Newegg is currently offering the best deal ever on a RAID-capable 2.5-inch dual-bay USB enclosure in the CineRAID CR-H212 portable enclosure. The enclosure features support for multiple RAID and drive modes perfect for SSD use, such as RAID 0/1/JBOD/Normal drive access modes with SATA 6.0/3.0 Gbps support and powered USB 3.0 support for maximum portability without the need for an external power adapter, though the enclosure does include a DC input for such an adapter if necessary.
The enclosure is worth its $49.99 sticker price, but the additional mail-in rebate via prepaid card means that cheap portable RAID arrays are a realistic possibility now and explains the three per order limit on the deal, something unimaginable just a few years ago. In addition, a new coupon code brings the deal all the way down to $20 with code EMCYTZT3749.
