INEO I-NA305J JBOD Hard Drive Enclosure Review

The iNEO I-NA305J Dual Bay JBOD Storage System for SATA Hard Disk Drives is a great enclosure for the money.  The value provided by a tool less design that is completely secure by both device locks and the ability to use the Lock Port make this enclosure especially useable in High Risk areas.  Performance and Power consumption are on par with most other disk enclosures on the market.

The ability to see the hard drive activity is a nice added bonus.  I also really appreciate the ability to configure the fan speed myself, this way I can decide what speed (Or attributed noise level.) is acceptable to me.

The only thing that I find wrong with this enclosure is the JBOD requirement when inserting 2 drives.  I’d rather see this being an option where I could choose between JBOD or 2 separate drives.  While JBOD has its value, I’d rather lose the data on one of my drives than both my drives.
