Excellent value for a RAID enclosure

Great price, very quick install. Elegant design and very high performance thanks to USB 3.1 Gen 2. It is currently used to store backups and media and is ideal for this purpose.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Low repairability

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Both product and service suck!

Two years later a similar 9TB drive from OWC failed and was unsupported. company sucks. Don't take my word for it, read their BBB rating, it's 1 star with only a lot of complaints!

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • quality

This raid is great for storage

I like the security and speed of the 1+0 configuration. I removed my old drives from my old Mac Pro and used them with my new MacBook Pro which I now have 4T Secure fast data storage only the price of the case and software!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Frequency
