About Bantam

The Idealstor Bantam is a removable disk backup system that will change the way you look at backups. Combining the best of disk and tape, the Bantam uses rugged 2.5” SATA disks as backup media which can then be sent offsite for storage and disaster recovery. Starting at only $299.00 (USD) the Bantam is priced to fit the budget of any SMB yet is reliable enough to meet the needs of the most demanding enterprise.

The Idealstor Bantam is designed to attach directly to any server or desktop. The Bantam is a fast, rugged and reliable system that is ideal for backup, archive, data movement and disaster recovery. It provides blazing performance and fast access to your data. Transfer rates of up to 480 MB/s will be available and at time of launch disk cartridges of 320GB, 500GB, 750GB and 1TB (larger systems are available to backup more than 1TB of data). Extended maintenance, USB3 controllers and multi-disk packs are also available.

Each Bantam can be combined with Paragon Drive Backup Workstation or Server edition to create a complete solution. Paragon Drive Backup is optimized for file based backups, block level backups, bare metal recovery and server migrations. The Bantam ships with Idealstor’s removable disk management utility – IDM.
