Total of 4TB RAID-0?** A: Yes this will support dual 2.5, 2TB drives as a RAID0 stripeset. I am currently using it with two Samsung ST2000LM003, 9.5mm drives. **Q: How is the raid 1 rebuilding performance of this enclosure?** A: Sorry, but I'm not sure... I used 2 hdd 2.5 512 GB mirroring, for a year works fine, then one hdd die, but all the data was perfect at the other hdd.we can't see the rebuilding status, just the hardware swith. **Q: Will this work with Apple OS X time machine?** A: do you want to save the files to a Time-Machine? Yes, will work.do you want to use it as Time-Machine? Yes, will work. but I do not see the benefit in this. Better get a WD-2.5" Raid. This thing is super to ad two SSD´s and have a really fast drive that has even a Raid1. The USB 3.0 Controller is really fast in this one. **Q: Can you please tell me if it will work with Raid 1 (mirroring) with two different 1 TB Hard Drives. I have a Toshiba and a WD 2.5 inch drives. Thanks** A: Works for me in RAID1 mirroring mode (2x WD 750GB). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars OK. About my RAID using two 1 TB WD Red SATA III 5400 *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2014* Quickly listing some +/- of my new CineRAID.• With two Western Digital 1 TB WD Red SATA III 5400 RPM 16 MB Cache installed, the single USB port on my AirportExtreme (5th gen? dual N) DOES NOT provide enough power to the unit to mount. Blinks a few times, but won't mount.• A single USB port on my more recent aluminum Mac mini powers that same configuration just fine.• The plastic parts seem exceptionally brittle. I would not expect to dis/re assemble too often.• The bright blue activity LED - ahhh - make it stop. My peripheral kept blinking in my peripheral vision... until I taped over it.• Otherwise, fine. Fan-less, so it's very quiet. All-in-all, OK for the money so far. More like 3 1/2 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars ... to be limited to 2Tb and was not totally happy with one of the SATA III Hard Drives I ... *by A***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2015* It seems to be limited to 2Tb and was not totally happy with one of the SATA III Hard Drives I purchased from B&H... either ways I kind of give up on it cause I need at least 4Tb capacity!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, Bus Powered and Awesome Price! *by O***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2013* I bought this for my MacBook Pro to initially use in a RAID1 but then just decided to run it in Normal Mode so the drives were independent. I have it setup so that a backup job runs automatically to backup my internal MacBook Pro SSD to Drive_1 in the enclosure, when the job is complete another job runs a TimeMachine backup to Drive_2 in the enclosure. Its awesome.I highly recommend this enclosure. Built well, performs well with USB3, compact and feature rich. I did a lot of research for enclosures and this is by far the best for the price. Must have for anyone.My favorite part about the enclosure is that it has screwless access to the HDDs themselves, don't mistake this for HDDs NOT being able to be screwed in, because they can.PROS- Bus Powered - No AC Adapter needed- SuperSpeed USB 3.0 (Backwards Compatible to USB 2.0/1.0)- Optimized for Audio/Video Applications- Built-In RAID - support RAID 0, 1, JBOD and Normal Mode- Storage capacities up to 2TB*- Industrial aluminum design- Cool Blue Individual Drive Activity indicator LED- Mac® OS X, Linux and Windows® compatible- Standard One year factory warrantyEasy RAID SetupThe CineRAID Home CR-H212 features three RAID modes with an easy dip-switch RAID setup for customizable speed and protection levels.
