Frequently Asked Questions - IB-RD3620SU3 Icy Box
How to set up RAID 1 (mirror) on the IB-RD3620SU3?
To set up RAID 1, install two identical hard drives into the bays, then slide the RAID mode switch on the back to the 'RAID 1' position before powering on. The enclosure will automatically configure the mirror. Data on both drives will be identical for redundancy.
What hard drives are compatible with this enclosure?
The IB-RD3620SU3 supports 3.5-inch SATA hard drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD). Both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives can be used with an adapter bracket. Drive capacity up to 18 TB per bay is supported.
How do I connect the enclosure to my computer?
Connect the included USB 3.0 cable to the rear port of the enclosure and to a USB port on your computer. Alternatively, use the eSATA cable if your computer has an eSATA port. No driver installation is required for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Can I replace a drive without powering off the enclosure?
The IB-RD3620SU3 supports hot-swap for drive replacement in JBOD mode. In RAID 0 or RAID 1, hot-swap is not recommended. For RAID 1, you can replace a failed drive while the system is running, but it must be done carefully to avoid data loss.
What do the LED indicators mean?
The front panel has three LEDs: Power (blue), HDD Access (flashing blue), and RAID Status (blue = healthy, red = degraded/failure). A fourth LED indicates fan status (blue = normal, red = fan failure).
Is this enclosure compatible with SSDs?
Yes, it supports 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SATA SSDs. Note that SSDs may require a 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch adapter bracket (not included) for proper mounting.
Can I use drives of different sizes in RAID 1?
It is not recommended. For RAID 1, both drives should be identical in capacity and model to ensure proper mirroring and performance. Different sizes will result in the smaller drive's capacity being used.
How to reset the enclosure to factory defaults?
To reset, power off the enclosure, set the RAID mode switch to the desired position, then power on while holding the reset button (located near the switch) for 10 seconds. Release and wait for the unit to reboot.
Does the IB-RD3620SU3 support UASP?
Yes, the USB 3.0 interface supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for improved data transfer speeds, especially with SSDs. Ensure your computer's USB controller and drivers also support UASP.
What is the power consumption in typical usage?
Typical power consumption is about 12-15 watts with two hard drives spinning, and around 6-8 watts in idle mode. The external power adapter is rated for 12V/3A (36W max).
