Review: Nice box! It does exactly what I wanted it to do. - I have had several external drives hooked to my iMac for various purposes, and for this reason, I've always been short of USB ports and really tired of all the power bricks for each drive. I had power strips and USB hubs and cables everywhere. This box is the perfect solution for that problem. I have mounted 5 bare drives in the 8 slots of my unit, getting rid of 4 USB port cables, an extra USB hub (that often gave me issues) and 5 separate power bricks. This thing cleaned up my computer setup immensely. The box is quiet (actually silent sitting on the floor next to my computer desk), compact, and in the month since I bought it, it's worked perfectly. No unwanted disconnects, and hey, it just works! It has a master power switch on the lower left corner of the front, to shut off power to the entire unit. And each drive slot has a switch to power down just that drive. This is very handy, since the drives are hot-swappable, and this allows you to power down only the drive you want to change out, and power up a replacement when you're ready. Within a minute or so of powering it up, the new drive appears in the computer's drive list. This also allows you to have drives "off-line", but ready to go at the touch of a button. All without dismounting the other drives in the unit. This enclosure is NOT a RAID device. Each drive shows up as a separate disk as if it were separately connected to the computer. You could create a RAID array with RAID software if you want, but the enclosure has no such capability built in. It's a JBOD, "Just a Bunch Of Drives," which is exactly what I needed. It's not a NAS, either. It's connected directly to the computer through USB (or a eSATA connection of you want), not to the network router. Its volumes can, however, be shared just like any other external drives within the capabilities of whatever OS you're using. It works like a charm on my iMac, running Mojave, and the mounted drives show up fine in Windows 10 running under Parallels. (If you do as I did and use external drives removed from Seagate's proprietary cases, you'll probably have to reformat them once, because the Seagate interface does something funky to how they communicate. This box has a standard SATA interface for each slot, so any bare SATA drives will slip right in and work like a charm.) It works just like a generic external enclosure for each drive. Yes, the box has a plastic bezel in front, but the rest of the case is made of sturdy steel. (It looks and is made much like a black medium-sized tower PC case. ) The drive trays are made of fairly light plastic with a small metal insert at the front where the latching mechanism lives. But the latches are easy to operate (squeeze from the sides), and the trays are easy to insert and remove. If you're just a bit careful with the trays when they're removed, they will work fine. It would be nice if Syba sold the mounting trays separately, but to my knowledge they do not. The drive mounting trays do fit into the box well, the latches work, and there's plenty of ventilation for the drives, with the high/low speed selection on the internal fan. The trays will work with standard 3.5" drives or 2.5" laptop-sized ones, and they are "toolless", since you don't need screws to mount standard drives. There are springy plastic fingers on the side of the tray that snap into the mounting hole locations on 3.5" drives. The trays have holes in the bottom (and they give you little bags of the proper screws to mount 2.5" laptop drives.) I did have one issue when I mounted a laptop drive. The back right side spring pin hit the side of the drive since there's no hole there, so when you try to install the tray, the spring pin sticks out and makes it quite difficult to slide in. I think that particular spring pin would probably end up broken off if you did that very often. But if I was going to use those drives often, I'd probably just snap that back pin off in those trays anyway, because even with only 3 of the 4 pins in place, the drive would be more than adequately secured. So, small problem, easy solution. My only small gripe was that there was no natural place to put labels on the front of the drive trays to indicate what drive is where. You get up to 8 drive slots, depending on the configuration you buy, and after a while, it can get clumsy to keep referring to an external key as to what drive is in what slot. I solved that by designing and 3D printing a small 1-1/2" wide by 1" high T-shaped name plate that slides into the cooling vent between the latches (there's plenty of other space for sufficient airflow). I put a printed DYMO label on each that's easy to change if I need to. Now it's easy to tell what's where. I did order a longer USB 3.0 cable, because the 1m/3ft. cable that came with it wouldn't easily reach to the back of the computer. When I test the speed on the drives, they are exactly the same speed as when they were individually connected before. (I didn't test the eSATA interface.) All in all, this is exactly what I needed. I'm very happy with this Syba drive enclosure. Update: 10/2022 I'm now using a PC vs. my old iMac, but this box is still exactly what I need. It works just as well with the PC as it did with the iMac. Of course, I had to reformat the drives, but that's because of the change of operating systems, not a fault of the device. The speed is based on the interface you connect it to. I'm. My case, it's USB 3.1, and the transfer speed to WD spinning drives is about 100-12MB/s.
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.

## 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.

### ⭐ Runs great...until it doesn't
*by P***! on October 5, 2020*

The 8 drive bay worked beautifully with 6 of my drives attached, a 10 TB, 8 TB, 2x 6 TB, and 2x 4 TB. Thermals were good, fans were whisper silent, speeds were slow but acceptable (despite USB 3.0 on paper supporting 600 MB/s transfer speeds, this gets around 150 MB/s shared across ALL drives). Why the one star? It gets I/O errors randomly. There is no real rhyme or reason to it, but every so often a drive would disconnect entirely and disappear from Explorer OR it would appear, show my folders, but any attempt to open them was met with an I/O Disk Read Error. These drives had no issues before being placed in the enclosure and after being put BACK into my machine (originally got this since I wanted to swap my case but finding a mid-tower with 6+ 3.5'' bays like my Phantom 410 is not an easy task anymore) leads me to believe that the enclosure is at fault. There also is a nasty little design flaw that Syba informed me WAS expected behaviour: The drives will enter sleep after a certain amount of inactivity regardless of any settings in Windows be it USB sleep settings or hard disk sleep settings. This is an issue if you're using these for a media server like I was. There's a noticeable delay when the drives spin back on and almost all of the times I got that dreaded I/O error was when a drive was waking. If given that I/O error the only way to fix it was to physically turn either the drive on and off or the whole enclosure. Not an ideal solution, and I couldn't safely eject any time I did this as Windows would tell me the drive was in use. If you value your data, I would steer clear using this as a daily driver. Maybe as an on-site backup, but if you want to actually USE the drives installed regularly, look elsewhere.
