I stopped using it a few years ago but it was alright. Eventually my power supply burnt out and when I replaced it with a matching 3rd party one it was never the same. Constant crashes.

In the long run you get what you pay for. I went through many iterations of mass storage.
1. External drives
2. This with shucked external drives.
3. Cheap Arm based NAS.
4. A Higher quality DAS connected to a mini pc running Unraid
5. Now I just built my own Unraid server from a cheap tower case that has crazy amount of drive bays.

Each step of the way I learned that cheaping out was the wrong choice. From what I learned USB isn't great for stability if it is always on. X86 cpu offers flexibility to change your operating system/ecosystem. Mini PCs are more then enough horsepower for a server, but relies on USB and again, that sucks.

How reliable is this? Does the drives suffer from random disconnects?

What case did you use for unraid btw? Mine has a decent amount of bays, but I see more in the future lol

So I had another one of these from them but it was top loading and like a box with a lid. Problem was I had to Nuke the drives and install them clean and empty and if I drop a drive that I've had just sitting in a drawer for a while into it, it doesn't recognize it. So I don't get the point for people like me who have tons of data already on the drives and just want to have it all in one device. So I'm up to any suggestions short of building my own little hard drive Tower.

Is usb protocol inherently flawed for 24/7, or is it more about the device not good enough for 24/7 like this one?I think your no.4 should work just fine

I have this. it's connected to UGreen NAS. I like that the discs do not spin when not in use. I rarely access the disks that I have it, but it has been up and running without problems since the summer.

I also keep mine upright because I have a hole in my shelf that the wires can go through, if that info is helpful to anyone.... I also paid the same price for it.

More than a year ago I got a similar Orico docking station, but magnetic and no-clonning. Using it since then, non-stop, with only two 12GB drives, was worried it will get hot, but temps will not go over 50 degrees, unless I have 4 or more drives in there.
Overall, for our small needs, it is convenient and working fine. Never had disconnects or issues with.
For a bigger project, I would recommend looking somewhere else.

I have this and have no issues. Similar to paqmanbiker, it was one of my first iterations of pool storage arrays, and have outgrown it to a 36 bay Unitrends server enclosure. Drives did not get hot, but I also did have a 240mm wall outlet fan that I laid over top to extract hot air from the drives to increase reliability. Since my growth, this is now sitting in the closet after having used for maybe 1 month continuous.

I have 3 Unraid machines. Watch SpaceInvaderOne and Ibracorp. Lots of great videos including ones where they start from scratch. The Docker and VM setup of apps and OSes is so easy. Be warned that it's the gateway drug to more selfhosting!

Sure. 1. Install it (www.unraid.com) 2. Play with it and learn how to use it. 3. If any specific questions, google "Unraid + your_specific question"It's mostly GUI, and so it's not at all difficult. The forums (Unraid forums) are filled with people to answer questions and google previous questions.
