Conclusion:

All in all I was fairly impressed with the With the Ineo Technology I-NA309 D Pro Super Speed USB 3.0 to SATA Dual Bay RAID Enclosure. Not only does it look good sitting on your desk, it does so quietly. When the drve enclosure is up and running it is whisper quiet. I can even hear the the drive arms moving on the hard drives over the fan. The data transfer speeds on the Single Drive and Safe (RAID 1) settings were about average, while the read and write speeds of the Fast (RAID 0) setting was quite impressive.



But with the good comes the bad. The main power cord has a hard time staying plugged in if the drive gets moved around slightly, so I would suggest leaving it in one place. Having the reset button and the drive selection knob on the back of the enclosure instead of on the inside may be asking for a potential disaster.

The Bigbruin.com shopping pages finds the I-NA309 D Pro with a current price tag of just over $80.00, which includes a limited one year warranty, so it is actually priced very competitively for the features and performance that you get.

For its near silent operation, the Ineo Technology I-NA309 D Pro Super Speed USB 3.0 to SATA Dual Bay RAID Enclosure earns the Bigbruin.com "Whisper Quiet" award.
