This new Portable Dual Drive RAID enclosure accommodates up to two 2.5" SATA hard drives into a small package that fits easily in your hand. To enhance portability, the entire storage unit is designed to be powered by most USB ports*. The drives can be used as two independent drives, as a redundant drive to protect against drive failure, combined to become one high performance drive or combined to become one large drive. All these different configurations are controlled by a simple dip switch easily accessible on the back of the unit. By utilizing Addonics family of SATA-CF hard disk adapters, up to as many as 4 Compact Flash cards (CF cards) can be installed into this drive enclosure and be used as a portable, large capacity, high performance, and shock resistant SSD (Solid State Drive).
Come bundled with DriveClone, a disk cloning and back up softwre, the Portabl Dual Drive RAID enclosure has a built-in backup button that can be configured to provide the convenience of one button back up of any critical files or folders. Installing drives into the enclosure is done by simply removing the front cover, inserting the two drives into the open slots and securing the drives by recapping the front cover.
