Drive Enclosure 2 Sata To USB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Flawless. Looks beautiful next to my Mac.
The bay takes 2 drives, it can be configured to be JBOD (Just a bunch of disks) in which both drives appear separately, or RAID 0, 1. I ran it with just 1 drive in there for a time, and that worked flawlessly, later I added a second (in JBOD Mode) and it worked perfectly as well.
the FW 800 interface is nearly as fast as the internal SATA on my MB Pro, I have booted the OS from it.
In short it's a fantastic enclosure, and a GREAT DEAL, considering that you can get up to 1.4TB into it. just by purchasing your own hard drives. It far out weighs any of the pre-built configurations you might run across from a price / performance perspective.
The only criticism, is that the fan is constantly running when it is on, I'd of rather seen them include a temperature monitor to kick the fan on when it was needed, as it is a little noisy compared to the deadly quite of my Mac.

Vantec NexStar MX NST-400MX-S2 Dual 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 2.0 with JBOD External Hard Drive Enclosure (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just purchased this to house two drives for basic backup purposes. I was very impressed while unboxing: solid case (the black burnished steel has a cool look and feel), easy connections, not too bright lights. Overall it's a great enclosure.
But I'm returning it, because the fan never turns off. The noise really is loud enough to be annoying. If the fan only ran when the drive was heating up - I'd be happy. However, I won't be able to deal with this constant white noise.
After purchasing this (spur of the moment, not on amazon), I found a great review here (http://www.modders-inc.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&file=print&reid=222) which has lots of pics, mentions the benefits, but also mentions the noise. If you're looking for a more detailed review before purchasing, go check that one out.
