Here is the latest firmware:
https://sabrent.com/community/xen...ost-269862
Scroll to the last post for details. You need to flash the firmware per bay and will need a hard drive in that specific bay to flash the firmware! If you have time to flash one by one, you can define name like per port numbering so it show up properly in device manager! I really want to hard drive sleep timeout feature and looks like this fix it!
For those that got device cannot be flashed due to improper hardware, select that mystery drive and hit safely remove and try again!

The Mini PCs we normally see listed max out with 2.5Gbps networking. So this would be able to keep up and saturate the pipe. If you needed more bandwidth, having separate direct SATA connections would be needed, likely with some type of external SAS connection.
10 drives is very large, unless you are going for extremely cheap small drives to fill the array. IMO it's better to use larger drives as each drive consumes power to run. UGreen has a Kickstarter going right now that has some really crazy deals for NASes that are supposed to ship in June. You might be more bang for your buck there.
Also, anyone thinking of using this many drives, Go with at least one parity disk, or even better two. The chance of data loss increases as you move to more and more drives. Not caring about movies on a single 10TB drive... fine. Not caring about 180TB, that's going to be a much larger pain to replace everything.
I was checking what level of support it has from Sabrent (zero, they have really gone downhill with firmware updates) and there's a thread about how it doesn't have automatic power recovery to bring the drives back up after power loss.
actually, i am not even sure of the reference? but sabrent is very well known in ssd and pc component business for the last 5-10 years

Lol, you know of a used server for under 600 that has 10 3.5 inch drive bays?
This with a USB 3.2 n100 mini pc makes a fantastic NAS, Plex or whatever. Also going to use way less power than any server.
again, this has a very narrow use-case that's a little bonkers to me given what we have today. I'd still rather have 10 3.5" drives in a machine that I can manage and utilize an SAS controller...
something tells me that you can't even really micromanage this thing where you'd have 1 set of 3 drives being RAID 0, another 3 independent, and then another 4 drive RAID 0 either.
another thing I can pick on this is how the drive bays are easy to open and can lock. That's great. but then right next to each bay is a power button... so the accidental "oops I popped out a drive I didn't want to pop out" is solved, but then what if you hit a power button on one of these bays?
don't get me wrong, 1999 me thinks this thing is cool - 2024 me thinks this has a limited usage scope - 2025 me says this is basically obsolete _unless_ I have some stock of 3.5" drives sitting in the basement because I have a team of 4k video editors that need a scratch space to process large videos quickly with their USB 3.2 laptop and want to share that
in any case, there's a plethora of better ways to utilize 10 3.5" drives than what this is (for the price it's going for)
1999 you, 2024 you, and 2025 you should all prob just exit the conversation. You clearly have different priorities and goals. It's a good price for a 10-bay enclosure. Your use case and hardware preferences are irrelevant. You're not adding anything to the discussion.
If you are new to das and nas, I do not recommend buying the ugreen nas. It is the best money to hardware currently (8 bays 12th gen intel), but the software is still ?alpha? ?beta?... nothing is working yet. You are buying on a promise.
I dont know enough... I have to research if they are able to see your data. Will the virus hitting the other nas will affect it? Can China look into your stuff? Nothing is finalized as far as I know.
I know that they heavily edit their software at this time. You can not install any other os even if you go into the bios. So if the company dies, your software can not be updated, and the hardware is a paperweight unless you ok will not point it to the net (air gap) or ok with it being hack later on.
Best ready to go is synology 8 bays 1821. It is the newest most bays without the need to be hounded by synology to buy their drives. terramaster and asustor and other ready to go nas has some problem in the past. You can search if they have resolved it or not.
I can't even imagine how well a software RAID would work on this, so you definitely wouldn't want to use this for anything that requires heavy redundancy.
If you pair it with any of the mini PCs that get listed here and load it up with those refurbished server drives, it would make a pretty killer Plex server.
If you go buy a Synology NAS off the shelf it's going to be software RAID. Most implementations are these days.
Software raid is the only way now. Hardware raid is dead or going to be soon. Everyone says to flash the raid card into IT mode for software like unraid and trunas.

I heard it let people plug into ?usb3? ?usbc? to get 10gbs feed to the array. Is there any way to buy a hub and get 4 computers to access this via usbc?
Do any of you know what an SAS controller is? I'm really struggling to understand why you'd want to lock yourself into a device like this unless you happen to have a ton of 3.5" drives laying around where you'd want to use USB 3.2 exclusively... This thing when loaded is not something you'd want to be moving around much
I did that when I was poor. Just using old leftover drives when omv does not have any form of parity. When they did, I went to parity it once a week.
Linux distro can be re-download.

So whatever you're talking about with power savings vs using a server, please, elaborate that...
I put many more drives inside a cage with an SAS controller and I'm thinking it's effectively the same thing except I had to make the housing and provide the power...
The only difference I'm seeing here is you got to use the USB interface instead. Is that it?
