SABRENT USB Type-C naar dubbel 3,5 inch SATA en Raid Docking Station met CFast/SD-kaartlezers en USB Type-A poort (DS-2BCR)

الجهاز ممتاز و السرعة جنونية !لكن وصلت عندي درجة حرارة الدسك الى 51 مئوية فالمروحة كانها موموجودة و هذا خطر على الدسكات !The device is fantastic !!!!!But the disk temp. reached 51C !!!! So the fan is really upsent !!!!!

As a laptop user, I often used external hardrives to add additional storage. Yet after breaking two within a relatively close amount of time of each other, it was time I changed it up a little bit. My issue was that my external hardrives were not suited to how I worked, and considering I wasn't always in a position to use a desk as my workspace, they often got torn out, dropped and thrown about.My plan then, was to find an alternative to my storage solution, one that wouldn't break so easily. That's when I perked some interest in hardrive docking stations, with this one in particular peaking my interest.A solid metal built contraption, this docking station by Sabrent, is all I could ask for, and then some. I went with the 4-bay option, as that's what I required, and it works exactly as intended. Hardrive installation was simple, and the durable build quality gave me assurance that my hardrives would be safe.Each bay is individually operated by its own power switch, meaning you can turn the drives on individually as and when you need them. Being that the bays are separate, means you can have multiple drives that appear as different storage devices on your computer. Just make sure to Install and Format your drives in Disk Management, otherwise they won't appear in the File Explorer.The unit itself comes with a rear fan that blows continuous cool air into the drives while at least one of them is on, but stays silent while all of them are off, even if the unit itself is on. It also works well with sleep mode as tested with my laptop.In all, while I may have lost portability, since even without hardrives the Docking Station is quite heavy, I have gained better data protection against physical breakages, which was the goal I set out to achieve. At the end of the day, if you have the budget, and need a safe way to store data, a docking station like this isn't a bad way to go.P.S. I use Seagate's 4TB Barracuda 3.5" Hardrives in my Docking Station, and they work perfectly after installation and formatting.

I'll start with the one small negative. The included cable. It's basically useless and it was never going to be long enough. So be prepared to add an extra $20-$40 AUS for cable of useful length.Apart from the cable this is the best docking tool I have used. I've owned two thers in the past. I specifically purchased this one because I could turn off drives that I don't need to access. It brilliantly made, fairly quiet and does the job I need it to do fabulously. I would highly recommend this device if you're managing multiple external drives.

Amazing enclosure

So, it did what it said on the tin. Has been a useful external drive for me for 2+ years. Now for the niggles. VERY loud fan, and now that it's in my study I wanted to install a quieter fan. The dismantelling of the unit invokeved ripping the feet off of it to get to obscured feet, and then having thermal putty squished around as I dissassembelled it. The 92mm exhaust fan has a 3-pin header, and no-one seems to sell thermaly controlled fans anymore :-(. Not sure where I'll go from here...
