External 1TB SSD Solution for nMP

just found this on amazon. Now the "cheap" TB-enclosures start showing 2*2.5"-drives. Could be enough for many.

I noticed that awhile ago... it has been around since at least the fall of last year. My only concern with that would be the fan. Someone should be able to design one of these for SSDs that doesn't need a fan at all. Oh, and it should be black!

Or ... get the older one at MacMall for $80 and swap out the hard disk for a SSD.

Thanks guys, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Killer prices. Gonna drop a 850evo in that for my audio sample drive.

I have two of these, which I have replaced with OWC's Thunderbay 4 mini. The Akitio Thunder Duo has a major flaw in it's design - the fan. 1. It's too small and doesn't cool drives down very much, and 2. The fan fails. I've had Akitio replace the fan on one of mine, and that was after being told how to acquire a replacement fan from Akitio by another user of the product on another web forum site, who has also had their fan die on them.
