage FireWire 800 or eSATA for optimal transfer rates.
