A-DATA Launches XPG Dual SSD 3.5” RAID Enclosure
A-DATA Technology Co., Ltd., a worldwide leader in high performance memory products, announced today that it is launching XPG Dual SSD 3.5" RAID Enclosure to expand its portfolio of SSD solutions.
The A-DATA XPG Dual SSD 3.5" RAID Enclosure is a complete RAID solution through the use of two 2.5" SATA SSDs and/or HDDs mounted on one standard 3.5" form factor drive cage. This multifunctional RAID enclosure can be used as two separate drives, as a redundant drive to protect against drive failure, combined to become one high-performance drive or combined to become one large drive. By utilizing the hardware DIP switch on the back of the unit or included software utility, all these different RAID configurations and more can be set in an instant. Connection via SATA or USB enables easy direct access.
Designed for both internal & external purposes, A-DATA XPG Dual SSD 3.5" RAID Enclosure is the best choice for storage expansion and backup solution.
Furthermore, A-DATA also offers a 2.5" to 3.5" hard drive enclosure (Dual SSD 3.5" Enclosure - without built-in RAID function) converting simultaneously two 2.5" SATAI/II SSD and/or HDD into a 3.5" one. Both products will be available by end of Q1 2009.

If this was seriously cool, they would have shown some performance figures. They didnt. Therefore it aint that great: probably a method to utilise "old" SSDs that are sitting on the shelves because no one will buy them anymore given the NEW performance parts recently released.
yes, this would allow RAID on RAID. Of course theres room for the performance to be shit, but with SSD's involved isnt there room for it to be absolutely epic? Yes, the max speed will be 300MB/s (SATA-II's speed limit) but having two SSD's means a solid 300MB/s with uber low access times. I'd take one of these and two 64GB SSD's anyday.
I can just see that not working quite as you expect.
