2TB Cavalry CADA External Hard Drive (2-bay) w/ eSATA Kit

Wow, nice deal. I've purchased 2-bay external enclosures (Macally, USB only, around $40+ship from Newegg) and was thinking of buying another enclosure for my 1.5TB drives I just bought from Ebay (30% cashback). Instead, I purchased those "docking stations." I might have purchased one of these instead if I had seen it earlier.
 
Just finished comparing on the Egg.. This deal seems pretty nice considering the cheapest comparable setup with a 2-bay enclosure that does the same would cost around $315.00 (shipped).

Not to mention as well that if these are the WD10EACS 1TB SATA hard drives, they go for around $99.99 each bringing the total of the drives almost to the same total amount of the complete Cavalry enclosure setup.

Also, figure I can end up using the current 1TB drives in the enclosure later on for a future pc build and upgrade the enclosure drives to 1.5 or 2 TB..
 
JugStafe:
don't count on upgrading these enclosures to above 1TB. 1TB seems to be a "magic limit" for a bunch of manufacturers. That sad, this is still a great deal.
 
I got it and was going to send it back as I want a true NAS with ethernet capabilities and this does not have it. The Egg is going to charge me $33 to restock the thing, so is anyone interested in buying this one? $215 shipped???
 
I grabbed one too for TV storage on an HTPC. I'm relatively happy with it, although it's slightly noisier than I'd like so I'm going to stick it inside a cabinet.

It's based on the Silicon Image Steelvine processors, as reviewed by tom's a while back.

Speed in raid 0 feels definitely snappier than single drive.
