ICY DOCK MB561US-4S-1 Quad Bay External Enclosure Review

Large volume external storage has also been and will remain to be popular just for the fact that many people do not have room inside their cases for extra hard drives.  Also external storage allows you to easily use that storage on multiple systems with minimal effort.  With the introduction of eSATA external drives can now be just as fast as internal drives so we have seen quite a few eSATA external enclosures released lately.  Today we will be taking a look at the MB561US-4S-1 Quad Bay External Enclosure from ICY DOCK that features an internal port multiplier and both eSATA and USB 2.0 connections.  Let’s take a look… Special thanks to ICY DOCK for providing us with the MB561US-4S-1 Quad Bay External Enclosure for review. Features – 3 Speed Adjustable Cooling Fan, including auto setting featuring Smart Cooling Technology – 4 Bay 3.5” SATA I / II removable external hard drive enclosure support SATA hot-swap.

ICY DOCK MB662US-2S External RAID Dual Hard Drive Enclosure Review

External hard drive enclosures are very common these days, especially with large file sizes of HD movies and other content.

Axus FiT RAID 500 Storage Device Review

I myself have not played around with a RAID setup as I’ve never had more than 1 of the same hard drive kicking around to try it out. I have seen RAID in action and some of my buddies love to have RAID setups, but I’ve never really looked into it until now. When asked what I wanted to look at next in terms of product reviews, I wanted to look at a storage system with redundant capabilities.
