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.
Highlights
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
Did come with a namebrand cable though
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”

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
