5.0 out of 5 stars Works Very Well..., December 26, 2009

This review is from: Eagle Tech ET-CSDU2J-BK 3.5? SATA to USB dual bay JBOD enclosure (Personal Computers)
I don't have the time to write a 45 min. review,
but I'll just say that it works well, and I'm very
pleased with my purchase. It's a hard drive enclosure,
not a television. It's been reliable for over 6 months.
I would buy it again... A+++

This review is from: Eagle Tech ET-CSDU2J-BK 3.5? SATA to USB dual bay JBOD enclosure (Personal Computers)
this is a great value for my 2 x 1tb drives. usb is a tad slow but more than enough for my media collection.
fan is a bit noisy in my opinion but i am not complaining at this price point.

simply works and its cheap!

4.0 out of 5 stars It works! as advertised. Well worth it!, August 4, 2009

This review is from: Eagle Tech ET-CSDU2J-BK 3.5? SATA to USB dual bay JBOD enclosure (Personal Computers)
Eagle Tech ET-CSDU2J-BK 3.5-Inch SATA to USB Dual Bay JBOD Enclosure reviewed here has excellent value compared to other HDD enclosures as it houses Dual SATA HDDs and has the capability of spanning two drives to make it look like a bigger drive to the operating system (RAID-0 JBOD)

I found out that everyone complains about FAN noise and or SATA cables too big for this enclosure. I do agree it is very tricky to put the HDDs into this enclosure, But with some tips (See Below) you can get this thing working in no time.

TIP:
----
(*) Make sure the HDD power cables do not to touch the FAN thereby eliminating the FAN noise. Just grab the HDD power cables and pull them away from the fan and tuck them behind SATA cables.

(*) Just let the SATA cables bend on it's own as you press and as you close the lid after HDD installation, Do not try to bend the included SATA cables yourself as they can easily get damaged or worse damage the SATA connectors.


PROS
[+] Cheap and does the job well
[+] Decent transfer speeds (USB 2.0)
[+] RAID 0 (Spanning) possible with 2 drives
[+] Does not need any additional drivers for XP/Vista or Linux OS
[+] Comes with Screws, Cables, and Power Adapters ready to go


CONS
[-] Somewhat cheap construction
[-] Getting HDDs into the case is tricky as SATA cables are very stiff
[-] Poor Quality FAN which can be noisy for some


Eagle Tech ET-CSDU2J-BK works fine as advertised, Frankly speaking for the money it is well worth it, Agree that there are some cheap looking plastic parts and the whole assembly is very small but for what it is designed for it works quite well. Free Shipping from Amazon, great price - Go get one!
