Review: Works fine.
Review: Update 16 months later: Fan noise. Yeah, it can become an issue. And honestly, while I put up with it for a few weeks, I finally decided to the good old "impact maintenance" on it. Gave it a few light smacks and the fan noise was greatly reduced. Is this the best way to fix things. No. But sometimes it works. Without opening up the unit to look, my guess is that the fan can sometimes get off balance and it's rubbing against something. I am considering moving it to another part of the house that has a door to block the noise if the fan acts up again. Do this at your own risk if you choose to do it. A hard enough smack on the case while a drive is being accessed, especially being written, may damage the drive. In the case of doing it while the computer is booting up, you're getting read access so, in theory, there won't be any damage or data loss. But I'm not an expert and don't blame me if you lose your data. With that said, man is it so much quieter now. Back to what it used to be. Just a quiet woosh in the background. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Needed an enclosure for 2 drives for a JBOD. One drive is for file storage while the other is for Time Machine. Got 1 Seagate Exos x12 12TB for file storage and 1 Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB for TM. Both drives renewed. I've been very pleased with this setup. While I give the box 5 stars, if I was going to make any kind of deduction is that the drives can go offline if the unit gets bumped. It's not like I'm intentionally hitting it, but a few times there's been an accidental hit and the drives go offline. As far as noise, when the drives are idle, it's pretty quiet. You can barely hear the fan and you'll hear the occasional drive click, but that's normal for an HDD. There are other things in the room that make more noise. When you access it, yeah, it can be pretty loud. Especially if both drives are being accessed at the same time. Slightly louder than a normal external drive. But it doesn't bother me. It's almost soothing in a way to hear that sound. If and when I need more bays, I wouldn't hesitate to get another unit.
