Perfect for reusing old SATA laptop drives
I don't have a need for another RAID unit per-se. But I've accumulated lots of laptop hard drives over the years. Seemed wasteful to just toss them. So what do I do with them?I use this unit in large drive mode, and use old drives as scratch space. Like temporary quick storage for media files on the go. Large mode means that you get 1 big drive. 1TB + 250GB drives get you a virtual 1.25TB drive with this unit.I just run the drives until one of them finally dies. Figure out which one is bad, get rid of it, reset, reformat and keep going.It just works. And I feel like I'm not wasting old hardware.

Great little SSD raid box.
Includes screws and a few appropriate screwdrivers to install the SSDs.In 'normal' mode it appears as two disks. Under linux I partitioned them, assembled a raid mirror , formatted them then mounted them. Just a few minutes.JMicron JMS551 bridge in the box.

Easy install
Easy to install & setup using the dip switches - make sure to turn the enclosure off/on after setting the switches to make sure the change takes effect.I installed 2 X 1tb hard drives in RAID 1. The only thing I noticed is that it gets quite hot as there is no active cooling.

Cost effective method to gang drives
Excellent method to use laptop drives and provide enough performance to make using them less painful I mounted a pair of 1Tb 7200rpm 2.5" drives and got xfer rates close to 300MB/s. That's only 1/2 of an SSD and a fraction of a m2.nmve rates but plenty of speed for all sorts of everyday tasks. I wish Maiwo would produce a 3 bay model as well locked to RAID 0 for speed and a 4 bay with multiple RAID modes.

Good Value!
I was hoping to build a work device that was faster than a RAID-0 external hard disk pair. I wanted to set up two SSDs in RAID-0 configuration. I was surprised that it isn't faster than other modes at all. You can see that the listing looking at drive speed tests. I ultimately decided to use "Normal" mode, which is even faster than RAID-0 for reading and writing.Pros:Good priceSmall sizeBeautiful caseCons:RAID-0 is a joke speedwiseSecondary power cable?I'm running SSDs and tried running from the power from the data cable and that seems to work just fine.So far, I think it's quite a bargain even though the RAID-0 just barely works.
