Think twice (or more) before buying this enclosure.
After playing with the box I ended up buying 2xSeagate GoFlex 3T from Costco, for $119/each. I get transfer rate more than 150MB/s RW on USB 3.0 (macbook pro retina). This gives me 6T fast storage.
With the mediasonic you spend $100+ on the box, plus $100 for each 2T disk (it did not support 3T drive). To get same capacity as Costco you spend $400+ vs $240.
Mediasonic is much slower (almost USB2 rates 60MB/s over USB3). It's loud (relatively speaking) and bulky.
I bought USB 3 hub (about $25), adding drives from Costco is much more cost-effective, consistent and fast way.

Can we stop posting this Mediasonic crap?
I bought one from previous deals, had to return. Very buggy, works only intermittently and slow when works (compared to Seagate 3T from Costco, 40MBs vs 150) |

It also drops off a lot in USB 3.0. Has something to do with sleep functions. Bad device overall.
