Faster than expected
I think this is a great product. It seems very well constructed and includes everything you can think of.I am replacing my tower desktop that has multiple SATA hard drives, and purchased this device to attached similar drives (2TB and 8TB) via USB 3.2 instead of SATA. I was concerned about the speed of the device, but I did some benchmarking and the USB connected drives on the Canmate and MiniPC actually operated maybe 5 to 10% better than the similar SATA-mounted drives on the old desktop. The new MiniPC has a faster CPU, not sure how that affects disk benchmarking performance.So, being concerned about performance bottleneck on USB to the drives, is a non-issue. I also tested an SSD drive in the device, and all the scores were noticeably better than the HDD, except for the sequential writes actually dropped about 5%. I am using one drive for backups, so I think sequential right speeds are important, but the other is for scratch data where I think random read/writes are more likely. In otherwords, changing one drive to an SSD will most likely, but not always, offer me better performance.If I had to make one complaint, the fan can get a little loud. While initially setting it up, I had the fan facing me, and it was noticeably loud. Turning the device around to it’s normal position helps, and being in an office environment helps drown it out. I suppose if I really wanted to I could upgrade the fan myself to a silent drive, but I don’t want to void the warranty.Over all, I am pleased with the cost, construction, performance and operation of the device. It seems like a simple device, so I’m hoping that it will be lasting several years.

Exactly what I was looking for and so easy to use!
This is a DAS (Direct Attached Storage) device which means you can plug it directly into a desktop or laptop and the computer will see each hard drive in this just like it would if you had installed it into the computer. Because this uses the fastest USB version (at the time I purchased anyway) the transfer rates are even faster than what my old computer was via internal SATA connections. Either way I’m using mine on a laptop with 4 drives for a Plex server and its working excellent and can load and play 4K files from the 7200 RPM drives I have it in which my other computer wasn’t capable of doing and only worked correctly on SSD drives. The huge storage capability of this made it a no brainer for my plex server and because there are no screws required for the drives to be installed that was super easy.I was a bit concerned about the noise level that people had mentioned in other reviews. In my case I put this in my office where it stays on 24/7 and its no different than having my other computer running fan noise wise. So you can hear it running but its nothing I would call loud. If you prefer silence though it might be best to put it in a room you aren’t in constantly or maybe in a further back area of the room not as close to you. But it is absolutely not loud, just a low fan noise and doesn’t bother me at all and I sit about 5 feet away.Setting this up was about as easy as it could possibly be. I just connected it to power and to the laptop with USB-C, popped my drives (WITH DATA on them still) out of my old computer and put them into this enclosure with no tools required, slid the sleds back in one at a time and they started showing up on the computer within seconds. IF you buy a brand new drive do the same thing but then go to Disk Management and initialize the drive and assign drive letter/etc. and you’ll be good to go in no time!

Great backup storage device
Great backup storage, for those with extra drives setting around. I love the easily removable bays, and how easy it is to add the drives. For full size drives, there is side rails that pressure fit into the side screw holes of the drives, taking just seconds to attach. For 2.5 drives, the rail closest to the drive needs to be removed, which is easy to do, as it just snaps off the drive bay, and then you use the included screws to attach drive to bay.. which is quick and easy to do. The drive bays inset and engage smoothly. The power adapter and usb cable are included. And love that there is on/off switch on back of chassis. I added drives, went into the Manage Function in “This Computer” in Windows – initialized drives and added drive letters – and voila – drives present and available. Unit works great, and file transfer speeds are adequate. AS for FAN NOISE – I saw reviews that complained about this – HOWEVER – on my unit fan noise was negligible, with the fans in my desktop computer being louder. Maybe mine features an upgraded fan, so for me I am very satisfied. Would buy again (and I have ordered the Raid ready model), and would recommend this unit.

Gutes, einfach zu bedienendes System.Klappt super ohne Bedienungsanleitung 😉

Excelente producto, lo uso como se muestra en adjunto.
