Does it support RAID 1? Considering that my motherboard supports usb 3.0, can this be enclosure used as my main storage?

I sincerely sorry to tell you this item could not support RAID.Also it could support USB 3.0 Host and can be used for your main storage.

Orico 9528U3 is the lowest model with no RAID options available. It does not support RAID 1 (mirroring). I have it working as 2 separate drives, for storing my large files. There are other Orico models (i.e.: ...RUS3, ...SUSJ3) that have manual RAID settings, but this model does not.

Use the Non-raid drivers. Don't bother using the PCI-e cards raid. It's complete garbage. If you're using Linux, use mdadm and LVM, if you're using windows use either the Dynamic Disks Strip or Storage Spaces. I leave the drives in Legacy mode using the mentioned driver, DrivePool to put them all together, and SnapRaid for backup. I gave up on any sort of raid a long time ago. There is NO way to get the data back should you loose a drive (raid 1 case.)

StarTech PEXESAT32 2 Port SATA 6 Gbps PCI Express eSATA Controller Card states that it supports RAID0 and RAID1

Yes it comes with both drives, and yes it supports RAID 0 or 1. I use RAID 1 with my iMac.

No idea but Google around. I see lots of comments about SSD and RAID setups on the net. Good luck!

This is diskless - just be sure to get HD's that are made for NAS (Seegate ST4000VN000, WD WD40EFRX, etc) do not use energy savers or spin down disks, it will cause havoc on your RAID integrity. So plz do read what drives are supported and are recommended. I put the ST4000VN000, in all of my devices, works great.

Hello Tom....I'm not sure... I'm using it on a 500GB sata II.... But since it is USB 3.0 I don't think why it wont handle it. Anyway.... Read my post... The enclosure itself is very nice but for some reason the deive keeps disconnecting and reconecting..... I think it is a connector design issue.

You probably mean RAID 0 because RAID 1 is mirroring. I had it configured as RAID 10, it worked for a while until it failed but not because it was part RAID configuration.

The drive as it is , is a USB3 . To have it Thunderbolt capable you would need to buy the optional Thunderbolt adapter. Would the Thunderbolt adapter workd on the 1 TB drive ?. I dont know

The one I bought has hardware raid. I have 4 * 1tb drives installed configured as RAID 5.

It does not but it's default bios can raid for raid1 other than that u will red to get your own or a software raid.

I've got two 2TB ESATA phantom drives connected to it. Supports Raid 0, and 1 , 6gbs if the drives are capable of 6gbs (SATA3). Mine are only 3gbs but for backing up it gets the job done. I can also choose to boot from these drives on my Dell XPS 8500. Hope this helps.

Use the Intel Raid Controller that is on your motherboard if you are going RAID 0, that's what I would do. I am using the card for an SSD which was perfect for my computer, big jump in performance. Not sure how it would work under RAID 0, seeing how I have never used it for that. Hope this helps.

Yes it supports hi capacity drives over 1Tb and you can connect up to 3 drives plus DVD ROM or 4HD You can install two 3tb drives in raid configuration (software RAID works under windows) 0 or 1.

Yes, it will also work with USB 2, but there are probably cheaper options for that. By default it is set to JBOD mode, there is a jumper that you switch one way or the other for RAID 0 or RAID 1. It is very easy to do and there are clear instructions in the included set up manual.

Thank you. The board is an ASUS Sabertooth Z87 with a RAID controller onboard. I want to use both a RAID data array and SSD drives for OS. I am told the board can do this but I'm unsure about setup of this feature and thought the card may be an easier way to control the array and set the BIOS for hot swap SATA and let the card control the array. Maybe I should look at a different RAID card.

it supports full Sata III with USB3.0 but 3Gbs with esata cable..... which is what i use. It is very fast and by far the best Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5-Inch hard drive i have ever used bar none !
