MultiBay USB 3.0 2-Bay 2.5" (Notebook Size) HDD/SSD RAID Enclosure w/USB 3.0 Hub (1 X Fast Charging Port)

Flip a couple of switches to the settings you want to use, add drives, plug it in and forget about it. Using it as a redundant backup and it works fine.

The documentation is poor and unclear. It does not change modes as described. The mode change button worked only once after dozens of tries, and then it is not in the mode indicated by the dip switches, It indicates RAID 1 mode, but only one drive is writing/reading. After two and a half hours of trying with my IT specialist friend, we gave up. It's a total failure and will be returned. I hope it hasn't corrupted the drives or they will be returned also.

Very well made and that old saying, 'you get what you pay for' applies here, but at lower price. Works great, put two ssd's in it, set it to raid one, plugged into my router....BAM, done. IF there was only one thing i wold complain about...it might be the fan. Doesn't seem to pull a lot of air...but it seems adequate. Long term, I don't know, but have had it going 24/7 for just about a week now...no problems. I do recommend it.

Very cheap box. Worked for awhile then failed. I believe due to bad fan. The fan is underpowered for two disks being used in mirrored mode.

I just got one, and spent a day and a half trying to get RAID 1 working. About the 20th try, it did. No idea why tries 1..19 failed.The "manual" needs editing for English and clarification, and expansion (e.g., documentation on which drive has priority to bethe "master" if a RAID 1 rebuild is needed).But, as SJG...(the only other review here, from 3/2019) ... says, it's a good device for the price.(He was lucky...his fan works, mine doesn't!)Note: it seems to be increasingly difficult to find 2.5" hard drives, so I got two 1 TB SSD 2.5" drives from Amazon ... and I'm very happy with them.In a day or so, I'll dismount the "drive" (the Mac sees it as one disk, of course), pull one out of its slot, and reattach it and verify the data is on that individual drive. Then, after any rebuild, will repeat with the other drive, to be sure that mirroring is actually working.Mirroring, or any other data redundancy RAID level, is like a backup: test it before relying on it!So, I had some startup problems, and a bad fan, but ... it does seem to work, and for a great price.(Note: I, unfortunately, got mine elsewhere, for a dollar more than Amazon, and their return policywas, er, fryed ... yet another good argument for buying from Amazon!)

Nice solid case. So much promise out of the box. But, alas the only part that works is the USB strip. No matter what I do, I can't get my computer to recognize it.
