Icy Box IB-3662U3

Icy Box has a reputation for making no-nonsense, practical computing devices, and the IB-3662U3 is no exception. Its matt aluminium exterior looks smart, and its function as a dual-bay external JBOD disk caddy is straightforward, with little in the way of fripperies. Insertion and removal of disks is simple and, happily, toolfree, and setup is instant, as no drivers are required either. Of course, while the raw simplicity makes setup simple, it does mean there are no extras, such as auto-backup or RAID capabilities, and there isn’t a network port either, so it can’t be used as a rudimentary NAS. If none of that is important, however, and you simply desire a home for a large slab of external storage, the IB-3662U3 is ideal.
