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

Give comskip a try, it auto identifies the commercials. You can then use other programs to cut out just the commercials before you do your re-encode. But it might be best to review what it's doing, it's always possible something isn't detected right and starts deleting things it shouldn't.

there was a docker container I used to use to strip out commercials called "auto-comskip" but I can see the image for that was decommissioned -- it was a big game of cat and mouse but it did seem to work maybe 80% of the time... at least it didn't remove primary content from my usage.
The ones that complain about reliability all seem to be 10 years old or older. We're on windows 11 now. I think they've fixed some of the problems at this point.
Maybe I'll try StoreMI instead. Thanks for the links.

And if you need SSD caching on top of that, I've been using StableBit DrivePool to absorb writes to an NVMe SSD before offloading it onto spinning disks, whether they're individual or an underyling Storage Spaces array

This tread is about a storage enclosure. I did mention eBay for the complete USED servers and even included the model, which is what you could compare to this posting, IMHO.
If you inquiry is earnest, I'd be happy to share more of my opinions, but I not sure that's what you are after.

I'm not depending on an internet rando to educate me. I already know what the right choice is. I'm trying to stop you from scaring other people off. Anybody who clicked this link is obviously already interested in something like this.
You're standing in front of a hot dog stand trying to tell people burgers are better. It's incredibly stupid.
here's an article on just a few reasons why using multidisk usb storage is generally a bad idea (in the context of truenas, but is similar for other systems as well)
the deal with directly connect ethernet devices is that they ALSO should be connected to your 1g network as well. (so you use your onboard nic on the server to connect it to your normal network switch (same with the workstation), and you connect the high speed network cards together directly. - then on the workstation, you map the network drives using the server's high speed ip address (which should preferably be in a different ip range (i.e. if you use a 192.168.0.x or a 10.0.0.x for your lan, the high speed static link should be 192.168.1.x or 10.0.1.x so that the machines know that they are accessing 2 different networks. - note: if you call the server by name instead of ip, you'll get the slow ip and the data will flow over the slow connection on the workstation. (if you really want to you can manually change this in the hosts file by defining it's name and telling it that name can be found at the high speed link's server ip, but i've never bothered.
You can definitely still get SMART data over USB. All of my USB enclosures can, and I'm sure this one can too. You can't get smart data through a RAID card (EDIT: in raid mode. HBA mode works), though. That's well documented.
Yeah, I'm not gonna do all that networking stuff just to add more storage to my computer, and no one else who clicked to look at this will either.

It really feels like this should cost way less than it does. Shouldn't a manufacturer be able to sell something like this for $150 or $200 and still make a sizeable profit?

I see an 8 bay enclosure for $220 from another manufacturer but it's not USB C and it uses trays.
