(in the original box) After my plane flight I opened up my checked luggage to find the metal HDD retention bracket warped with the drives partially hanging out of the enclosure next to a TSA inspection note. Installed - twice in the trunk of my car and once on a domestic planeįlight in my checked luggage. I've shipped this thing across the country three times with hard drives It randomly powered offĭuring the copy but after I rebooted it I never saw the issue again Others report except for one time when I was copying data off of it for 10 hours straight. Performs as expected and I haven't seen any disconnect issues like some (no TLER I believe) The auto USB on-off functionality I use my enclosure in RAID5 mode with 4X SAMSUNG EcoGreen F4 It's would've been better if they integrated the power brick into the enclosure and put the plug in the back much like on the Sans Digital TR4UTBPN. I'm also not a big fan of the power connector coming in from the side rather than from the back, but this is a fairly minor complaint. If I put the enclosure on the top of my desk, the power brick will end up hanging off of the ground because of how they've placed it which is rather annoying. One aspect of the design I don't like is the power brick the cable for it feels of rather low quality and it's a bit on the short side in my opinion as well. Overall it's a pretty nice looking enclosure and the build quality is much better than you'd expect for the price. The indicator lights on the front of the enclosure provide some useful information and are laid out in an intuitive and logical manner. The enclosure is constructed mainly of metal and feels very heavy and solid with the exception of the front door which doesn't seem to latch too well and feels rather light and flimsy. This is a great price for a plug and play USB3.0 hardware RAID box. The Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 has a reasonable MSRP of $199.99 but can often be found on Newegg with a rebate or promo code (or even both) which brings the price down to around $129.99. It has been working for almost two years now without a single hiccup and even when a hard drive died it proceeded to reconstruct my array with a replacement drive without any problems. Personally I use it in RAID5 mode over USB3.0 with 4x SAMSUNG EcoGreen F4 ST2000DL004 2TB hard drives for backup and media storage.
