Review on Yottamaster 4 Bay Hard Drive Enclosure: High-Capacity Aluminum Alloy Storage for PC DIY Experts & Gamers [DF4U3] by John Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well built and easy to use. Attractive too.

This case is for you. The main things I'm looking for are: Hardware RAID - No explanation needed. Clean, Attractive Design - This is one of the few cases that looks good enough to be used outdoors, IMO. Solid build quality - Nice thick aluminum body and finish. Auto sleep feature - this never worked in my previous case so that's great. Good ventilation - it's a bit noisier than what I replaced, but at higher rpm there's better cooling. Stable connectivity and performance - no explanation needed. However, I would like some improvements in some areas. Fan speed control would be good for noise reduction, as would an on/off switch. Some polishing on the edges of the handle as they are awkward to grip. Switch to turn on/off the fan LED. Personally, I like the lights as I know when the body is active, but I'm sure many people would like to turn them off. Upgrade to USB 3.1 instead of USB 3.0. Everything has to be USB-C these days.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • unreliable
