Review: Perfect External Solution to once Internal 3.5" High-Capacity Performance Hard-Drives - [Overall:] If you are looking to get mechanical drives out of your system but want still use them due to their high-capacity and/or performance (in the case of my WD Black drives), this was the best quality solution. As I stated in my original review in 2020, if anything changes with my experience with this, I'll be sure to update (as long as I'm still alive for it). My experience didn't change 5 years later, my love for the drive just increased. I honestly do not expect any issues going into Year 6 (2026). [Initial/Updated Thoughts after 5 full years:] I bought the Sabrent USB 3.2 5-Bay in Jan 2020 and all bays have been in DAILY use for a full 5 years (Dec 2025). Surprised the enclousure or the drives haven't failed (especially the drives, they are well past their intended lifespan--still...don't forget to backup your drives). I dislike that all the reviews for each bay type is consolidated into one listing, but that's an desertcart problem. When I bought this in 2020, the packaging for the 5-bay stated USB 3.1 GEN 2 but the listing was for USB 3.2, which was confusing because of the USB naming schema provided by the "USB Implementers Forum". At the time, USB 3.1 GEN 2 was renamed to USB 3.2, and provided 10Gbps (which USB 3.2 [GEN 2] is and such was the case under the former name [USB 3.1 GEN 2]). Most SATA III cables are 6 Gbps, so this item was perfect for what I intended to do. Not sure what the packaging says 5 full years later, but I didn't have any major issues to warrant buying a new one (although I did think about the 10-bay several times). [Usage:] In 2020, I upgraded my PC with. I did not want to cable manage SATA cables in a smaller case and didn't want to move/copy everything to the smaller capacity NVME or SSD drives offered at the time. On the PC before it, I had many media files, documents, and games on multiple WD Black HDDs. I wanted a bay that can give me the same performance of having a SATA cable--and 5 years later, it still does so. While I don't play games off it anymore, technology as evolved, it does still store a backlog of games, media, documents, backups, etc. For 5 years, I was able to use the drives exactly how I wanted to and am getting the same performance as SATA III (especially without the internal wiring). I can seamlessly use the drives between PCs with the caveat of making sure the drive lettering is set up consistently with each machine (i.e. to avoid having to reinstall games, rewrite any hard-coding, file path shortcuts, etc.). [Quality:] This 5-bay has solid construction and is very well designed. Cool to the touch and manages power based on drive usage--but is always in the ready. The locks for each bay and the clear labeling was a very easy plug-and-play situation. While it does accumulate dust within the enclosure, a quick blow of an air compressor gets it back into looking "new". After 5 years, the only issue I had with the enclosure was that the board/circuit of the unit started making an indiscernible noise. It's not the fans or the drives, but something else. I honestly could not pinpoint it, but there hasn't been any performance issues at all. It just works. [Additional Thoughts:] 1. If you have more than 5 3.5" HDDs to use but don't want buy more bays? You can hot-swap. 2. The provided USB cables (USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C) did it's job, but were too short and thus I needed longer cables. Finding USB 3.2 cables for 10 Gbps for over 3ft wasn't the smoothest shopping experience because longer lengths have a bit uncertainty (due to how they are listed), but they are there and have worked to expectations. 3. Pretty much your own external drive solution...just have to have your own drives. :)
Review: 5-Disk Version - Built like a tank, works like a champ! - This is absolutely one of the best tech purchases I've made: I can't recommend it highly enough. I purchased this because I needed an easy-to-use external storage device capable of handling both 3.5" spinning platter HDDs and 2.5" SSD drives. The 2.5" drives need a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, which can be had for $7 to $20-ish depending on the materials used. I'm a hobbyist photographer and I wanted an easy way to share digital images between macOS and Win10 computers. This completely fits the bill. Here's what I love about this device: - It is absolutely built like a tank - all metal, heavy, great construction - small footprint - it's roughly the size of a small toaster - no crazy or irritating drive brackets needed - you just pop open the drawer, slide the drive in, and close the door - viola! All set to use - individual power buttons! This is huge. I can load up the device with five separate drives, and select which ones I want to be active - under macOS or Windows 10, the drives are automatically detected when powered up, and it's easy to eject / unmount them when done and shut power off to the drive - the USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection provides full drive speed for HDD and SATA3 SSD drives - access is just as fast as connecting the drives directly to the SATA connectors on the motherboard - the unit also provides a USB-C connector on the back of the unit, so it's possible to attach a second device if needed All in all, I'd recommend this external enclosure without hesitation. Granted, It's a bit on the pricey side and the small, single drive external USB enclosures are much less expensive. Also, given the size and weight, it's definitely designed to be a desktop unit - you're not going to throw this in your laptop bag or take it on a flight with you. There are much better options if that's what your need is. Keep in mind that this the connection speed for USB 3.2 Gen 2 is a maximum of 10 Gbps, or 1250 MB/s, which is absolutely more than enough for SATA3 drives. This speed is ample for digital photography needs. I've used the lastest versions of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, ON1 Photo Raw, and the DxO NiK Collection apps without hiccup. If you're a videographer, however, this likely will not give you the speed you'll need, particularly if you're shooting in large format (e.g., 4K or greater) and/or RAW formats. In this case, a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 type drive would be a far better choice. If you're on the macOS platform, your iMac or Macbook should support these connections if you're using anything reasonably current. If you're on the PC platorm under Windows 10 or 11 and a PC builder, then your choices are a bit more constrained - Asrock has licensed Thunderbolt from Intel and several of their motherboards support TB 3 or TB 4. Alternatively, some Gigabyte MB's have a TB 3 header, which can connect to their PCIe expansion card ($89 as of the time of this review). A quick search on the internet should give you an idea of what your options are. BTW, this drive enclosure does NOT support hardware RAID. If that's what you need, you'll have to look elsewhere. Under both macOS and Windows 10, there are software RAID-ish options available - I haven't had the need or desire to attempt these, but in theory, they are possible. Good luck and hope this helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent enclosure if you don't need RAID
*by A***R on January 15, 2020*

This is for the 5-bay usb-c version. start with the bad, hence 4 star: 1. it drops connection sometimes when use usb-A to usb-c cable connecting to usb-A 3.0 port on a thinkpad T470. it happens when creating soft-raid and writting to 4 HDDs at the same time. I had to use usb-c to usb-c cable, which runs robustly. 2. sometimes, it will slow down for a while before picking up to full speed now the positive sides, which are quite many 1. when using usb-c to usb-c connection with thinkpad T470, it has been rock solid. I have been running windows storage space in 4 disk parity on it and wrote > 1TB to it, and never had once disconnection 2. HDD install is extremely easy and the door mechanism is strong so that I don't worry HDD falls out if move around. 3. the back circuit board does not block airflow, large opening between HDD and fan. sustained writing at full speed to 4 HDD for half hour, HDD still ~35C. 4. fan is very quiet. similar to one in my synology NAS 5. individual HDD has its own power button, you can shot-swap without worrying short-circuit anything. but it does create initial confusion as I was wondering why nothing happened after I pushed the main switch on the back 6. HDD and fan power down when HDDs are inactive and with computer power down. naturally, it resumes also with computer power-on 7. throughput has been great. can sustain writting to 4 HDD at 150MB/sec 8. usb-c hub allows expansion in future, although I have not tested it yet. 9. the led lights are quite small and do not feel disturbed by it I have looked through, twice, every single 4/5 bay usb-c enclosure; I do feel this is the best one, not one of, if you don't need hardware RAID. update after a week. moved 10TB of data both to it and from it. all done with storage space in parity, meaning 4 HDD writing/reading at the same time. rock solid. did not disconnect or slow down even once. excellent. update after 6 months. 24x7 for the last 6 months. Absolutely no problem. no single disconnect. still quiet as day-one. no complaints.
