SATA/USB connectivity gives easy and direct access.

You can store / back-up a lot of data on 2 drives of 1 TB each, which is what the A-DATA XPG Dual SSD 3.5” RAID Enclosure offers. You can choose from seven different RAID modes, namely RAID0, RAID1, JBOD, Span, SAFE33, SAFE50 and GUI. The hardware switch on the backplate of the aluminum-cased enclosure enables you to switch between RAID modes.
