Has anyone had any experience with these raid enclosures?
I really need a lot of storage, and while I'd totally just build a nas and use a software solution I'm gonna be stuck with a laptop and well I'd like to have a somewhat small enclosure for all my storage.
I was gonna buy the WD My Book Duo 16TB but they apparently use some nonsense hardware encryption that can only be used in their enclosures.
So, I'm looking at getting one of these Mediasonic raid enclosures and just filling it with some drives.
Will these eat my files?

so what. there's ITX cases with four drive bays. Bump it up to uATX and you can get six. It ain't big, even in a cramped college dorm, and it'll be a proper computer that can host other services, use ZFS/btrfs, etc.

A nas would probably still cost more than one of these.

The size is a real problem to be honest I'd like it to be small enough to fit in a suitcase, hence why I was originally looking at the WD My Book Duo.

I hope you're not planning on putting anything with hard drives in it in checked baggage on an airplane, whether self-built or prefab.

TSA checking your things, yeah I know about that.
>>55084022
no, not that, it's that they throw that shit around like a cheap football. You'll arrive with dead hard drives.
>>55084072
Yeah, but I honestly have no fucking clue what else to do.
I'll have to pack crazy well I guess.
/DataHoarder/ General?

he's a pretty small-time hoarder if he's only in the market for four drives desu

But its the spirit that counts!
