Need dual-bay enclosure that can handle 4TB.

by nuentes Dec 28, 2009 6:57AM PST

I recently bought two 2TB internal hard drives (Hitachi Deskstar HD32000). Most dual-bay enclosures I see say they are compatible with up to 1TB, or 1.5TB.

I bought one (Hornettek X2-JBOD). After trying it out, I found on their website that I wont be able to install the disks using BIG mode (i.e. to have my PC see this as a 4TB drive, instead of as 2x2TB drives).

Does anybody know of a reasonably priced dual bay enclosure that I can use to make my PC see these drives as a 4TB drive??.

Oh, and my PC is running Windows 7.
