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

For any person who has 10 1-2tb drives and needs a bay. 😂
Infinitely better than nothing at all. What, you want a recent, peer-reviewed study on what percentage of enterprise use software RAID?
SAS
ECC
iDRAC
Redundant PSU's
Add in what ever PCIE cards you want. Drop in 10GBE for about $20.
not to mention that the build quality is superior to basically anything in the consumer market.
Its great!

How about getting 10G networking on client devices? And a 10G router/switch? Or even better, actual links or screenshots or other forms of proof for any of the claims you're making? Even if you're right, just saying something exists doesn't really help most people.

What I'm seeing is that this device being featured here is something of a cop out for people who don't want to bother to deal with all the details of dealing with mass storage. The only real benefit behind this thing is that it provides a way to slap 10 disks into a box that has a USB 3.2 interface for the (apparent) deal price of $400.... which I think is still really high for what this is.
To me it's obvious that there's a lot of MUCH better solutions than what this is at this price - like the comment you've replied to points one exact solution out. I also know I can piece something together BRAND NEW for around this price too -- pretty sure I could even use a motherboard that has USB 3.2 and set it up to work similar to this if I really wanted... _maybe_ it'll cost a few bucks more if going brand new.. but still, the point is that I really think this thing is a rip off for what it is -- I really think it's just catering a market of folks that just have a lot of disks laying around and they're not managing their data right or they're just being real stubborn with the machines they're working with - they just want to use a laptop only or run some micro server thing that does not have PCIE available to work with...
I can only think of 1 appropriate use case that I mentioned earlier and that's where you have scratch disks laying around and you're running a studio where you want to let people utilize a 10 disk raid 0 to beat them up for scratch work. Bring in your laptop, plug it into this, and work off it.... and even that is silly because you can also utilize NVME drive.... and then on top of this you can use SAS cards to directly interface with the drives, which would be way cheaper.
This thing is just a weird piece of hardware to me - if you really want it, fine -- but for $400 I just think there's a lot of better ways to apply that money.

Thanks for all the links, bro. Appreciate it

One more con, what's the throughput copying from one drive to another. I figure it would be horrible with the data moving out and then into the enclosure, thru whatever USB you connect with.
