Addonics’ portable RAID enclosure can furnish room for two 2.5-inch drives.

The enclosure can either support two 2.5-inch SATA drives or up to four Compact Flash cards using an elective adapter. It connects to a host Mac or PC using USB 2.0 or external Serial ATA (eSATA — beneficial on the Mac using each host controller card).

The drive features push-button RAID setting support and supports RAID Level 0 and Level 1, JBOD (Just a Bunch of DIsks), BIG, SAFE50, SAFE33 or GUI modes using built-in hardware.

The chassis opens to allow you access to the drive mechanisms without needing any screws to be removed. Addonics also includes USB and eSATA connecting cables. The chassis measures 5.24 x 2.27 x 1.3 inches and weighs 7.1 ounces (without drives installed).
