4 Bay Hard Drive Enclosure with Cooling Fan for 2.5/3.5" SATA HDD/SSD with USB A/C 3.0 Cable, Tool-Free HDD Enclosure, 3.5 Hard Drive Enclosure Support 80TB, Hot Swappable(NO RAID/NAS)

I’ve got a pile of old hard drives from back in the day, and this CENMATE 3-Bay Enclosure was exactly what I needed to put them to good use. It’s built sturdy, easy to set up, and the cooling fan keeps everything running smooth without getting too hot. Plugged it into my computer, and bam—instant access to all my files! Whether you’re backing up data or just organizing your storage, this enclosure is a great investment. It’s fast, reliable, and doesn’t take up much space. Perfect for anyone who values their tech and wants to keep it safe.

This drive enclosure is very useful....I had a couple of drives setting around and never knew if they were good or bad and i did not want to open up a computer to install and check. This enclosure is so simple and well performing I was impressed. It really is no tool installation...for 3.5 drives you just snap out the blue side members and then snap the back in. then ou slide the drive in and it is connected. There is a power supply and USB cable, and my PC recognized it immediately. What a terrific system . You can hot swap...take in and out with ease.

Four stars cause I could not get my SSD to work but all my HDD's work great. Stays nice and cool, the fan is quiet enough but loud compared to my silent case fans.

This solved my storage solution! Very easy to use and very portable! Not to mention a great price. I bought two, 2tb hard drives and no issues! Might buy a second for my other computer

This is exactly what I wanted. I have a basic M4 MacMini and I had too many external drives that filled all the sockets and covered my desk. I shut down the computer, collected my 2 SSD's and 2 HD's and loaded them into the trays. It took a couple minutes to figure it out the trays and mounting technique. I plugged this gadget into the mini with the provided cable (just one "C" connection for 4 SATA drives), turned it on and "Wham!" everything was perfect. All my drives mounted and functional.There is no objectionable noise. This is an excellent tool, simply packaged and my mac sits on its roof all very cool and content.Thank you Cenmate!

Working fine with my Linux desktop computer using disks with btrfs filesystem. Very fast and quiet.

Works well, but the constant fan is noisy. It's on all the time regardless if the drives are in active use or not.

Bought this to use with a mini PC running Proxmox, specifically a Server 2022 VM to act as a backup for my media library, documents, etc.Drives used are spare 2x 2TB and 1x 4TB WD Reds I had lying around. Getting them in the trays isn't too bad if you use the screws method by removing the plastic locking mechanisms (they just snap off).Was literally plug in and go-Proxmox saw each drive as its own USB interface, so I could pass specific ones through to specific VMs if I need to. Super easy to set up and use.Transfer rates from drive to drive in the chassis is as expected (90-110MB/s), and so far I haven't had any issues with drives disconnecting or dropping randomly.For extra storage at both this price point and convenient size (the unit is no bigger than a toaster), I can definitely recommend this product.
