The use of two hard drives in a RAID configuration is widespread and popular due to its many advantages. However, those who want to take advantage of these benefits often face challenges. Not every motherboard is equipped with a RAID controller, and laptops typically fall outside the realm of possibilities. This is where the Icy Box IB-RD3802-C31 comes to the rescue, effectively converting two 3.5" SATA hard drives into a RAID array. This stylish hard drive enclosure for 3.5" drives can even accommodate two drives with unlimited storage capacity. The HDDs can be comfortably and quickly installed, swapped, and put into operation without tools, thanks to HotSwap and Plug & Play. The enclosure is primarily made of aluminum, making it stable and excellent at dissipating heat. Additionally, a large 60 mm fan at the back ensures cooling of the drives during heavy operation. RAID - no more, no less. The IB-RD3802-C31 effectively transforms 3.5" drives into a RAID array, independent of the operating system. Hard drive installation is tool-free, and you can choose between SINGLE, RAID 0, 1, and LARGE modes.
