1. Introduction：
The Vantec Dual Bay External HDD Enclosure
is a quick and simple way to expand storage
capacity to your computer. It comes without
the hassle of diving inside the PC and
messing with all those wires, cables and
connections. The NST-360MX-SR provides
maximum storage capacity of two spinning
hard drives for your precious family photos,
music, videos, and games. It supports JBOD,
Individual, Raid 0, and Raid 1 Modes for
effective storage management tailoring to
your individual needs. The sturdy drive
cage protects your hard drive while being
enclosed in an aluminum case which
effectively draws away the heat produced
by your valuable hard drives. The front
vents and rear fan keep your hard drives
cool which improve performance all at the
same time. The Vantec Dual Bay External
HDD Enclosure is a high performance
enclosure offering a high capacity storage
solution simultaneously providing extreme
durability and portability allowing personal
data to be stored in style!
