Pros: Tons of storage Great deal Low usage

Overall Review: I reached out to A B C Green multiple times before the sale and they were very responsive. I decided to purchase this hard drive and I'm happy that I did. I did a smartctl -t long SMART test on the drive and received the attached results. Everything came back with great numbers. The drive appeared in great condition but there was a small ding and dent on the drive but that isn't effecting performance. I will continue to monitor this drive but I'm happy with it so far.

Pros: Sleek and stylish USB connection is USB-A and USB-C

Cons: Way to hot Doesn't cool enough Doesn't work

Overall Review: I tried using this enclosure with Proxmox and kept running into connectivity issues. At first, I thought it was an issue with Proxmox so I decided to connect the enclosure to my Windows laptop. Thats when I saw the issues with the temperature. I tried bumping up my air conditioner but that didn't help this enclosure. I could've tried taking hard drives out of the enclosure but that defeats the purpose of having 5 bays. I will be returning this immediately.
