GODO 2.5 inch Dual Bay Hard Drive Enclosure,USB3.0 to 2.5" SATA I/II/III HDDs SSDs RAID External Enclosure,Support UASP Trim & Max 16TB,RAID 0/1/JBOD/PM Mode,Aluminum,Black

The case itself is fine, but it came with zero English instructions. If you have built many external drives before it won't be a problem, but for someone who is building their first it might be annoying. Note: Drive was not recognized when power cable was used. If you have this problem, connect the data cable only into a powered USB port. As other's have said. Use the dip switch image on the product to configure the raid function instead of the manual. Not that I can read the manual...

I use this enclosure for backup duty on a server running Arch Linux. No compatibility problems. Configured RAID 0.

I received a DOA unit. It wont work with 2 disks inserted. Blinks for a few seconds then power LED turns off even with different disks. I tried an external USB with 5v 3a, for the 2 SSDs but it still wont work. Tested with 1 drive inserted and it works only after about 2 minutes of not showing up. Speed tested it for S&Gs and it's capped to USB 3.0 speeds (430MB/s) even in a thunderbolt USB C 3.1 port. I would have been fine with the QC issue of the vents being solid stickers and ripped the stickers off, but the enclosure doesn't even work, returned it.

I like it for it's size and light weight. Adding SSD would make it much lighter, but I preferred to put in normal 2.5" HDD since I use it for data retention. I really loved the option to pick raid option tucked away inside locked by screws, to give the additional sense of security that no one can change the mode accidentally. And love how it goes to sleep when not in use saving both the disks and power utilisation. Best part is that it can run off power from USB port not needing external power source.

I purchased this enclosure in the past and was very satisfied. Easy setup and zero noise from fan. I ordered a second and unfortunately the enclosure had a defective fan. The noise was so loud that it sounding like a plane on final approach. A replacemnt was sent and that one also has a similiar issue, QC is definitlley slipping. I guess a 1 oout of 3 is as best as its going to get. Will be sending this one back as well

This Raid enclosure is well designed. But, there are two items of note: 1. There are vent holes at each end for the internal fan to move air thru the enclosure. The designers specified that the inside of the two vent ports be covered with a thin foam material to catch dust and debris. But the application team specified a foam material that contains an adhesive backing which blocks the ventilation by preventing air from passing thru the foam. So I suggest one takes the time to remove the foam material and its adhesive backing. I used ethanol to loosen the adhesive and then scraped it off with a plastic spatula. 2. Without the external power cable providing power to the enclosure, I found the drive occasionally going offline (disconnecting). I recommend using the external power cable at all times. Aside from those two issues, this Raid enclosure is a real value for the money. It appears to be well designed and built with some care which equates to a quality piece of equipment that will last. For a few $$ I took a couple of old 500GB HDDs and assembled another 1TB of disk space for all those TV show and movies that I have downloaded.

Cumple, si tenes discos de 2.5 es una buena solución. No probé las configuraciones RAID, solamente con rsync. Dos meses de uso sin problemas.

The raid modes work, many people commenting that they don't must either have had a faulty unit or don't understand how to configure windows to use the enclosure. It's not as simple as it suggests and the instructions are useless. A quick Google search will have you on your way though. Now for the build: The thing feels as cheap as possible. Cause it is. Speeds: Close to advertised, but subject to thermal throttling. The fan is not anywhere near what you need for sustained disk use. Heat dissipation: use dependant. It's good enough for: reasonably short file transfers and backups. Like I used it to back up some DVDs to use with Plex. I wrote about 1.2tbs onto a 2 drive array. Temps reached exactly max safe operating temp on the drives. 60c. Never exceeded this under the sustained load. This would ofc vary on the load and drive. Bottom line: What are you using this for? Some retro game backups, DVDs, ebooks, music etc? It's fine. Looking for a dedicated backup enclosure? Something for long sustained read/writes? This ain't it chief. It will get too hot probably. I can also save you some trouble if you are looking for multi bay raid enclosures for cheap: look for used ones locally or just pay more for a quality one this isn't something you want to skip on now and regret later. I have a NAS with 8 bays and it was worth the insane price I paid.

good deal

It keeps electricuting me

I received this item on 15 Oct. 2025. It began malfunctioning today (4 December, 2025). (i.e. 50 days later) The problem: The fan runs at high speed continuously. (i.e. VERY noisy) Trouble Shooting Attempt: I dismounted the drive, unplugged its USB connection to the computer, and unplugged its power source. (As expected, it became totally silent.) I left it in this state for an hour. When I reconnected it to the computer (via USB) and its power source, it resumed running the fan at high speed.

簡単にRAIDが組めますがRAIDの状態を確認することができない。バックアップ必須。

It works as it should, the fan is bit too noisy.
