Review on 📦 Mediasonic Raid USB C 3.1 4 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure: Power Delivery, 4K HDMI, USB Hub & SDXC Reader – All-in-One USB Type C USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps (HFR7-SU31CD) by Douglas Coronado

I've recently switched to using a laptop (M1 Macbook Pro) as my main editing computer, rather than a desktop, so I needed something that would accommodate multiple hard drives and can deploy card reader. I like that one cable from this box provides power, connection for an external monitor, card reader, 4 external drives, one of which is a Time Machine backup, and additional USB ports. This works fine so far, but when I turn off my laptop, the box's fan turns off and the drives heat up to the point where you feel the box is warm to the touch. I don't know why disks that are not in use do this. To make this box perfect, Mediasonic needs to run the fan all the time or make sure the drives are completely off. I turned off the main switch while doing this, but every now and then I forget and fall back to warm drives that haven't been used in hours or haven't been connected to my laptop at all.
