  • Excellent hardware; firmware has room for improvement
Size: 10 BAY
This review is for the 10-bay DS-UCTB model. This is a well-built hard drive docking station. It is solid and weights 17 pounds empty. It is solid metal with two 120mm fans on the back, which when in operation, move enough air to keep a fully loaded unit cool, but yet are quiet enough to keep this unit close at hand without being audible. The drives are likely to make more noise than the fans. Additionally, a built in power supply means all you need is an IEC power cable ("computer style") and no external power supply brick. The drive cages are tool-less, which means you can just insert your 3.5" drives and close the doors. If you want to use 2.5" drives you'll need adapter brackets. "Locks" use a triangular key, and are not meant to prevent theft, but merely to prevent accidental opening of a drive bay, which could be easy to do when opening an adjacent bay. I keep all of my bays locked, and only unlock the one I intend to open, this preventing an accidental drive removal. A physical power switch on the back lets you ensure the device is completely off, even which the power cable is connected. I feel there is room for improvement with the firmware/operation of this unit. My biggest issue is that when you turn on the power switch, or if it is on and power is lost and then restored, the 10 drive bays are "off" by default. You must physically press the button for each bay to get them to wake up. For a desktop environment where you are using this for hot-swap drives at your workstation, this may not be a big issue. However, I am using my enclosure as a RAID array and if it is in a remote location and power is lost, even though I can have the controlling computer automatically boot back up, I have to physically touch the enclosure and press all 10 buttons to get the drives back online. I would like the option to be able to select to have the bays be "awake" or "off" when power is applied, or have it remember the last state of each bay when power is applied. Or at least be able to flash different firmware depending upon the behavior that I desire. A more minor issue is the activity lights of each drive. There are blue lights than show when each drive bay is on, and they flash purple then the specific drive is active. However, the flashing is not exactly representative of the drive activity as many other drive enclosures tend to be - they are just a steady rate of flashing when the drive is active and then they stop flashing when the drive is not being accessed. This does allow you to see which drives are being accessed, but does not give a true representation of the level of activity of the drive. Finally, I will note that my use case for this enclosure is to hold 10 drives that are using in a Linux MDADM RAID 6 array. I could have put then 10 drives inside the computer case and connected them via SATA cables and probably have had a bit better performance, but I found that jamming 10 drives with SATA and power cables inside a case proved to be unreliable so I decided to sacrifice a bit of performance for reliability. Additionally, if I ever need to swap out a failed drive, having them in an external enclosure will make it a bit easier to do so. Unfortunately, having the default power state of the drive bays "off" makes this enclosure a bit less ideal for my use case, but at this time I cannot find any other alternatives. I applaud the ability of this case to keep 10 operating drives cool, and to be able to enclose them in a minimally sized footprint with a minimum of fuss. For the technically minded, the controller chip being used identifies as "ID 174c:55aa ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1051E SATA 6Gb/s bridge, ASM1053E SATA 6Gb/s bridge, ASM1153 SATA 3Gb/s bridge, ASM1153E SATA 6Gb/s bridge" I am using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS; I needed to disable uas for 174c:55aa to get proper performance out of this enclosure. It's fairly easy to do, it just needs to be done. PROS: Holds 10 3.5" drives in an external USB enclosure Minimum footprint Internal power supply, has a standard IEC power socket USB C 3.2 gen 2 (10 Gbs) connector Solid build - metal frame is 17 pounds EMPTY Two 120mm fans on back to keep the unit cool, and they are quiet (but no variable speed) Easy to open drive bay doors allow for easy insertion of 3.5" drives Lock for each bay allows to protect against accidental opening of the wrong bay door Can hot swap a drive while other drives are in use Individual on/off buttons for each bay Status lights for each bay CONS: Power on state for each bay is off. No way to have drives power on when power is restored automatically Status lights flash with drive activity, but not a true representation of activity level - just indicates activity Limited to 10Gbs speed - Not USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or Thunderbolt; this is OK for a few drives but not simultaneous access of all 10 drives at once You may need to disable uas in your OS to get proper performance from this enclosure Conclusion: A 10 bay enclosure is probably overkill for desktop use; the 4 or 5 bay versions are probably more suitable for that application, and with these specs, are perfect for that use. However, the 10 bay version which is more likely to be used as a RAID or in a server environment, lacks a key feature that makes it perfectly suitable for that application (lack of automatic power on of drives). Yet, there are really no competitive products in this class at this price point. ... show more

  • This does exactly what I wanted - simple, drives stay cool, easy power down option
Size: 5 BAY
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. 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. ... show more
