SABRENTUSB 3.0 4-Bay 2.5” SATA SSD and HDD Docking Station with Cooling Fan, Tool-Free, Supports Up to 4X 16TB, 5Gbps Transfer, for SATA 2.5” SSD/HDD (Up to 12.5mm), USB 3.0 Compatible - (DS-4SSD)

Great little unit. Hold four SATA drives and ports through one USB 3.0 port. Works flawlessly. Well built, nice magnetic top. The cooling fan is helpful, and you can switch it on/off independently. I read complaints about fan noise -- I don't think its too bad at all. Just a slight white noise, almost like one of those white noise sleeping machines. About 55db. Makes me feel like a nap. Have dropped 5 different SATA HDs in there of different ages and sizes, current to 10+ years old, 240GB to 1 TB, all recognized and working flawlessly. Sometime a little tricky getting odd-thickness (too thick or thin) drives to seat, just be cognizant. Great value too. Clone drives, or group them to increase storage size. I'm storing old movie clips on them.

5 stars for arriving on time and undamaged. Have been tied up with work on house so haven't been able to install yet.

Good as advertised..

I purchased this product to expand storage and wanted to move data from one Ssd to another. This product allowed it to happen without an issue, of course using the proper software to do it. When the Ssd is slotted, I did a simple test by touching the Ssd which was warm and then activating the cooling fan. It significantly reduced to temp and was actually cool to the touch, with no changes in what I was doing on the computer. Only negative is the fan is loud and only having it for a few months, I can not speak on the durability of it.

I’ve used this for 2.5 years now. It’s gotten me through a heck of a lot of editing. I use SSDs for my cinema cameras and often use upwards of 150gb of data from 3 separate SSDs. That’s a lot of data, and it takes a while to process. Most of the time, this dock will stay connected long enough to render out a single episode, which takes anywhere from 4-6 hours on average. Push that any further, and you run into issues. Every time this thing disconnects for the second or two and then reconnects, I have to start the render over again. This can cost days. Additionally, if I’m doing anything else (gaming, watching YouTube, using any program) that second of disconnecting and reconnecting pulls up new file explorers and pulls you out of whatever game you were in. It gets frustrating enough that I leave it off most of the time. An easy fix because there’s a power button, but still frustrating that it’s required. The fan is loud for its size, but that’s not picking in my book. At the end of the day, if you need something basic that will probably get you through the day, this will do, but I’d suggest getting something higher quality. I’d never buy this again.

I received this device several days ago. It was shipped promptly and perfectly. Appearance of product to me was perfect. Size is such that it can be placed such that it does not use up valuable space on your desk. I wear hearing devices, and when turning the sound on the device up to max was not in the least bothersome. When the volumn was turned down fan sound faded in the background. Let that issue of noise be put away from your concerns. the fan DOES IT WORK I pluged in 3 SSD that were previously initialized, and I found the devices at once with file explorer, and when I applied a right click of the mouse to a device and all the details including drive letter came back . Read writing though no professional test were applied are acceptable and will help your work. I also installed a 2.5 mechanical drive, and that worked the same. I ran the device all day and the fan took care of all possible heat problems. When using the device the indication and operation of what disk is active are placed on blue leds in small bars. You can use the button to turn down drives, or select them, but you must visually the drive by noting top bar is the left most drive, etc. when selecting them I probably have a 1tb solid state drive installed. Sabrent isan excellent source of devices to manage disk, and that company in all respects does not deserve anything much less that 5 stars. Just put out of your minds will this device work questions. I will be able to use it in my work when I want, believe me I work with disk management every move I make. By the way get a copy of Disk Management Made Easy used only to determine if this device works. I don't care for carping critics, as long as I don't have to wait for write or read so long as no cobwebs grow from my head to my shoulder - I like this device, and it WORKS, IS MY NONE PROFFESSIONAL OPINION, I JUST LOVE WINDOWS 10 AND THIS DEVICE, AS A ELDERLY RETIRED PERSON FROM A INFRARED SOFTWARE BUSINESS YEARS AGO SO GUYS THIS THINGS WORKS. THANK YOU SABRENT FOR ANOTHER GOOD DEVICE. JUST ACCEPT MY OPINION IT WORKS ENOUGH TO GET MY WORK DONE. WIHOUT BEING HYPER CRITICAL JUST NOTE IT WORKS FOR ME. If the fan does bother you just turn it off and lay your drives all over your valuable space, but do use a Sabrent Sata drive connector if you just have to it is your lack of space problem.
