Review: Glad I made this purchase. - I have had mine for over 6 months and it has worked flawlessly. The drives were very easy to install as well as connecting the USB 3.0 to a port on my PC. I like that I can individually turn the drives on and off as well as turn the complete rack on and off. I used a label maker to identify each drive which helps remembering which drive is plugged into what tray position. The unit runs cool and quiet, the sound from the fan is very low. The design fits nicely on my desk, looks nice and clean, and does not take up much space. I would definitely recommend this product. It is a very good value for the money as you can't beat the price.
Review: Perfect for Archival - I had a bunch of legacy drives and was swapping out my computer, I didn't want my new huge tower to be stuffed with hard drives for various reasons. This connected with USB quickly and all my drives showed up in Linux. It even works with LUKS (encryption) without problem. Just a note: This isn't RAID nor did I want it, but in certain cases transferring files will be slow. Especially between drives in the same tower -- the nature of USB is that the processor has to handle it and send it down the same wire. Imagine a 1 car tunnel on a two way street. One side passes, then has to yield to the other side. Yeah, it's gonna be slower than a seamless flow of 2 way traffic. It'll eventually get it done but is not something for speed demons. For a faster exchange of data from drives into the tower to another, I would suggest keeping the drive you are transferring data to from the others via a seperate cable - whether internal to your computer tower or a seperate single enclosure - I had various external drives that I just took apart and put the new HDD in without much problem. As it is, it's perfect for those drives you put the random files on or archive. I'm reading about those who are putting SDDs in these and expecting speed -- USB is not appropriate for speed in the first place. That's what SATA/eSATA is for at the least, although NVMe is fastest. Second, you're not gonna split 4/8 drives and get cutting edge speed. Does not happen. Great for archival, transfer of files if you have time, and storing HDDs out of the way but still usable. Bad for getting the most speed out of your drives, especially if accessing 2+ at a time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anybody tried using this with openmediavault? plan on doing a nas with this on a raspberry pi 4. will setup redundancy on the pi.**
A: Snapraid works like a charm and the RPi 4 w/ Raspian recognized all of my Seagate & WD drives up to 18 TB per drive without issue. Have a separate file server series running off USB hub connected to Intel NUC 9 w/ Ubuntu and works just as good. Had tremendous success with these towers for home media server with OMV, Portainer/Docker, and Plex on RPi 4, but they appear to be functional for every Linux OS I seem to throw at them.

**Q: If power is lost, will this unit power up automatically when power is restored?**
A: That was a concern for me with it as a backup and video server.    I then realized that I had an ample UPS on the computer next to my server.   I should have had them on the UPS from the beginning.   Always better to have a server and hard drives on a UPS anyway and to automatically shut down gracefully if the UPS is reaching low power.

**Q: Vibration level with max disks?**
A: I can't tell you with all 8 disks installed, but I have 5 running with extremely slight detectable vibration through my finger tips. My Syba is stacked on top of a Dell Optiplex tower. To date, I have had no problems.

**Q: Does this unit shut down (sleep) when the pc is turned off? and does is auto boot-up when the pc turned on?**
A: Dear Customer,
It will turn off when you turn off your PC. I believe you have to power it on manually on boot up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Archival

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great!
*by K***Y on February 25, 2022*

I had all these extra SATA drives lying around after having done some upgrades over the years. This is a great place for me to store and still use the drives. I've read this doesn't do RAID, but I haven't tried attempting it. It's easy to use. Plug in the power, plug the USB cord into the PC, and put a drive in. You pull out the tray and just pop a drive in, no screws needed. You will need to pull the clip back so the hard drive will fit in properly. The clip is on the side where a rail would be, and holds the drive in place. Then just push it into the box. You can individually turn on each drive. I have all 8 filled, from 500 GB up to 8 GB drives. Haven't had a problem using any of them. For a new drive, you may need to use the hard disk manager to tell Windows there is a drive, and then format it. I've left all of them on, and able to access each one. But in normal use, I just turn on the ones I need. Now there is a master power. It can turn off the power to all the drives at once. When you power on, it will turn on all the drives. It does not remember which drives was on before. So I usually just leave the master button on, and individually turn on or off the ones I need. It works best plugging it into USB 3.
