All the enclosures I've seen can only physically hold one hard drive. They default to looking for a master (master alone for WD). Powered and unpowered versions probably don't supply enough amperage for two. If enclosures for containing two such hard drives exist, don't understand why it would be a problem. -- Jonny |
