Review: Perfect External Solution to once Internal 3.5" High-Capacity Performance Hard-Drives - [Overall:] If you are looking to get mechanical drives out of your system but want still use them due to their high-capacity and/or performance (in the case of my WD Black drives), this was the best quality solution. As I stated in my original review in 2020, if anything changes with my experience with this, I'll be sure to update (as long as I'm still alive for it). My experience didn't change 5 years later, my love for the drive just increased. I honestly do not expect any issues going into Year 6 (2026). [Initial/Updated Thoughts after 5 full years:] I bought the Sabrent USB 3.2 5-Bay in Jan 2020 and all bays have been in DAILY use for a full 5 years (Dec 2025). Surprised the enclousure or the drives haven't failed (especially the drives, they are well past their intended lifespan--still...don't forget to backup your drives). I dislike that all the reviews for each bay type is consolidated into one listing, but that's an desertcart problem. When I bought this in 2020, the packaging for the 5-bay stated USB 3.1 GEN 2 but the listing was for USB 3.2, which was confusing because of the USB naming schema provided by the "USB Implementers Forum". At the time, USB 3.1 GEN 2 was renamed to USB 3.2, and provided 10Gbps (which USB 3.2 [GEN 2] is and such was the case under the former name [USB 3.1 GEN 2]). Most SATA III cables are 6 Gbps, so this item was perfect for what I intended to do. Not sure what the packaging says 5 full years later, but I didn't have any major issues to warrant buying a new one (although I did think about the 10-bay several times). [Usage:] In 2020, I upgraded my PC with. I did not want to cable manage SATA cables in a smaller case and didn't want to move/copy everything to the smaller capacity NVME or SSD drives offered at the time. On the PC before it, I had many media files, documents, and games on multiple WD Black HDDs. I wanted a bay that can give me the same performance of having a SATA cable--and 5 years later, it still does so. While I don't play games off it anymore, technology as evolved, it does still store a backlog of games, media, documents, backups, etc. For 5 years, I was able to use the drives exactly how I wanted to and am getting the same performance as SATA III (especially without the internal wiring). I can seamlessly use the drives between PCs with the caveat of making sure the drive lettering is set up consistently with each machine (i.e. to avoid having to reinstall games, rewrite any hard-coding, file path shortcuts, etc.). [Quality:] This 5-bay has solid construction and is very well designed. Cool to the touch and manages power based on drive usage--but is always in the ready. The locks for each bay and the clear labeling was a very easy plug-and-play situation. While it does accumulate dust within the enclosure, a quick blow of an air compressor gets it back into looking "new". After 5 years, the only issue I had with the enclosure was that the board/circuit of the unit started making an indiscernible noise. It's not the fans or the drives, but something else. I honestly could not pinpoint it, but there hasn't been any performance issues at all. It just works. [Additional Thoughts:] 1. If you have more than 5 3.5" HDDs to use but don't want buy more bays? You can hot-swap. 2. The provided USB cables (USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C) did it's job, but were too short and thus I needed longer cables. Finding USB 3.2 cables for 10 Gbps for over 3ft wasn't the smoothest shopping experience because longer lengths have a bit uncertainty (due to how they are listed), but they are there and have worked to expectations. 3. Pretty much your own external drive solution...just have to have your own drives. :)
Review: Solid, stable, and fast. - The Sabrent 10-bay USB enclosure is the single best addition to my PC system in years. It's about the size of a medium-sized desktop tower pc. It is solidly built of metal, and is quite heavy. Drives simply slide in to the ten bays, each of which has its own door and it's own power switch. The controller in the enclosure handles handles access and governs traffic, requiring only a single USB-C connection to your laptop or desktop. The internal power supply is fed by a single standard three-prong grounded AC cable. I've found this to be a solid, reliable, and very fast platform for my various SATA drives, and a huge improvement over the tangled bedlam of external single drives, RAID enclosures, power supplies, extension cables, data cables, hubs, power supplies for hubs etc., etc., that had become a plague to my computer system. I see in some reviews that folks have expressed trouble with the drives disconnecting. My experience had been the exact opposite. I think the disconnection troubles I had in the past were due to running through one or more powered USB hubs just to accommodate all the external drives; I think various firmware-based power timeouts were involved. In this case, I've got the entire stack of ten connected to the OC by a single USB cable, going directly into the computer: no hubs. The drives go to sleep, certainly, but awake immediately upon demand. I've had zero trouble with disconnections. This is a big part of why I've characterized this unit as "solid, stable, and fast." This could not be more welcome. A long time pc user, I kind of moved sideways from desktops to laptops as a primary platform, gaining flexibility, portability, and convenience - in many ways. But. In other ways, the laptop form factor imposes strict limitations, most especially, in storage expansion. As a multi-decade serious photographer and at-home video and music producer, the move from analog to digital has introduced serious, grown-up, storage, archive and preservation issues, not to mention capacity issues. So what began for me as a couple of USB external expansion drives grew over time into a glutted city of USB drives and USB RAID enclosures, accompanied by an increasingly unmanageable tangle of cables, power supplies, and hubs. I was plagued with disconnects, time-outs, and other issues, intermittent, yet never ending. This enclosures has alleviated all of that. The drives simply work, and work well. I broke up the RAID-1 enclosures, and over a period of several weeks, sequentially copied all the material on them onto individual drives installed in this enclosure: a kind of extended bucket brigade process. The drives originated mostly as bare drives I already had in use as RAID pairs. As a pair of RAID drives would become empty and available, I split them up, reformatted them, and moved them into the 10-bay enclosure. What about RAID? Well, Windows does a decent job of handling RAID in software. If you think about it, all RAID is actually in software, just some of that software is installed as firmware in hardware. So far, I haven't rebuilt any of the four RAID-1 groups I had before, opting, for now, to manage mirroring and backup manually across the drives in the enclosure. If and when that becomes too unwieldy, I'll move back to RAID-1 pairs, but software-based, on drives in the enclosure. To sum up moving my drives into this enclosure has been a rigorous but welcome project. It has resulted in fewer duplicate management issues, hugely increased efficiency, and much improved reliability. I am delighted with the Sabrent 10-bay enclosure.

## Features

- 4-Bay Direct-Attached Storage (No RAID): Connect up to four 3.5” SATA HDDs or SSDs at once through a single USB-C port. Each drive is recognized individually — this docking station does not provide built-in RAID, ensuring simple, flexible storage.
- Independent Bay Power Control: Each bay includes its own power switch and LED activity indicator, letting you safely power drives on or off without affecting others — ideal for backups, data recovery, and media workflows.
- Fast 10Gbps USB-C Performance: Equipped with USB 3.2 Gen 2, enjoy transfer speeds up to 10Gbps for smooth 4K/8K video editing, bulk file transfers, or high-capacity archiving. Fully backward compatible with older USB standards.
- Tray-Less Hot-Swap Convenience: Quickly insert or remove drives without trays, screws, or caddies. Each bay features a locking key to prevent accidental ejection during operation — perfect for users who frequently swap drives.
- Durable Aluminum Build with Active Cooling: The rugged aluminum housing enhances durability and heat dissipation, while a built-in fan actively cools drives. Designed for reliable, long-term operation with today’s largest SATA drives.

Everything looks awesome just that they use stupid china fan which is totally crap. So I swapped in the famous and very expensive Noctua fan.
