Review on Fantom Drives DMR000E - FD Duo Portable 2-Bay SSD RAID Enclosure - πŸ’½ USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C - 10Gbps - RAID0/RAID1/JBOD - Aluminum - Mac/PC/PS4/Xbox Compatible by Derrick Siham

Doesn't work on blue USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports

Nice little hard drive, ready to use. My Samsung 860 Evo SSDs fit snugly in the slots, and it's all wrapped up in one nice, solid piece of technology. The problem arose when trying to get a computer to recognize the drive. I am using the new Lenovo M920. This drive enclosure will not work with blue USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gb/s ports. Windows 10 cannot access the drive at all. My other Samsung portable SSDs and optical drives work fine with these ports, but not the Fantom drive. The Fantom drive works well with black 5GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, but it's not as advertised. To verify this I tried the same thing on my Dell laptop and I'm having the exact same issue. There seems to be a firmware issue when used on high speed ports. I'm a bit nervous about using this as my main external drive, I hope that's the only issue and nothing else.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Expensive
