They run hot. I have one hooked up to my NAS, and the OS will turn the entire system off occasionally to prevent damage to the drives. Having all drives loaded can cause it to exceed safe operation temps. I had to use an external fan to assist with air flow and outer casing thermals. My NAS is Synology, I've had 10 bays used on it for 2+ years, and I never ran into a temp issue until hooking this up via USB.

Dont read the comments thinking they're mentioning the features that this model has. No hot swap and no RAID on this model. No mention of supporting NVME trays.

Wowzers... And I was actually considering buying one of these too, smh. Guess I should be grateful to have purchased this one [amazon.com] instead which I gotten for $102 when it went on sale earlier this year.

After researching multiple other options for a laptop-based NAS/Plex/backup server and trying out Storage Spaces and UNRAID, I ended up buying StableBit DrivePool ($29) to use four drives in a DAS like this as one logical drive with RAID-like capabilities. It gives quite a bit of control over redundancy and leveling (down to per-folder in the same drive letter), so I can set my critical documents to copy to all four drives, but scratch or easily replaceable files only one or two. It also uses standard NTFS (or REFS) partitions so if the OS fails or system needs replacement, files are accessible immediately without installing software or rebuilding. I also partitioned the laptop's built-in SSD to use as a write caching drive, so those initial writes from downloads/video projects are super fast and data can be shuffled to the HDDs smartly, and it doesn't need to immediately wake the array especially for smaller files.

Is this good to dump photos on my phone to clear storage, or would yall recommend something different? Some more context, my parents only buy the 128gb storage phones, can I connect their phone to this and dump their photos and video to store in this or can you recommend something different?

For those with heat issues, you're running 5400RPM drives designed for NAS devices, right? Not regular hard drives like WD Black.

I bought the 5 bay version last year for a few dollars more. It works well, but has a weird sleep mode. I downloaded a utilty to change the sleep setting.

Mine was using 30W whether it was being accessed or not. They are NAS drives, but I don't know the speed. I hooked up a 5V relay to my computer's USB port. Now when my computer shuts down the DAS shuts down.

Been using a HP ProLiant MicroServer G7 that I bought from Newegg 16 yrs ago, that has 4 built in bays. This has been my TrueNAS for this long and chugging still along with no issue, serving a 5 member family with photos, documents, movies etc. 3-tier backups are in place, before someone jumps on that topic :-)
