Does this enclosure work with ssd (solid state drives)?

Hello! Yes this enclosure will work with SSD's. However they will not fit in the drive bays without the use of a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter Bracket. We recommend the Newertech Adaptadrive (found here: http://a.co/8beqOas) for situations like this.

In raid 1, if one drive fail and after the failed drive is replaced, can this enclosure rebuild its raid 1 without being connected to the pc?

Hello. This enclosure would need to be connected to a computer in order to properly power on and rebuild the RAID after a failure.

If one drive fails, is it as easy as just pulling the failed drive and adding a new one if configured in Raid 1?

Yes - though pulling involves powering the unit down and disassembling it, especially if the failed drive is in bay #1. It no longer matters which bay the new drive is in - the unit will rebuild to the empty drive. This is a huge improvement from their older RAID units where the good drive had to be in bay 1 because it copied from bay 1 to bay 2 no matter regardless of which was the empty drive.

I am considering this enclosure to set up two 6 tb hard drives on raid 1. which would you recommend: western digital black, blue or red drives?

All versions should work paired in the enclosure, but are rated for different applications. Black is the higher performance drive: Video work and higher access speeds at 7200rpm. Red is for long life in constant "trickle" streaming as in security, or for building a NAS, at 5400rpm. Blue is for general "consumer" storage applications at 5400rpm. There is also a Purple that is specified for security video use, but I usually use Reds for that application due to availability.

Great Storage unit

I bought this to use as a file server with a Raspberry Pi. I used two 4TB drives in independent mode initially and it worked a treat. So good in fact that I tried it in RAID 0 and RAID 1 modes and plugged it in to a Mac and Windows PC. Performed close to max speed of the USB 3.0 ports and is now back to two independents discs, one as a file server, the other video. In my case An inexpensive way to reuse old drives. Highly recommended!

Not worth it - useless.

Stopped working ('the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable') less than two months after installing. This kind of device should be of the 'set it up and forget it' kind. If you can't trust it to work properly, it is quite simply useless.

Great sized device with speed

Easy to set up with the included clear and simple guide. Installed my one two drives for a RAID 1 and things were up and running without any issues. Speed is amazing even with this “only” being a Gen 1 device. Smaller than expected which is icing on the cake.
