Pros: 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.
Cons: No cons yet... I will change my review if something comes up.
Overall Review: For the money, compared to other 4-Bay solutions and the purpose I'm using these for, I would definitely buy another if needed.
