5 Stars
I love this thing
I love this thing!!!What a time saver!!! No more DVDs for me...They could improve the joystick on this thing, but I take a horrible joystick over burning and carrying CD/DVDs any day of the week!!!You need to put your ISOs inside a folder called _ISO or _iso , and inside that folder, you can create sub-folders to organize your stuff...It also can emulate external HDs and Thumb drives (writable or read-only)... Which is great for keeping your stuff safe on unknown system (if you write protect it).And if you like to integrate all windows updates to your installation disk, you can use the virtual thumb drive instead of creating ISOs, that way, you can always change something later on, without having to recreate the whole thing... (I personally use NTLite and WinReducereX, they both do basically the same thing, but sometimes one is better than the other, depending on the version... So if it doesn't work on one, try the other...)I hope this helps...Some tips:# Use a SSD instead of a regular HD (the Samsung 850 evo up to 500GB is perfect (it uses very little power, one of the lowest on the market) (the 1TB uses way more power... Stay with 500GB or less... You can Google "samsung 850 evo power consumption" and look at the anandtech site for the power consumption compassion of many models and sizes)# Format your drive as NTFS (the only compatible with the VHD_Tool++.exe that you download from their site)# Use VHD_Tool++.exe to create VHD files with the size you want the virtual HD to be;# f you want it to be a virtual thumb drive, rename the VHD file to RMD (virtual Thumb Drive);# You can also add &D and &DW to the name of the files to force a behavior; VHD and RMD modes based on the name of the file: (I used VHD as the extension, but it works the same way for RMD) NAME.VHD = CD-MODE (it will mount you virtual HD or thumb drive only) NAME&D.VHD = DUAL-MODE (it will mount your virtual HD and the real HD, but the real will be read-only) NAME&DW.VHD = DUAL-MORE (same as above but the real HD is writable)# Create a folder structure that makes since for you... i.e:_ISO\ISOs\Windows Install\Win 7_ISO\ISOs\Windows Install\Win 10_ISO\ISOs\Tools\Some recovery iso (whatever tools you use...)_ISO\ISOs\Live Images\Ubuntu.iso_ISO\VHDs\virtual drive you use to backup you friend's file before you do a clean install.VHD_ISO\RMDs\virtual thumb drive you keep you windows installation disk updated (using NTLite).RMD

5.0 out of 5 stars Convenient but not necessarily fast
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2016
I used to carry a full key ring of six DTSE9 flash drives plus two Sandisk Extremes, and even then I didn't always have the bootable disc I needed. I was constantly reformatting and Rufus-ing the drives and it sucked. This enclosure has replaced all of my flash drives and is much more convenient. The build quality is solid. The menu is easy to understand. I like that you can save the currently loaded iso so that you don't have to frantically try to find the right one while the computer is booting. The company seems legit. They release firmware updates somewhat regularly and replied to my email within one day.

The only downside to this enclosure is that it will bottleneck a fast SSD. It uses SATAII internally which has a real-world max throughput of about 250MB/s. Mechanical hard drives are too slow to be affected by this limit whatsoever, but a good SSD will have its sequential read/write speeds cut in half running in this enclosure. Is it faster than an optical drive? Much much faster. Is it faster than my trusty DTSE9's? Hell yes. Is it faster than a Sandisk Extreme? Barely. Am I going to deduct a star? Nope. Mea culpa for not reading the fine print on their website. It's a bummer that it has the internal SATAII bottleneck but ultimately I bought it for convenience, not speed. And realistically most I/Os are random anyway which means that for real-world use there is probably not as much of a bottleneck as the benchmarks would suggest. This is also why I would still recommend putting an SSD into the enclosure even with the SATAII connection... SSDs have much faster random performance than mechanical drives so you still see a definite benefit.

Bottom line is that it's a great product, just don't expect it to put up any big bragging numbers on the benchmark.

Reviewed in France on December 14, 2018
Bonjour
Je ne regrette pas mon achat en effet j’ai acheté ce boitier pour éviter de me trimbaler des tas de clef USB outils, Linux et Windows ce boitier est très simple d’utilisation et possède trois :
- mode dual le boitier donne la possibilité d’émuler un live ISO et de bénéficier de l’accès au dd
- le mode single CD c’est juste le live ISO
- le mode single DD ou la cela fonctionne comme un boitier classique
Personnellement j’emplois le mode single CD seulement quand je wipe un disque dur afin que le processus ne m’efface pas les données du disque
Satisfait du produit
