The inXtron Orbit is the latest USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure that can hold a couple of 2.5-inch hard drives. These hard drives can be configured to run in RAID configurations 0 and 1 as well as JBOD (Just A Bunch Of Disks). You can enjoy the super fast USB 3.0 transfer rate in RAID 0 configuration. The RAID 1 mirroring is perfect if you want to use this to handle drive failures for critical data, but it sacrifices speed for security. Too bad, there is no word on pricing or availability at this time. [Blogowogo]

Here is the world’s first external hard drive enclosure that adopts an embedded hard drive suspension system and Active Smart Cooling System. Dubbed as the Thermaltake Vi-ON, it uses a temperature sensing fan to detect the hard drive temperature while changing its speed in real-time for optimal efficiency and silence. Its hard drive suspension system will minimize vibration generated by hard drives at their maximum rotation speed to minimize the noise. Unfortunately, the Thermaltake Vi-ON comes only in a glossy black finish. Each purchase comes with a USB 2.0 Cable, eSATA Cable, Power Adapter and Dust Cloth. [Thermaltake]
