Never buy EZQeust stuff. Never buy EZQuest stuff. As I tweeted earlier today, I shall hopefully remember that. This is one of two semi-functioning EZQuest Thunder Triple Interface POS boxes. And I don’t mean Point of Sale. One is supposed to put 2 hard drives in there and be able to run them in a RAID 0 configuration [my big mistake was mis-reading the description when i bought them - i thought they supported RAID 1 - RAID 0 offers no data protection and should not be considered RAID].

This photo shows the innards of the case with a replacement SATA cable since one of the ones that came with it was frayed at the end. The two units I purchased both seem to have faulty fans and both require the boxes to be turned on before plugging in a Firewire 800 [or 400 or USB2] cable into the device. One of them also seems to be more defective then the other.

And don’t get me started with their “support”. It doesn’t exist. Heck even their website’s support/downloads page is blank! Yeah, don’t buy EZQuest stuff. Don’t buy EZQuest stuff….
