Bundle of
Dual Drive quality metal case for two 2.5” SATA drives.
2x quality fast SATA 2.5” drives (2 × 4TB SATA 2.5” SSDs).
***JULY SPECIAL***. => DUAL 4TB DRIVE & CASE BARGAIN
This case can be set up in the following configurations:
Dual Drive quality metal case that holds 2 x SATA 2.5” drives. It is ideal for fast SSD’s available from us. These can be set up in the following configurations:
-2 drives joined to provide the combined storage of both drives (RAID 0)
-2 drives mirroring each other (RAID 1)
-2 drives added together to have larger capacity (SPAN)
-1 or 2 drives sizes do not have to match (JBOD)
Note on RAID options
RAID 0 - performance improvement with drives combined, as data is handled across both drives by hardware but there is more risk of data loss. Drives in this situation are hard to recover if one drive fails (less likely with SSDs than mechanical drives).
RAID 1 - reduced risk of losing data as data is duplicated. If for some reason a drive (SSD) has issues, a new one can be inserted instead and after a brief time reset, the system can get back to where things were before and continue on.
SPAN - all drives work as one volume in total. No redundancy and if anything has an issue, it affects everything. Gives greater capacity but at risk.
JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) - runs just as 1 or 2 drives (depending on how many drives inserted). Drives work independently. Handy for range of storage options.
Note on SSDs formatting
The SSD’s are sent formatted as Ex-FAT, which will work on Windows 11 but will also open on Mac OS. You may wish to reformat as other formats (APFS for instance on Mac). These drives have only been quick formatted to run operational tests and are brand new and only recently manufactured. We review them as formatted drives, to ensure disks register as their value and to to ensure they run properly under investigative tools for functionality.
Performance with dual SSD in this drive case is good but limitations exist with SATA. Best results are achieved with plugging into USB 3 port. Results will be quite good but better results would be achieved with our soon to be released M2 NVMe drives and cases, which will be a fair bit more. Of course the products shown here are pretty good value.
