Will move 2 X 2 TB from one NAS server to this box and install 2 X 4 TB or 2 X 5TB into the server. My gut feel is to buy this box (USB 3 speed up to 480 mib/s) - around 40 EUR (excluding HDD's). I'm Interested in any thoughts people might have on this one. The transfer speed is perfectly fast enough for what I need - in an case this extra storage will be merely for backups / archives while the multi-media files are on the internal HDD's on the servers. I have 2 X spare USB3 connectors on each of my 2 current NAS server boxes which I rarely use so I'm leaning towards the USB3 box idea. Note though this box doesn't have a 2.5 inch -> 3.5 inch adapter so only 3.5 inch HDD's will fit -also they must be the SATA type (not the old IDE ones -if anybody still uses those).Ĭan't decide whether dedicated NAS storage - expensive - even 2 bay (empty no HDD supplied) costs around 150 - 200 USD or use a much cheaper external storage box with SATA/ USB3 connectors. There's also a switchable Fan if you are worried about heat from HDD's. Really small size, neat and works at full USB3 speed so perfectly OK for backups and even multi media sharing. I'm replacing 2 X 2 TB from a NAS box with 2 X 5 TB HDD's so the 2 X 2 TB will go nicely into this box. Note if HDD's already formated just plug them in. Comes with "Intelligent power" also - powers off if Host powers off too. Simply format HDD's first (Linux / Ios (Mac) / Windows) and then select operating mode. In USA you could probably get this box for around 40 - 45 USD.ģ) Independent Disks - run as two independent separate HDD's,Ĥ) JBOD mode - Just a Bunch of Disks - aggregates the HDD's into a single volume. HornetTek X2-U3 JBOD USB 3.0 (HT-3210U3) - DUAL BAY - JBOD - HDD ENCLOSURESĬost 50 EUR - small - just a tiny bit bigger than the actual HDD's themseleves (3.5 inch HDD's max 2 X 5TB capacity). This is a Brilliant device for people who need to add more storage without having to go NAS route etc etc. ![]() USB 3 dual bay HDD storage with built in RAID ![]()
