Aluratek Cavalry CyClone 2-Bay External Drive Enclosure
The Cavalry CyClone 2-Bay External Drive Enclosure from Aluratek is an external enclosure for 3.5" SATA hard disks. It features two drive bays and an integrated RAID controller. The enclosure features USB 2.0 and eSATA ports for connection to a computer.
Please Note: This enclosure supports a maximum capacity of 2TB in a 2x 1TB configuration. It does not support 1.5TB or larger hard drives.
- RAID 0 and 1 Support
- The drive is configured as a RAID 0 or RAID 1, which treats the two physical disks as one volume. RAID 0 stripes two disks together greatly increases disk performance, without sacrificing capacity. RAID 1 mirrors data to both physical disks, halving total capacity while maintaining a real-time backup.
- USB 2.0 and eSATA Interface
- The enclosure can connect to a computer via USB 2.0 or eSATA. This allows you to connect it to almost any modern notebook or desktop computer.
- Simple Installation
- Simply connect the power cable and the data cable of the drive to the ports inside the enclosure. The drive is then ready to be used as a plug and play device.
- 3.5" Drive Compatibility
- The enclosure can be used with 3.5" SATA hard drives. Drives can be of any capacity, but must be installed as a matched pair in regards to capacity in order for the RAID system to properly function.

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!
