Product Description
The CADA-SA2-Black Series offers an unbeatable combination of RAID data protection, 3.0Gbit/sec eSATA speed and a vast storage capacity of 1 TB (500 GB mirrored). This dual-bay disk array features swappable hard disks and a built-in RAID controller. The unit arrives preconfigured in RAID 1 to protect your important data, if one drive fails, simply replace it with an identical drive and the data will automatically rebuild. Leave it in RAID 1 mode for automatic background rebuilding and optimum security for your files, or configure to RAID 0 for increased data reading and writing speeds. Factory default is RAID 1 GUI mode, but it also supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 0+1(safe 33/safe 50). Its SATA interface provides a faster boot process and quicker loading of programs and data. Whether saving large files, video, music, protecting databases or working directly on the drive, the CADA-SA2 Series delivers high-capacity performance and data security. The units are factory pre-configured in RAID 1 and ready to use out of the box. Install the easy-to-use RAID configuration software and the included SATA to eSATA bracket kit to take full advantage of the incredible set of features.

Pros:
Esata = fast!
Raid options work.
Hard drives seem to be stable without clicking.
Got it for warehouse deals for 100 (has a scratch on the side). Though I'd be still be happy if I paid more.
Can upgrade hard drives down the road. Enclosure alone would cost almost what I paid.
Built solid, but I wouldn't drop it.
Despite the comments on these drives I feel the fan isn't that loud like some say.
Shipped well
Cons:
Big and heavy.
Fan placement could of been better, but it does it's job. Lights are quite bright I masked them with black tape.

I've had this device for over a year now without a lick of problems. I was originally looking for a single, 1 TB disk, BUT I'M SO GLAD I BOUGHT THIS ONE!!! This unit HAS TWO DISKS in it, and the software allows you use those DISKS in several ways. They way I'm using it is called a "SAFE DRIVE". The system writes everything to BOTH disks. If 1 disk ever goes down, it automatically uses the second disk. Once the bad disk is replaced, it will automatically write everything from the working disk over to the new disk. NOTE: THIS MEANS YOU END UP WITH A 500GB DRIVE INSTEAD OF 1 TB, but the extra safety is worth the loss in disk space. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

What else can I review about? It only worked for three months. I have 500gb of data in it, with a seal saying if broken warranty void. No way I wanna send it to repair with my data. Why 500GB? I used it as RAID1, so i do not have to have to buy another disk for dual backups. But i just realized it was a mistake.
