CR-H216
2-Bay Portable RAID Enclosure

Mac / PC / Linux / USB 3.0 / RAID
Designed for 2.5" SATA HDDs or SSDs
Versatile & Robust
Advanced storage and easy RAID Setup

RAID 0 offers large capacity and highest speeds by stripping both drives together, but no protection.

RAID 1 offers full data protection by mirroring both hot-swappable disks for non stop data access or to use a mirrored drive as a backup.

JBOD offers one large capacity of both drives. Normal mode is also an option for individual drive (pass-through) detection.
Home and Office
This enclosure is suitable for every home or office professional dealing with data archiving, backup and audio/video post-production with SD and HD environments. The USB 3.0 host connectivity allows you to effortlessly move data between stations and backwards compatible to USB 2.0 environments.

Rating: 5/5 Unique USB RAID Enclosure for Portable Backups October 23, 2017 This CineRAID CR-H216 Dual Bay Portable Enclosure was exactly what I needed for on the go backups of my MacBook Pro. This box requires two matched drives, and as you read and write data, the CineRAID box will write the same data to both drives. Why does it do that - because that way you'll have identical data on two physical drives instead of one. If a drive failure occurs, you'll still have one drive left with valid data. It's like having a backup of a backup. Because these are "laptop" drives, they're inherently small and the two units stacked in the enclosure make an easy to store and transport package while you're on the go. I've used this type of technology for years in large server farms, and being able to squeeze two drives into a package that will fit in a large pocket is perfect for travel. Additionally, the CineRAID has a password option that can be used to deny access to anyone if the enclosure is lost or misplaced. Overall, it's a great package that anyone who is serious about computing should consider for portable and secure backup.

Rating: 5/5 This product has been a reliable backup. February 18, 2016 I have two 1TB HD mirrored giving me the additional backups I want for my pictures. So far so good. Only a couple of months but I have had good success with my HDs in the past, so I expect a few years of service.
