I recently upgraded my Linux workstation to the latest Devuan. I have three large media drives (14TB) which I use for my home cinema (ripped dvd, bd etc via Kodi). The thing about those hard drives is, they are loud when running, and I am sensitive to hum, and the workstation is right next to me all day long. So I generally like to keep the drives asleep (spun down) using hdparm. That worked previously on Debian Stretch, but it no longer works on the latest stable, if I want to have utilities like k3b and rhythmbox then they also pull in udisks2, which wakes my internal hard drives up every few minutes. So aside from removing udisks2 and doing without k3b, the only way to fix this was to move the drives to an external enclosure. Most of the enclosures out there seem to either be really cheap and simple, and they literally toast your hard drive due to lack of adequate cooling; or else they are high-end NAS with their own Operating System and networking. Which you obviously pay for, and I really don't need all that. I just want an enclosure, connecting via USB 3, with good cooling. I tried a different brand unit initially by Orico, which worked fine but the drives ran very hot. So I sent that back and looked further, and found these ones by Sabrent. Encouragingly, when I searched for "cool" and "hot" in the reviews, most people seemed to say that it does have adequate cooling. And it also just "gets out of the way". Now I have used it for a couple of days, I can confirm this is probably the best drive enclosure I have ever used. It is made of metal, very solid, which is refreshing (the Orico, for example, had plastic trays). Insertion of the drives is simple, if you're careful (I read one review that talked about breaking the door latch mechanism because they pushed the drive in too much before closing the door, apparently you leave 1/4" and then let the door closing do the rest). I found that the doors have to be pressed a bit more to get that final "click", otherwise the latch is kind of loose. But once the click happens, just a little one, it's solid. I really like the power button for the individual drives. I agree with others that perhaps it would be better if the default upon powering up would be to power on all occupied bays, but this doesn't really affect me much. I usually keep the drives off anyway, except when in use. The power buttons allow me to power down the drives after I am done watching TV. I unmount all the drives (single script does that quickly) and then manually go through the buttons. You have to press for three seconds each one, but that is a minor hassle. My only minor niggle is that the power buttons are black on black, so it can be hard to find them in a dimly lit room. Basically this thing seems to work, and it's fast, relatively quiet (I am sensitive to noise, and I don't really hear the fan at all - much more noticeable is the hum from the drives themselves, which can't be helped). And it works with Linux. It just... works. Does what I want, nothing more, and looks good on the desk, and feels solid. Very happy! I hope they keep making this one and don't mess it up with some stupid redesign down the line, as many companies seem to do these days. I can't speak to any issues with using more than one drive at a time, as some others talk about. However for my use case, I am generally only using one at a time anyway. I also use one of the bays for a backup drive, but even then, it's the only one being used when I do that. So all seems well, very satisfied.

I am updating my review of this 5-bay enclosure a couple of months after buying it: So far my experience with this unit has been excellent. I was using a different "10G SuperSpeed+" enclosure and that had all kinds of problems. This Sabrent is a whole lot better, addressing the issues with the previous unit. Some things to list out that are good about this Sabrent / improvements over the unit it replaces: 1. Drives are very easy to add and remove. This is a true hot swap drive enclosure. 2. Spring loading mechanism to hold drives in place. Had drift issues in previous enclosure where drives would randomly drop out of the configuration. I have also have had buzzing issues with other enclosures, but not this one as the springs will hold it in the right position. 3. Reasonably quiet while at the same time keeping the drives a good temp. All of the 12 TB helium filled drives are sitting in the mid 30's C, which is a good place. The previous enclosure needed modification to have proper cooling of the drives. At this the previous enclosure was much louder while getting far less done with its fan. 4. Performance is good and more in line with what I expected with a 10G connection. I am using an active cable to get 10 ft (3m) of reach from the computer to enclosure while achieving this performance. I am doing a 4 drive array, so the aggregate performance gets noticed. I see up to 3 drives at full speed and then it caps off apparently, which is all I was really expecting to see. This is with no tuning I am seeing an aggregate read of ~600 MB/s and an aggregate write of ~512 MB/s. The previous enclosure was much slower, in some places less than 1/2 the aggregate performance and this is with just simply unplugging the old enclosure, moving the drives over to this Sabrent, and then plugging it in the same place with the same data cable. All that I changed between these two "10G" enclosures was the actual enclosure. 5. The previous enclosure was glitchy with reading the identification with the drives. This is bad, especially when you are running an array and the OS can't figure out which drives are supposed to be in the array. (Running ZFS RAIDZ as this is the best RAID you can do.) With this enclosure it just read and read correctly, so no issue. Managed to get ZFS to update the internal labels for the drive by having it rescan the /dev/disk/by-id directory and now things are happy and consistent. 6. While this enclosure is kind of big, which makes it harder to stuff in certain secure areas with limited space, it is very easy to add and remove bare drives, which when combined with protective cases and labels, makes it easy enough to use a secure storage location for backups. At this you only need one of these units as it is so easy to add and remove drives from the unit so you can leave it with the computer setup. Overall this is a quality unit with a quality build and quality performance. Much better than what I have seen from other outfits.
