Review on Tripp Lite U357-025-UASP USB 3.0 Super Speed External 2.5in SATA Hard Drive Enclosure - Black by Oscar Chambers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost perfect and supports 6TB drives

The good news is that I bought two of these together with 4 x 6TB drives and they are very easy and quick to install, set up and format were. So you can consider 6TB drives as supported. The DIP switch configuration actually works, unlike many similar devices where disk management software ignores it. The trays secure the drives without screws, which also contributes to a quick and easy installation. Windows recognizes the combo device when you plug it in, unlike some devices that require you to format the drives first and then add them to the array. The reason I can't give five stars is because the devices don't seem to have configurable power. funding policy. So if you haven't accessed the hard drives for some time, they will stop automatically to save power and cool. If I wanted to, I would buy Green HD, not Red HD. This isn't a big problem, but it does mean that you often get a 1-3 second delay the first time you access a directory that isn't in the cache, or when you try to write something. I haven't had a break from work because of it, but it's annoying.

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Makes me angry
