Good HD case - computer and accessories

I use it for JBOD case, it works fine. I only gave 4 stars because of the noisy fan, but I'll deal with that for now. Easy connection to a computer, all hard drives are recognized without problems. All 5 disks (4TB, 3TB and 3 of 2TB) already had data and there were no problems with the computer recognizing them.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • I'll write later

Nosiy Nosiy Nosiy - Hard Drive Enclosure

The device vibrates and rattles when the hard drives rotate. Corrupts sound or video while using the computer. This is really annoying and frustrating. I waited too long to connect the device so I couldn't return it. In addition to the physical one, the USB 3.0/3.1 interface also didn't work. It is very difficult to navigate the webpage to get customer support, so this issue is still unsolved. This is perhaps the worst first impression I've had of a device in my 30+ years. The rattling is…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Communication with the seller

Exactly what was expected

Arrived in a day, easy to use, just plug the drives into the outlet, plug in the power and connect to the computer. I replaced the included USB 3.0 to USB-C cable with the USB-C to USB-C cable and so far it's working great. A lot of comments mentioned it gets hot and the fan spins loud so I docked the star but I can do like the others and work without the cover or I can change the cover later to close for extra airflow worries. I'll get back to you if I have any further problems.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Cooling - Selective Switching - Technical Support - Updates

Works well but the hard drives in the case get very hot. If you remove the cover/top and feel that the top of the drives is quite warm, I figured they should/would run a lot cooler - if they run cooler won't they last longer? In my desktop single HD case, the single HD runs cooler (it doesn't have a fan). This means that airflow over the hard drives is forced past the small holes at the top of the drives and out the bottom (heat rises, of course). The device is only 1/4 inch from the surface. I

Pros
  • Integrated Dual Ball Bearing Fan - Built-in 120mm dual ball bearing fan for high speed performance and long lifespan. Large honeycomb holes on the back promote heat dissipation.
Cons
  • Very expensive

Might work for some but worked for me with two drives

First, the unit I received didn't have a noisy fan, it was surprisingly quiet, my laptop's fan is louder. Second, I was surprised that there weren't any slots in the drive bays to guide or hold them in place. The drive simply sits upright in its slot. My large 10TB drive tilts and seems to rattle when the drive is moved. The second drive is a tiny 2.5" SATA SSD. You just have to put it in, but it fits and because the disc was so light, it held up well. However, once I set it up and started…

Pros
  • Large capacity up to 80TB - The USB hard drive enclosure can support all 3.5" SATA hard drives and up to 80TB for each single 16TB drive, handy for backing up corporate data. and exchange, also a good tool to expand NAS.
Cons
  • unreliable

Nice drive bay but there are some issues.

I like the top loading feature of this drive bay and its basic square design. Invisible in the work area. Although I would like the top part to fix and hold the slices well. It can't be moved too much and never tilted to one side, especially when there are live discs inside. The SATA connectors appear to be too close to the inner wall of the bay and some of them were actually misaligned on the device I received. I took a screwdriver to put them in place. But they stayed as fast as I did. You…
