THE RUNNER R2420-B3 

The runner R2420-B3 is made almost entirely by aluminum and measures 174mm in length, 105mm in width and 33.5mmm in height while weighing a total of 0.49kg.

Much like the ih2420-2s-s2 i tested not too long ago the R2420-B3 has two small 2.5" bay covers at the front.

The activity LEDs are placed behind the two holes found on the left side of each of the covers.

Both covers get released just by pressing them and then pulling them outwards as seen above.

RAIDON has placed their logo at the front top of the unit.

At the rear of the R2420-B3 we see the two RAID mode switches, power on/off LED, USB 3.0 host port, DC power plug and the on/off switch.

The device sits on top of 4 small rubber feet.

Now once you mount both drives into the device (you just need to push them inwards) in order to take them out you first need to extend the front cover all the way to the right and then push it all the way inwards until the drive jumps out.

As you can see initially i wanted to test the R2420-B3 with two Kingston HyperX drives but since the device uses a SATA II controller it made little sense to do so.

So in the end i stumbled on two HGST 7K750 2.5" HDDs i had stored (and almost forgotten) in a cabinet and decided to use those instead.
