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

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.
i made the switch based on the advice of pros that in the modern day cpus are plenty powerful to handle parity and exceed all but the highest end hardware raid controllers, also the fact that rebuilding arrays in the event your raid controller fails is sometimes impossible
zfs pool is portable and can easily be imported to any machine
that said two terramaster d500-cs are cheaper than this 10-bay
Somebody mentioned using BackBlaze Personal (which has unlimited storage) for your third backup. Storing it on BackBlaze is one thing, retrieving more than 8 TB of data from it is a royal PITA from what I hear. I guess that if your largest disk size that you put in this thing was 8 TB, then that would be a non-issue.

Syba SY-ENC50104 4 Bay 3.5" SATA III HDD Non-RAID Enclosure – Supports USB 3.0 & eSATA Interface, Black
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076ZH2...tails
These 4-bays go on sale for around 99 dollars for 4-bay. Then I put Enterprise drives in them and get about 225 Mps speeds.
It has a built in fan, but in the summer I add a fan pointing into the device and look at smart to monitor the temps.
Now, I put smart plug on these units and say" Alexa turn on my 4-bay", and it is up and running in about 15 seconds.
Research options and then make informed choice for your situation.
Happy Shopping.
Seems like you would just order additional 8TB drives from BB to cover data lost that's more than 8TB. Do they not do that?
Software raid has gotten to the point where hardware raid isnt the best, wendall/level 1 techs did a great video on the benefits of ZFS

I am also an IT professional with 25 years of experience in doing all the things you said. I also have various colleagues and former coworkers who have told me things about IT. And we all agree that you're wrong.
There, now we are on equal footing in that regard. But I'm still ahead in terms of visible, researchable links to proof.
Go into any decent data center and nearly every server in nearly every rack is going to have a pair of system/OS disks on hardware RAID1. Additionally, depending on the type of computing, it's going to be using hardware RAID for local disks if its making use of local storage, or it's going to be using SAN and/or NAS in some way (which will be using hardware RAID).
This is basic, cheap "insurance" to improve the reliability and robustness of a server. You don't want to lose a physical server because the OS drive fails. That's a huge waste of time and resources to recover. Instead, business buy their servers with paired OS drives so that when a drive fails, they just ping their hardware support vendor, have a replacement disk sent out, and they hot-swap the failed disk and let the hardware RAID1 automatically rebuild it.
Backblaze blew this model out of the water long ago, and for good reason. That said, you aren't wrong that the antiquated system still is implemented everywhere by the holdover boomers.
I still have some older hardware raid OS drives still running but file system based btrfs mirror is my new boot/host format. I had a drive fail, replaced it, and it rebuilt in less than an hour to the new drive.
Raid is largely obsolete. There are much better, i.e. faster, lower power parity systems these days.
Anyway, I thought I posted this weeks ago, perhaps it was a different post...but for $400 you can get this NETAPP with 24 bays and its network based not c type cable or whatver this post unit uses.
