[SOLVED] Is there a way to combine two Samsung T1 & Samsung T3 external drives into one enclosure?

[torkfilms]

I have two Samsung T1 and Samsung T3 with 1TB drive capacity; I would like to combine them into a small enclosure to use as a combined RAID 0 for storage (rather than carrying two drives around). Is this possible, if so, where do I go to get the enclosure/recommendations?

1. There is no external enclosure I am aware of that will take 2 drives like that into one "box".
2. RAID 0 is worse than useless on a concept like that. All of the fail drawbacks with RAID 0, none of the speed benefit going through the USB connection.

Thanks for your feedback USAFret - is there a way to combine both of these drives into one box but no RAID 0, just 2 drives in one box showing both drives as individual capacity/storage?

See if you can find a bare Boost enclosure.
It will take mSata 2 drives which is what those samsungs have inside.

That's exactly what I am talking about and wanting - thanks for pointing me to the right source... you're the best! i just wish the design of the exterior of the enclosure is nicer - the likes of LaCie enclosures... anyhow, thanks agian!

If you find one, I'd like to hear how the process went. Be sure to back up data on those Samsungs before you swap them over.
