Wavlink's RapidFire is a 4-bay SATA enclosure that stands out for its 10Gbps USB-C connection, 4K HDMI output, and individual drive power switches. The HDMI port can act as an alternate display over USB-C, which makes it appealing as a desk or laptop dock setup, and the enclosure can be used for fast backups or even RAIDing four SSDs. The main drawbacks are the 10Gbps ceiling, the need for separate 2.5-inch adapters, and reports of drives not being detected or dropping out. Noise and heat also come up, with the small fan running loudly and drives getting hot under load.

Common Questions (5)

  • The HDMI port works as an alternate display over USB-C, so the connected PC must support display over USB-C for it to activate. If your setup already uses an alternate-display USB-C connection, the HDMI output may not work or may only mirror the screen.

  • Yes, it is limited to 10Gbps over USB-C, and that is the main performance complaint. For a 4-bay enclosure, that cap can bottleneck faster SSD setups and makes it less appealing for users expecting 20Gbps-class throughput.

  • No, the 2.5-inch adapters are sold separately. That means 2.5-inch SSDs or HDDs may need extra accessories before they can be mounted in the enclosure.

  • It can run hot and the small fan can be loud, especially with multiple drives installed. One reported setup had drives running hot with three installed and the fan staying at full speed, which made it a poor fit for quiet use.

  • It has reported issues where drives are not detected after installation or drop out during use. That makes it a riskier choice if you need dependable always-on storage.

Yeah, my first thought after seeing the HDMI port and USB-C passthrough for a dock was "This would be nice for a laptop. Too bad it would cost $2k to fill it properly."

It's a decent deal, but too bad drives are so pricey.

It acts as a USBC Hub.
So it requires your PC to have display over USBC and then your laptop / PC is connected to this - the HDMI out becomes active.

Tempting. Very tempting. This would look great on my desk attached to a Steam Deck.
HDMI 4K@60hz is a minimum must, but would be nice if it could do 120hz.
Needing 2.5" adapters that are sold-seperately is very not nice.
Individual drive power switches isn't something I ever thought about needing, until now. Thats a pretty cool feature.
Still for $100..

Edit: I can't find this thing anywhere on Wavlink's site. That's a dealbreaker for me.

The HDMI function as an alt-display over USB. That's important to note because if someone already has an alt-display in their setup, this other HDMI output would either not function at all, or only function in mirror mode.

So Allll that space... and you don't even give it 2x2 and kneecap it at 10gbps? Pathetic. It's 2026, 20gbps is the bare minimum anymore.
Lol you aren't maxing out spinning rust non raid with 10gb

Listed at Amazon with a 3.8 out of 5 stars. Some 'cons' are drives aren't found after installing them or dropping out. I am passing on this.

I like the utilitarian form factor of this enclosure. I'm considering buying it just b/c, but before I do, I need to look at some reviews. Anybody w/ experience using one of these would like to chime in regarding their experience?

If I was going to utilize this thing(not necessary yet) I Would be RAIDing 4 SSD's. This would yield a combined throughput of approx. 20gbps, competing with basic M.2 drives and enough oomph to run games and stream off without significant bottlenecks.
Would enable ultra-fast data backups as well.

IMO, get the ORICO 4 Bay Multi-Bay External Storage DAS Solution for $114 instead. Has RAID and doesn't look wierd.
