Overall Review:
First things first:
READ.
THE.
INSTRUCTIONS.
Any reviewer that has complained about corrupting their data just flat out didn't read the directions and/or didn't check the setting on the enclosure itself. If you have the enclosure set to anything except "2LUN" and insert two hard drives with data and fire up the thing... you're going to have a bad time.
I upgraded mine and my GFs laptop to SSDs, so I took the 1TB Hybrid Drives left over and used them in the enclosure in RAID 1. I'm using it as a home NAS of sorts plugged into my Asus RT-AC68U router.
The drive(s) are seen by Win 7 as local disks rather than removable media. You will have to initialize the disk and format them before use. If you do a full format it will take a LONG time depending on your setup; with 2x1TB 5400RPM in RAID 1 it took over 18 hours to fully format.
The enclosure itself is well built for the price. You do have to be careful when inserting the drives, but this is just due to the diminutive size of the enclosure itself. The doors may seem a little flimsy but they're doing double duty of being covers and drive trays.
9/10, would definitely buy again.
