    Guys, I just bought 2 Seagate 8 TB Enterprise hard drive and I was hoping to put them into a Dual-bay enclosure and into Raid 0. I was wondering if you guys have suggestion for which enclosure to go for? Thanks!

    Guys, someone suggested this enclosure to me. What are your opinions?

    I think the HDD itself is way to new for anyone to really get a handle on the setup. Also thanks for the info that 8tb exist now I can save up to get a couple of them and more in the future to reduce the HDD I currently have to reduce weight and space.

    Actually, I ended up buying the Icy Dock. I installed both drives inside the Icy Dock, but the drives are not been recognized by my new Sager laptop. The drives work fine when I just reset them and then set them up (either in JBOD, Big or RAID1/0). But if I turn them off, the next time I turn the drives on, my laptop cannot recognize the drives... I am a sad sad man right now...
