VL2 has a second 2.5-inch SATA drive bay, which not only increases storage capacity, but also adds redundant array of independent disks (RAID) 0 and 1 functionality.

Valueline 2 (VL2) industrial PCs have fourth-generation IntelCore processors and a unique, gull-wing access door, which reduces maintenance time and provides easy access to the computer's  PCI/PCIe card. They have DisplayPort++ for high-resolution images and streaming over one connector, and their 10-point, capacitive, multi-touch screen allows a more interactive user interface. VL2 has a second 2.5-inch SATA drive bay, which not only increases storage capacity, but also adds redundant array of independent disks (RAID) 0 and 1 functionality. RAID 1, more common in industry, “mirrors” the same data on two different drives for redundancy. RAID 0 “stripes” or splits data across multiple drives for quicker processor speeds.
