Conclusion:
The I-Series is an excellent looking (even in orange!) and an excellent performing dual-drive JBOD enclosure. It's sleek and small footprint make it easy to accommodate on any desk and the one-touch backup ability takes the hassle out of manually backing up crucial files. The only downfall with this enclosure for me was the very loud and noticeable noise; both fan noise and the high-pitch whine I encountered that made the enclosure almost unusable unless I located it far away from me. If the enclosure will be tucked away out of sight or only used on occasion, then this would make a super dual-drive JBOD enclosure. However, if it's likely to be sitting beside you on your desk all the time while powered on, then you may find the noise a little too much to handle. I looked into this issue and a lot of users are spending a few extra dollars to obtain a better aftermarket fan which seems to fix all the noise problems.

Pros:
Great looking (even the orange bezel is eye catching!)
Good performance
Compact size
One-touch backup ability
JBOD spanning allows for large volume sizes (up to 2TB)

Cons:
Noisy (especially the high-pitch hum)
No form of vibration dampening inside for the hard drives
