Review on πŸ’Ώ Hornettek HT-3402U3: Enterprise USB 3.0 JBOD SATA HDD Enclosure 4 Bays by Cre Soto

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap for some reason?

The device is just over 6 months old. Last week I noticed that one of the fans stopped working and now the drives are disabled/unavailable. I assume heat. The device is not the best design for heat dissipation. I'll probably end up making something that Hornetk internals can be plugged into. I thought I was saving money and now it could be a big headache. But when it worked, it worked fine to stream all my media using Plex media server on PC. The ripping speed was fine and I didn't have any playback issues on any of my devices. I think that in other reviews most of the issues are related to fans and cooling.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
