SilverStone DS221 Dual Bay RAID Enclosure

Small, Fast and Portable!

A little while ago we tested the Thermaltake BlacX Duet eSATA & USB Docking station and now we can compare it to this DS221 2.5" HDD Enclosure by SilverStone Technology. It has two bays that support 2.5" SATA drives that are hot swappable.

This DS221 usually retails for around $80 but you can probably find great deals if you search online (the lowest I found it for was $73.99). Use the Price Comparison! link above and see for yourself. This is a plug-n-play docking station kind of unit but it supports RAID0/1 and also JBOD (just a bunch of disks) modes. It looks great and is small enough to go almost anywhere. Let's see how it compares to the Thermaltake BlacX Duet.


DESIGN, CONTROLS AND PACKAGING
The DS221 has two 2.5" SATA drive bays with doors. On the front you have the two doors for the drive bay (these doors have locks that allow you to secure them in place) and there is also a Reset button at the very bottom. Each door also has drive activity LED's for power (obviously) and activity notifications. On the back you will have the RAID0/1 and JBOD mode slider, the 5V DC jack, USB 2.0 and eSATA ports. There is also a stand that you can use to well, stand this enclosure upright. The enclosure is small enough to be portable so you can carry it with you anywhere. It
is 168mm (6.6") in length, 120mm (4.7") wide, 28.3mm (1.1") dept and weighs only about 370g ( 0.82 lbs). The package includes the DS221 enclosure itself, the AC adapter, a USB type A-B cable, eSATA cable, a stand and the user guide.
