SABRENT Hard Drive Docking Station, 4 Bay SSD Dock, SATA Multiport Hard Drive Enclosure, Offline Cloning, Cooling Fan, 2.5” Universal Compatibility (DS-4SSD)

This is excellent and so easy to set up. I am using it on my MacBook Pro and turn the unit on as and when i need the 4 drives.

Use this to copy my OS to another M.2 storage from my pc to the new M.2 storage, works as it should. The quality seems a little cheap though, with a cheap plastic look and feel,which for the price seems a little bit much.

Once I put a UK plug adapter on the power wire all ran well. Nice and compact, nice design. Shame there’s no UL adapter in box but no biggie, those are dirt cheap off eBay :) Update 1 month in: After very occasional use since purchase the units fan is now making a very loud whirring noise to the point I've had to use it without the fan (which is a big reason I bought it in the first place). Update: the whirring noise lasted a few day but since then no odd noise at all. This is a highly convenient way of dealing with raw 2.5” drives and also transporting them if need be. If you rescue some drive from old laptops you’ll have yourself a very And fast cheap backup solution or storage. Reminds me of switching isolinear chips on the Enterprise, but I’m geeky like that.

I purchased the single dock/drive version of this modes which is the DC-UC1B. The unit comes with a powr cable and two USB cables so the unit can be connected to a computer using a USB C or A port. Once powered up and connected I dropped in an old HDD and te unit recognised it and I was able to browse the files without any issues. Overall the dock feels much lighter than I expected but this is not a problem in operation although I can imagine that the multi dock versions might feel a little top heavy. All in all this meets my needs and I amhappy to recommend.

Its is piece of kit and does what it says on the tin. Its system name of 'final lap to go ' is a bit off putting and they informed me it may not change. Had problems in windows 10 off a USB 3 hub with drive errors , there are no specific drivers other than those windows uses. Cured the problem by plugging directly into USB 3 port and all appears ok now and working well. My drives are a mixed bunch of ssd and 1 hdd but all appear ok. Fan is noisy but someone has a fix for it on the web, simple job shame the company do not do it. Warning : have now had this product 15 months and am getting consistent controller errors on all drives, have contacted Sabrent direct who were very helpful at first but once they found an out of their warranty, english/european Warranty law does not count according to them. Make sure you register your product within 90 days or else no warranty. You have been warned. Will now look for an alternative to this.

It’s so easy to use. I literally installed 1 drive. It showed up. I installed second drive it showed up as a different drive. 3 and 4 the same. Works with the Mac and tested it on friend’s windows machine. IT DID’NT LET US DOWN. Transferred easily with Apple Music and Apple TV. Installed new movies overnight. (68 movies and internet speed dependent) So shows all 4 drives individually across the network ( set up but by the connection to the Mac) Accessed easily across the network, no glitches so far. I like it because it’s 1 unit, 1 connection, no trailing wires. No confusion, the fan can be switched on/ off manually. The only issue with this unit is it will hot swap it’s self with no problems . But Mac ‘s don’t like this. And throws a fit. It’s best to eject the drive on the Mac Then swap it. Mac will detect the new drive. Windows machine didn’t have this problem. But to be honest I’ve had this problem with Mac’s and other drives. If your a Mac user you’ll already know this. I’d recommend this unit and it’s brilliant for media content.

Really good, pretty quick transfer, hot swop without interruption to the secondary drive. SABRENT stuff is always good!

Updated - after leaving the review below, I have now upgraded to a new Mac. Happy to say there are no connection issues whatsoever anymore so my previous issues were down to my old Mac, not these enclosures which are very stable and reliable. They have also just released a new version which adds a 5th drive bay and a decent set of RAID options. The new version is approx twice the price but still represents excellent value for money. Aside from my connection issues which I now know were the fault of my old Mac, I stand by the rest of the review below… I’ve been using these for many years, in fact, I run four of them, fully loaded with SSDs (I’m a composer so am using lots of huge sample libraries). There is very little else in the market which approaches the convenience of these at a comparable price point. When they work, they work fine and you can easily just forget about them. However, I have a lot of trouble getting all four units to connect and mount reliably. In fact, I now have to power them on in a certain order, after my Mac has booted, in order for them all to connect properly. Otherwise, one of them will take ages to show up on the desktop, and when it eventually does, the drives all appear empty! And operate very slowly. This is quite frightening! But reboot them and everything shows up just fine. My other criticism is the fan. It’s incredibly noisy yet moves so little air as to be virtually pointless. The result is that with 4 SSDs in such close proximity in a tight closed space, things get pretty warm. That said, I’m still using the same SSD drives which I installed ten years ago and they’re all still in great shape. In summary, these are a good value and neat solution if like me, you need access to multiple SSDs and can’t afford the more expensive, larger solutions. The packaging they come in is ridiculously over the top and quite unnecessary. I wish they would update this product with an improved model to address these issues. I don’t know if anything better at this price point. So I would recommend them, with some caution.

I am using 2 of these since about 2 to 3 month and they just work fine.

Enkel att läsa satadiskar 2,5" samt 3,5" bara att trycka i samt läser nvme minnen. Köpte på rea (halva priset)och då var priset det rätta.

Funciona perfectamente. Los acabados no están muy acorde respecto al precio, por lo que cuesta podría tener unos acabados un poco mas premium, se siente muy plasticoso y muy ligero aunque cumple su función. La velocidad de transferencia es correcta, copiando archivos pesados desde el PC a uno de los discos alcanza sobre los 650mbs, copiando archivos pesados a 2 discos a la vez la velocidad se divide entre los 2.

Great product, no issues whatsoever, will definitely buy this brand again!

Ottima doccia station facile da usare , usb 3 velocissima ,alimentatore potente.
