Review on ๐Ÿ“€ IODD Iodd2531 USB3.0 HDD SSD Virtual CD-ROM Enclosures (1 Unit/Lot) - Made in Korea by James Cabot

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Absolutely essential for every Ststem Builder/Maintainer.

Essential. Lots of information about potential use cases is available online that you may have already looked at if you're looking at this. A few precautions: 1. Using the jog wheel and accessing the menu, let alone changing any settings, while the disc is being transferred to/from the disc will result in a temporary drop in transfer speed.2. If the rotary switch fails, you lose all of the functionality that distinguishes it from a regular USB SATA enclosure. It's not a modular or replaceable component that's almost guaranteed to fail sooner or later. However, there are no problems yet. Gentle use should prolong its life.3. Every time the settings are changed, the drive is disconnected from the system without confirmation. Another reason NOT TO TOUCH THE ACTUATOR while the process is in progress.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
