Mediasonic Dual Bay Raid+ 0/1/Single 3.5" SATA HDD Enclosure (HUR1-SU3S2) Review

I was looking for a reasonably priced 2-bay 3.5" RAID0 enclosure to replace some recently failed ones.

I found the everything very easy to install. It came with a screwdriver and all the screws necessary to mount 2 HDDs in the enclosure. The manual was included on a CD-ROM with a one page supplement on configuration. Installing the 2 HDDs from my old failed RAID was quick and easy. You have to set DIP switches and hold down a button to set the RAID/JBOD mode but this is pretty straight forward too.

There are options for single drive, RAID0, RAID1 and JBOD configurations for HDDs both larger or smaller than 2TB. I am using matched pairs of 1TB drives with RAID0 (striping) on a Mac tower for a video editing system. The box claims a support for up to 6TB (2 x 3TB). The speed seems to be pretty good. Everything worked first time. It did NOT preserve my data from the previous RAID setup, but I wasn't expecting it to. The OS asked me to reinitialize the disks when they were connected. Previous experience is that you have a good chance of losing your data with any reconfiguring, so be prepared for that. The instructions suggest you should be able to set up RAID1 (mirroring) without losing data but I haven't tried it.

I bought a second unit to replace other failed RAID0 enclosure and had the same positive experience with that one. They seem to be reasonably fast and reasonably quiet.

The enclosure has power and activity LEDs for each drive and also an "error" indicator for each drive, which I thought was interesting. There are switches on the back for auto power and fan management that I haven't messed with.

My one disappointment is that the enclosure only has USB3 and eSATA ports. I was hoping for Firewire-800, but I guess that is considered outdated now. The performance on the eSATA and USB ports seems to be respectable, though, even using USB2.

The first enclosure has been running for about 2 weeks without any problems, and the second for about a week now.
