ineo JBOD + quality HDD(s) = happy storage April 3, 2010 Kevin Smith (SAN DIEGO, CA, US) I purchased this ineo JBOD one month ago due to prior experience with "out-of-the-box" external storage heat dissipation problems...and ultimately HDD failure.
Installation and formatting of my 1.5 TB/500 GB WD HDD combo was completed within 15 minutes without any problems. Both HDDs stayed nice and cool due to the open design. The only complaint is a slightly noisy fan but I can live with it.

new home for my western digital mybook drive March 20, 2010 Kurt Perschke (NY NY) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had a western digital mybook 500g drive go funky on me and an IT guy suggested it was probably the case not the drive. so I just popped it into this new case today, and it boots up right away on my mac. problem solved.
a few notes:
some have mentioned the led cable is a bit short, yes it is. it also did not line up with the pins on my WD anyway. so my blue light is not on. I am actually happy about this, one less glow light is fine.
once unpacked the case seemed a bit scuffed up in the front corners. sometimes you just get the sense that you might not be the first person to use it you know? if this was a new drive+case I would be more bothered, or if it wasn't going to end up hidden anyway. however it is something to note.
also there is not an sata cable, you slide the drive right into the connection, then its screwed in place. some may not like this, seems fine to me.
the instructions are good, screws are included with a usb cable. and the case is really metal, with metal not plastic or rubber connections for those that care. the fan seems robust and is replaceable. the air flow is straight thru, a good thing.
the 'one touch backup' button is on the back and honestly looks like a reset button. it only works on certain PC OS anyway, but I can't imagine anyone really using it with their software, with all the excellent software options that are better.
as others have noted, this is NOT a RAID. JBOD stands for 'just a bunch of disks'. they will read as one disk.
I bought this because it wasn't much more than a single sata disk case, it had a fan (which is very quite but not totally silent), it was metal, and the airflow looked right, and now I have an extra slot when I need one. we have a bunch of WD mybook drives in those plastic cases and I like having options. I can't speak to what will happen in 6 months.
other than the dings on the face, I am happy and its up and running.
Awesome! February 15, 2010 Tony Langston (Oklahoma City, OK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was skeptical with the price, but after I installed the 2 1TB drives and turned it on it was flawless. I am going to order another one just so I can have it. Very easy to use, very simple design, works great!!
Great, simple, east to use, Hard Drive Case. December 8, 2009 Andy Burnfield (Longview, Texas USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love this product. I had two 1 TB drives laying around so I bought this product because it was one of the cheapest I found. With in 10 minutes I had the drives installed and it was up and running. I use this as a backup drive on my network and for that purpose it works great.
