Just a quick Report

After setting up two of these in Florida with a 2013 iMac, one made the needful thing list for mine this month. Set up a 2TB AV Pro today for clone & work files. A 400 partition to back up the blade and 1.6TB for files. I'll add another tray when needed.

Current system is only 225mb, so a fresh SuperDuper copy took just under 24 minutes. Black Magic gave me 183/184 before I made the partition.
The big 4TB versions in Florida were getting a solid 198-200 up and down. With 5 platters, that's about right.

The clone boot was around 30 seconds, so not bad on USB3. Really spoiled with the internal at around 12, but I'll take it. Beats the hell outta Firewire. I'm guessing, but an SSD tray would probably feel just like the internal in this enclosure. I'll think about one down the road.

I know there are a few of these around. Just thought I'd toss my humble numbers into the mix here. Nice Device
