2 stars. *NO* I would buy again.

*Edited on February 5th and 7th, 2020 "I need to change my rating from 5 stars to only 2 stars. I won't buy it again and I don't think anyone else should either. "6. January 2020 - I received the device today. Installation was so easy, it has a smart design. I installed 4 x 10TB Seagate Iron Wolf hard drives, all of which were recognized immediately and worked perfectly. The USB 3.0 speed was pretty fast: 3 TB data transfer from one drive to another in the case in less than 8 hours, stableโ€ฆ

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.

Garbage. Do not buy and avoid all of this company's products.

I bought one of these a few years ago but wasn't aware that this terrible Hornettek product was available at Revain. , the SATA backplane fails resulting in the drives being unreadable or even visible as they are not connected/powered on. It also randomly drops connections to systems, as evidenced by other reviews here as well. I've never had speed issues, but that doesn't matter because based on what I mentioned, you won't be transferring any data at all. Literally the only part of it that Iโ€ฆ

Great when it works

I bought one of these for JBOD installation and esata/usb3 connection. It's light and compact, with a large fan. That's exactly what I wanted. I put a 4TB Seagate drive in - it just formatted it to 2TB (lazy) and it worked non-stop for a couple of days, streaming content through the media player. Very cool. Then it stopped. I do not know why. Sent it back and got a replacement quickly. Since there were only a few, I even ordered a second one. I don't know if it's a power issue or what, but this
