Pros & Cons

Pros

The menu is easy to understand. The instructions are in korean, but the device is very east to figure out with them. It's a little funny until you get used to it, but it has saved countless hours and flash drives! This thing is amazing and straight fo...  Read More

Review is for the iodd iodd2531 - usb3. It comes with a black neoprene carry case wrapped in black fabric. It works great, and makes clean installs of operating systems. My only issue is that it doesn't use a standard micro-usb cable, but the data+pow...  Read More

The build quality is solid. The company seems legit.

It uses sataii internally which has a real-world max throughput of about 250mb/s. And realistically most i/os are random anyway. Is it faster than an optical drive? Much much faster.

The only downside to this enclosure is that it will bottleneck a fast ssd. The internal drive connector is a normal sata drive style connector. But this product works just fine with my 256gb samsung ssd for storage.



Cons

This iodd is far inferior to my old zalman from 2011. The device freezes when i try to get into the menu. The iso feature seems cool, but so far the drive is not responsive to toggling of any kind.

Quality


Product works amazingly and came with a nice pouch and usb cable


But this product works just fine with my ssd


Review is for the iodd iodd2531 usb3


As a bonus they threw in a nice samsung usb 3 cable that was much longer than the one you get with the zalman product

Price


Worth the price did what i needed it to do


However the virtual drive function of this enclosure is worth multiple times the price youll pay for it

Packaging/appearance


The hard drive from the ve200 worked right away in the iodd2531

Competitiveness


Installed a 240gb ssd and it works very well


A minature screw driver 1 inch long and four tiny screws are provided

Using a 256gb samsung ssd for storage

    I got this one because i liked the minimalist look as opposed to the big keypads on the 2541 and mini and i didn’t care about the hardware encryption in those models but with the very minimal ui on the 2531 oneline screen and a single updownin button it can be hard to remember how to do some of the actions “eject the virtual fixed hard disk and return to normal mode”

    And stumbled on something like this several years ago then after about a year or two later the mini usb broke and no one made these drives like that anymore for years


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I lost count of how many times my usb thumb drives got infected and overwritten even formatted and one with the usb killer code and eventually give up and format the machine and lose most or all of the clients data


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is not repairing this is called destroying and rebuilding and i hate to delete years of data on someones computer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to carry 2030 you never knew what version or what format would work with some computers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Time for a 40 minute round trip if you can find a fresh cd find a copy of the utility burn it without problems and then test it and then you wind up forgetting it in the cd drive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The good physical write blockers are not cheap and even then i dont think you have any ability to boot from or mount an iso image


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some things to keep in mind you can’t make a vhd write protected something i would like for macos install drives to prevent any changes
