I have 2x1TB external drives with a dead enclosure. Can't be read with individual enclosures, must be read together. Will this work?

I'm not sure what you mean by they must be read together. I have two drives (a 500 GB and a 1 TB) that work fine in this unit but both worked fine in the old computers they came from before I pulled them out.

Hi. I had this item and due to MY own stupidity in the placement of some coffee, well, I need another. I realize this is a late answer, but just in case you have not purchased one yet: When you say "must be read together", it sounds like you're running either a RAID 0 (Striping) or RAID 1 (Mirroring") solution, but even if not, the product description answers your question: Read & Write 2 Hard Drives simultaneously (Note: Device's eSATA must support the "port multiplier" function to see both drives, USB will automatically detect) The portion marked "NOTE" is especially important... A local Big Box store has them on a sale ending today, but I prefer buying from Amazon so thought I'd check if they offer it. They do, so I'm purchasing my replacement today. I've used only Thermaltake power supplies for years, and their name on any product is a thumbs up to purchase :)

I bought mine long before 2TB HDDs existed; I suspect this enclosure might not support a drive of that size. Sorry I can't assist.

I do not think so. This is the RAID version of the enclosure so it will reformat the drives to a single volume. Look at the non-RAID version and it might be able to do what you want.

I use a WD portable drive and it works well with this USB hub. (I did not try with more than one external drives.)

Are you sure that you used the USB cable correctly? You need to plug both USB cables to your computer for the drive to work. One would only provide power, and the other would be used to transfer DATA, neither one can work on its own. As a troubleshooting step, try to use a drive in the enclosure that you know for sure is not dead, if that one works, and the other one is still giving you problems, then it might be a problem in the drive itself but not the enclosure. However, if the drive that you know is working well, still doesn't show up on the computer, then it might be a problem in the enclosure. Hope this helps!

Yes and No...Yes; only if the external drive is a "bare drive" (not in an enclosure)...No; if the hard drive is enclosed in a case.

This enclosure will work with any HD 1tb to 2tb or smaller size . It's very good that two ports are on it making it very easy to use.

I don't know. I am unsure if the adapter I had works properly. Your system sees something, but if you reformat, you will lose the info on the drive.

I don't see why not. I'm running two new WD Blue 1TB drives (striped) and they work fine.

With the USB connection it will see both drives. If you use eSATA, you can see only one.

It should work if you have a SATA drive. You need to correctly open and mount the drive into the enclosure and snap the enclosure closed.

I'm not sure either. I've only used mine for 1 drive. I doubt it would work for 2 at once. You would probably need 2 adapters and some software that could reconstruct the data, which is shared between the 2 raid 0 drives.

I have not tested this, but I see no reason why it wouldn't. When you plug it in, it is recognized just like any other USB external would be recognized. No special drivers needed. The RAID is hardware controlled, the machine only sees 1 logical drive.

Should wrk. I only have two drives connected but they work just fine. I also use a external DVD player/recorder and printer. all have no problem working. Good luck.

This WILL work with drives larger than 3TB. I have one of the new 8TB SeaGate drives in one and it works perfectly.

Thank you for your interest in our products. No that will not work with this external drive.

The NAS adapter will only recognize drives that are formatted as FAT. Most likely your drives are NTFS (for 2TB). But, if you had 4 USB sticks connected to a hub, you may be ok.
