Pros & Cons
Pros
Several old ignored drives have been revived. Will update if there will be issues.
Hdd as backup drives replacing a complete computer used for the same function. Now have another desktop to use and can still back up files when needed. Only thing was there is a flap on top - it helps control the space where your hdd slots in.
Easy to set up and use. Sits nice and firmly on the desk. Any future use, online or offline, is a bonus.
It's perfect, especially with the ability to easy remove and insert a drive. Dust cover for when there are no drives inserted into the bays.
Cons
When i plug in two drives, it freaks out and one of them doesnt work. This is a very poorly designed product that no one should waste their hard earned money on. Items like this one should not be allowed for sale on amazon.
Highlights
Quality
Good product works great easy to use
I dont write a lot of amazon reviews but im very pleased with this product
The build quality is good enough and connecting the hard drives simple enough but you have to make sure you line it up properly
Shipping
While not as fast as an internal hdd it works pretty well
Competitiveness
Usb 3 is much faster than the old usb1 unit i had
It works great with transfer speeds around 130 mbsec between external usb3 devices
