Desktop space is at a premium these days, I am actually speaking in digital and true to life terms. While more space on your computer is a must, also more space on the top of your desk is nice as well. The first external hard drives that came out were huge and cumbersome beasts that anchored your desk down enough to protect it from gale force winds. Today however the designs have become more sleek and compact. What if I told you that I found a sleek and compact dual drive enclosure? Well that is exactly what the Eagle Tech Consus Dual Bay JBOD Enclosure is. Although it is larger than some of the tiny 2.5 HDD enclosures on the market and a lot of the newer 3.5 HDD enclosures, it is still by far, much smaller then the first HDD enclosures that came on the market.  Now let’s see if this product is good for you:

Closer Look:

The packaging of the Eagle Tech Consus Dual Bay JBOD Enclosure is very well designed. One major point I would like to make about this product’s packaging is that it has the “window” I always talk about. A window is very important in my opinion when I am buying something, I am the type that if it doesn’t have a window on the side, I pop open the packaging in the middle of the store. I do not care about the dirty looks from the employees, if I am buying something I want to see it first. The window in this case is shaped like an eagle’s head which blends into the over all design and theme making it a plus to the packaging design.

 

 

The over all design of the product itself is simple but the contrast of the black and orange mixed with the blue/red LED really make this enclosure stand out. The addition of an exhaust fan adds tremendously to the overall appeal if the Eagle Tech Consus Dual Bay JBOD Enclosure. The one touch backup feature at the back is a great bonus but I would prefer to see it integrated into the front some how, even perhaps using the round LED window as a button for this option.
