As a subsidiary of ASUStek, I had high expectations for their products. For the most part, Axus delivered a superior product. The Axus FiT 300 offers users the option of hardware RAID with high speed eSATA performance. The ability to configure the RAID setting without having to install a device manager is quite nice as the software lacks many useful features like SMART monitor or drive diagnostics.

With the exception of not having an integrated power supply and fan, the Axus FiT 300 has many positive aspects. From the beginning, the FiT 300 has a very clean and elegant look. It could easily sit beside an HTPC and blend in with the home theatre surroundings. The RAID performance is remarkable and whether or not you want maximum capacity with RAID 0 or enjoy a bit of comfort in redundancy, you won’t need to sacrifice too much sequential performance. Last but not least, there is very little overhead power required. For someone who doesn’t need network storage and just wants fast speed, the Axus FiT series is definitely worth considering.

Advantages

• Flexible RAID configuration

• Good performance

Disadvantages

• No integrated PSU or fan

Thank you Axus for making this review possible.
