Comments about Aluratek Cavalry CyClone 2-Bay External Drive Enclosure:
I have three of these and have not had a single problem, either in raid mode or jbod. They run on all my macs and with the esata connection they are extremely fast. Hard to beat at this price.

Comments about Aluratek Cavalry CyClone 2-Bay External Drive Enclosure:
This thing refuses to play ball with my Macs... I can only see it in Disk Utility (have tried 10.5 and 10.6), and even then the thing never works. Tried running the pdisk commands from Terminal, and even erase, no go. I put the 2 Seagate 2tb barracudas in my Mac Pro, and they work great, formatted them, put them back, and once again, it's a no go. I even tried changing the pins on the the drives (and the pins on this controller, which is how you set the RAID type), still a no go. Wouldn't even show up on a laptop running windows. I even tried a PowerPC Powerbook!
