Ugh, 10gbps too. You're going to leave most of the performance of 5 Sata SSDs unused even if you can afford to populate it. I love the little 10gbps single drive adaptors, but they are like $5. For $100+ enclosures, surely it's time to use more modern USB revisions.

This would have been great a few years ago, but the 2.5" SSD industry is nearly extinct. Something good about this is that it's non-RAID, which has become irrelevant for the past decade (and actually worse/riskier, combining all the drives into one).

What I've been using for years, a far better and slimmed down but better-performing solution (because it bypasses bus conversion), is the Icydock:

Helps to have a case with front panel bays, but the Hello Kitty/gamer geek girls & boyz ruined that feature.

I agree. For most people, 2.5" drives aren't valuable anymore. I do personally have more than enough 2.5" SSD's to populate this enclosure. But all of them are between 240 and 512 GB, and none of them have any features that make them impressive. Even at $115, the price is too high for most to be worthwhile.

2.5" drives need less space, power, and cooling than 3.5" drives. There's less benefit to having them in a single external enclosure. For 2.5" drives, I'd probably rather buy 4+ of the single drive enclosures plus a 10 Gbps USB hub and call it a day.

(An internal dock like your Icydock example that uses direct SATA connections is the route I'd go if I wanted reliability.)

It's quite amazing that the Icydocks come in a 4-up configuration fitting into just one 5.25" drive bay. Meanwhile though, motherboards are annoyingly cheaping out on SATA ports: my new MSI has only four, so that all of them would get gobbled up by one 4-up Icydock. (SATA-3 isn't the kind of protocol that can get "hubbed.")

This isn't a NAS so it can't be used to transfer data over WIFI on its own as any NAS can.

Old drives are expensive too. Sell those bad boys on Ebay.

I personally use a iStarUSA version that fits 6 drives in one bay: https://istarusa.com/assets/pdf/d...asheet.pdf HBA card or an ASMEDIA 1166 adapter will give a ton of sata for cheap and they're mostly plug and play

Wow, six is even better, though frightfully packed tight in regards to cooling and electromagnetic fields. Meantime I do worry about using a PCIe bus since mobos do such a terrible job predicting whether such saturation does damage to other/enough lanes being managed by the north/south/east/west bridges versus CPU...
