ACASIS 2 Bay External Hard Drive RAID Enclosure for 2.5/3.5" SATA HDD/SSD with USB 3.0,Support RAID 0/1/JBOD/SPAN,Max 6Gbps Under UASP,36TB Capacity Raid Enclosure

Amazing quality. Working as expected. Looks elegant and awesome

Good product

I received this item yesterday. It came in sealed package with adaptor and all accessories. Good seller. Its a good product; its RAID switches are inside and I configured this unit as SPAN mode. Hardware is the issue :- Outside case is made of good quality aluminum; but internal tray is made of plastic and it seems to me fragile; mounting screws are poor quality.

Good and working fine as expected

Hard drives get pretty hot and the internal fan is not of much use. The caddy is plastic due to which heat is not transferred to the aluminium casing, otherwise it would have acted as a very good heatsink. Transfer speeds are as expected and no complaints regarding that.

Good option for backup.

Does not remain on.

Well built, good price and provided all cables and tools to setup ur drives. but a few concerns to take note. 1. Should have rubber feet to either stand vertically or horizontally. 2. If u are planning to connect it to a NAS, when it goes to sleep it does not wake up if u access again the drive. You have to literally press the power button to turn it back on. Has a software to either turn off the sleep time or prolong the wake up time but that defeats the purpose of a DAS enclosure. 3. RAID Switch may be better outside the enclosure instead of disassembling the enclosure just to change raid modes. 4. Better to have the hdd status light at the front of the enclosure, specially if u have this enclosure tuck in ur network rack so you can see it is turned on. I would live to keep it but for the reason #2: I have to return it.

3/22/2024 Edit: I quickly received a replacement unit from Amazon and so far so good. It's plenty fast enough for what I need. ACASIS reached out to me multiple times for a replacement or a refund, so for that I will commend them. The case is sleek, feels nice, looks good, and the cables that came with it (USB-C with a USB 3.1 female-to-male converter), and price was great. Previous review: Received unit, installed 2x12TB drives a d proceeded to back up 6TB of data. The next day I transfer more files and in the middle of copying files it just suddenly turned off and now no longer turns on.

This drive delivers on all its promises. The case is made of thick aluminum, and the included USB cable is well-insulated. It offers a satisfactory transfer rate and is of high quality. The technical support team responds quickly and has extensive knowledge that surpasses standard tech support. They can address complex questions regarding your backup setup. The drive operates quietly, and the lights enhance my environment. Unlike other drives, the sleep mode works effectively and wakes up properly when activated by the backup utility.

3 different drives corrupted while using this thing, i tried 2 more devices, hoping that it was my drives. however they did the exact same corruption on 3 different enclosures. luckily i had the data backed up and i was able to return 2 of these enclosures, the 1st one that i thought was my drives was passed the warranty date, these are not reliable.

I purchased this enclosure to house 2 8TB HD drives which would be used for backups and external file storage. The unit is aluminum, except for the drive cart which is plastic. The 3.5" HD drives fit nicely and were easy enough to install. The DIP switches are mounted on the drive cart, but the included instructions for the the DIP switch settings were not in English. Also, the DIP switch settings illustrations in the manual were incorrect. I found the ACASIS web site and located the English version of the manual. First problem solved Once the RAID enclosure was assembled and ready to go, I attached the USB cable to my computer. I powered up the enclosure and set the drives up. The first thing I noticed was the exhaust fan was very quiet. The second thing I noticed was the enclosure went to sleep after only a few minutes of non-use. The fan would stop (but not the drives) and the RAID enclosure would start to heat up. (Second problem). I tried adjusting the setting in the operating system to stop the enclosure for sleeping with no luck. I went back to the ACASIS web site and found an firmware update. The software that installed the firmware update also let me turn off sleep mode. Not I have a quiet running RAID enclosure that does not sleep but does power down when I turn off my computer. Unfortunately, the firmware update software is a Windows EXE file. Mac and Linux users may not be able to easily solve the sleep issue.
