StarTech.com 2-Bay External RAID Enclosure - eSATA, USB 3.0 | HDD Enclosure

Hi,
I was given a Startek enclosure Model S3520BU33ER as a present, can it be used with just one drive or does it need to have two drives fitted? Is it RAID only?

Thanks,
Gerald

In theory, it should work with the JBOD setting. Just be sure that when connecting a drive to test the theory, that there is no data on it that isn't fully backed up.

According to a Startek support advisor, 'The S3520U33ER can be used in JBOD mode, which is the non-RAID mode'.
