Hello all,
While waiting for my new Mini to arrive, I'm looking at the wide variety of drive enclosures out there and would like to get some feedback.
I'm looking for a 2-bay enclosure to drop a couple 1TB drives into. I don't need RAID 0/1 as I'm planning to run both disks independent, using Data Backup 3/Chronosync etc. to manage the backups.
I would like the enclosure to cause the drives to sleep if the Mini is put into sleep mode as well.
Aesthetics aren't important since this will be going down into a cabinet (well vented).
A few items that are in my radar:
- OWC Mercury Elite: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEFW936AL2/ (I believe I would need this $149 version as the other are RAID only - I'm confirming with OWC)
- Oyen Digital: http://oyendigital.com/3.5-raid-enclosure.html#?
Any suggestions are highly welcome!
Regards |
