Iodd seems to be adept at making clones of other company's products (see Zalman). This one may be a clone also, though it's hard to know. The ST300 drive enclosure is something of a unique product....

Thanks to Microsoft's relentless drive to enshittify Windows we've all been playing 'cat and mouse' with their need to force logins to Microsoft accounts when Windows first boots. Microsoft's push to...
