Model: 2 Bay
I admittedly haven't had this DAS for long (at the time of writing this review), but I will keep this review in mind and edit it should any of the below change. I was running Ubuntu Server 24.04 with Frigate (Linux-based NVR software) at home, but as I added cameras over time, the old server was a little too weak. I moved the Ubuntu/Frigate install to a higher powered micro tower which solved the first set of problems, but of course I had no room for a 3.5" HDD for the video storage in the replacement system, which is where the Cenmate 2 bay unit comes into the picture. I have a single 6TB drive in it. It's USB'd right into my micro tower. Ubuntu mounts it via UUID on startup, and Frigate takes over recording footage to it without issue. So far, it's a very boring unit - which is exactly why I like it. I was concerned about throughput speeds, so for kicks I generated a bogus 10 GB file and transferred it from the onboard NVME SSD in the micro tower to the WD Purple within the Cenmate DAS. It sustained 170 MB/s transfer. According to random searches online, that WD Purple is expected to handle about 180-200 MB/s write speed, so seeing 170 MB/s sustained write made me pretty happy. I should note, I am not using the included USB cable. I read a few reviews that suggested the included USB cable is problematic for some folks, so I opted to use my own existing USB A/USB C cable from the get-go. Another concern I had was the behavior of the unit in the event that the power switch is left "on" but power is lost and then restored, as it's critical for my particular setup that the DAS simply always be on if power is available. I decided to test this right out of the gate, so once I unboxed the DAS, I put my HDD in it, flipped the power switch on, and then after that I plugged it into the wall outlet for the very first time. It lit up and I could feel the drive motor spinning up. I tested this in total 3-4 times, and each time it simply fired up the drive since the switch was set to "on" already. While this may seem like a "duh" thing, some different units I compared contained some reviews that suggested even if they had an explicit on/off toggle (like this Cenmate does), if power is lost, and then restored, some of these other units reportedly still required turning the switch off and then back on. This didn't seem to be the case with the Cenmate, which is great as this would have been an instant deal breaker where I would have returned it. In my setup, it's a requirement that if power is lost and then restored, that the DAS kick on automatically since the NVR micro tower is also simultaneously booting up which would be expecting the storage drive to be present to begin recording feeds. It was a relief to see that the Cenmate behaved as I hoped it would with auto-power-on after power is restored. I can't comment on using two drives in the unit as I haven't had a need to yet, but with a single drive it does the job well so far. It's simple, but I needed simple as well as predictability. Given I have an available bay open, it is tempting to pick up another matching HDD and doing some sort of Linux LVM group to span the two drives for more CCTV storage, but that's a project for another day. No issues with this relating to Linux. My Ubuntu Server install simply saw the drive when I ran "blkid", I added it as an automatic mount point, rebooted, and there it was - ready to be used. The jury is still out on long term reliability. For now, I rigged up a script on the Linux system using the Cenmate DAS along with my uptime monitor server which will check for the presence of the Cenmate/CCTV HDD every 5 minutes and email me if there's an issue. I'm hopeful this will reveal no surprises over time, but if it does, I'll update my review here. For now, it's serving my Linux/Frigate NVR micro tower just fine and ticks what few (but important) boxes I needed.

I’ve been using this hard drive bay with my home computer for a few months. It has worked flawlessly. The speed is sufficient for backing up to the Western Digital 8 TB drives I use. There is a constant low level of fan noise when located on my desktop. I expect the noise to not be noticeable once I move the bay to underneath the desk. I like the disk mounting trays as they are easy to use and don’t require tools. The trays are not very sturdy, but acceptable for home use. Connection to my Mac mini was simple without any issues.

This review is for the 2-Bay CENMATE Enclosure. So far works well enough. I just put it together an hour or so ago before writing this review. I will update the review eventually when I get proper mechanical HDDs in of higher capacities. I've placed a SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB 2.4 inch SATA SSD into the bottom caddy. There are two sets of screw bags, each have differently sized ridges in the screw portion under each screw head. The screws with smaller ridges are meant for screwing into the smaller 2.5 inch SATA SSD Drives. In order to mount the 2.5 inch drives, you must take off one of the blue "tool-less" holding mechanisms by prying it off at two points with a flat-head screw driver. In order to mount a 3.5 inch drive, you must bend back the blue "tool-less" holding mechanisms at the ends of the caddies. This clearly is meant for a person with three hands according to the picture in the manual, as it shows someone bending them back on both sides of the caddy while also putting in the hard drive at the same time (which is the intended way to do it.) I'd recommend bending back them a section at a time (EG: front first) then pushing in the drive forward. Or tilting it into the caddy sideways, bending back one side first, then the other. For people complaining that it disconnects. Please confirm the presence of the Red Light on each of the drive bays. This red light should be on at all times, indicating the drive is being connected to a device/system. If the red light goes out, the enclosure will eventually turn off the SATA controllers entirely to "save power." Once this happens, you must cycle the enclosure off then on again to make the drives appear again. This was my experience on Linux at least, since I don't use Windows. The drive bays and fan are powered regardless of which position the on/off switch is in, but it seems like the controller will only work properly while the power switch is in the on position. (The dash.) The enclosure's fan is pretty quiet as well, I've only noticed having sound when I tilt it to be on its ends to check the back connectors. Speaking of the back connectors. The USB-A port is the port you use to daisy chain to other enclosures, or to put a keyboard/mouse/etc. into. The USB-C port is what connects to the host system/computer.
