N/A 3/29/2013 9:59:06 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5JBOD Only Pros: Looks Nice, USB 3.0 Cons: No RAID and not worth it. Go for a Rosewill, but be prepared to work on a RAID setup with any of these external enclosures it can be a challenge. Had to return this one and pay shipping and restocking fees. Other Thoughts: Please Someone make a better External RAID solution! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Jeffj9930 3/20/2013 10:06:37 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5A little disappointed Pros: Nice look. Space in between drives for better cooling. Fan spins slow enough so as to not be noisy. Interior construction is OK. Cons: Main complaint is that the USB 3.0 is very unstable. Can't get through a few GB without it crashing the port requiring reboot. I've bought other cases from San Digital and the case has always been made from solid aluminum, but this one has a cheap sheet metal body. Manufacturer Response: Thank you for purchasing our products. USB 3.0 unstable issues could due to incompatibility of the motherboard. There is firmware update for the USB 3.0 to eliminate the problem with disconnect and reconnect. We also recommend connect to a USB hub to check if there is any issues with the onboard USB 3.0 port. Some of the motherboard manufacture creates the USB 3.0 port out of USB 3.0 specification and hence, generating issues. If you are having problem on the unit, please contact us by calling 1-800-980-1988 for technical support and our engineer will try to resolve it over the phone. You can also contact us at tech@sansdigital.com for e-mail supports. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Shadow_x99 12/16/2012 6:22:47 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Great! Pros: - Non-Expensive - Easy to setup - Plug & Play Cons: - A bit on the noisy side. - No RAID Other Thoughts: The reason I am giving thise 4 star out of 5 star is not because of the product, but because of the reality of using software RAID with USB hard-drives I've tried running with in software RAID, and I had to rebuild the RAID array every 2 weeks (and it tooks like 3 days, because I use 2 terabytes hard-drive) I reverted back to a non-raid setup with my trusty rsync scripts 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Ranger01 11/21/2012 7:57:42 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 4/5Reliable Storrage Pros: I have 6 of this model and over 30TB worth of storrage. I have two units running on ESATA 300 and 4 units running on USB dedicated adaptors. I have never had a problem accessing data on either the ESATA or USB3.0 interfaces. I have been using this style of cabinet for about 3 years. I am very pleased with the performace and Quality. Cons: Bad Fans. After 6 months one of the fans started to gurrrr! I to lost # 1 SATA drive two times before I figured out that the FAN was weak, and intermittently gurring, running too slow causing the drive to heat up. I replaced fans in two cabnets, with the clear ANTEC multi speed fans for about 10 bucks each. These worked and cooled better than the stock fans because you could set a higher output speed. Other Thoughts: Over all, I think you would be hard pressed considering the cost of these RAID enclosures to to better elsewhere. The cost of a $10 fan is nothing and plugs right in the same connector, no big deal. Operationally, they have been perfect. The RAID Rebuilds reliably also. Not hot swap. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
