When the Icy Dock is configured, there is optional JMicron HW Raid Manager software that can be installed.
There really is no need to install this for generalised system duties, although you can use it to flash the firmware of the drive for future updates and bug fixes. You can delete the raid install from this software and configure other options if needed. There are some SMTP reporting options available in the software which may prove useful for an IT department/manager.

very ‘apple’ like in appearance aint it?
Nice idea. ive a few 2.5 inch drives in a drawer here, but they aren’t worth putting in this, one is an old 120gb 5,400 rpm thing and the other is even worse 🙂
Thats really clever. like the onboard raid controller. useful indeed
