Fast throughput (depends on SSD, of course). Nice quality cables. No screws to loose. Easy to assemble. Works with Linux.

Excellent speed & quiet fan.

Light weight Well made Easy to set up



Hot-Swap capability, fast communication, ease of use

The case is solid. I have no fear of putting my expensive hard drives in it. It's easy to open. The levers are all in good condition and ejecting the trays is a smooth experience. Adding the drives is easy and they mounted in the finder without any issue. I used Apple's RAID assistant to put all the drives into a single raid. Again an effortless, smooth experience.

Very easy to setup




I keep movies on my bare purple HDD's .. occasionally I use a 2-Bay Dock but this 4-Bay Dock is very nice moving large files between HDD's as well as viewing all the files from Four drives at one time. I see someone here complained about the Dock rebooting while removing one HDD, that is not the case, every HDD stays powered and active while hot-swapping one for another. I'm mainly using my 17" R4 laptop with WinX if that makes a difference, but my Thinkpad T480 with WinX has the same results.

Solid aluminum case is classy. Works great. Needs to be manually formatted and partitioned before it becomes operable though.


The case holds the 3.5" HDD's nicely. I store the drives in ESD bags and the bags in the slots and it works well


Nice and compact


- 2 minutes "plug and use" - Good value for the price
