As I stated in my original review in 2020, if anything changes with my experience with this, I'll be sure to update (as long as I'm still alive for it). My experience didn't change 5 years later, my love for the drive just increased. I honestly do not expect any issues going into Year 6 (2026). [Initial/Updated Thoughts after 5 full years:] I bought the Sabrent USB 3.2 5-Bay in Jan 2020 and all bays have been in DAILY use for a full 5 years (Dec 2025). Surprised the enclousure or the drives haven't failed (especially the drives, they are well past their intended lifespan--still...don't forget to backup your drives). I dislike that all the reviews for each bay type is consolidated into one listing, but that's an desertcart problem. When I bought this in 2020, the packaging for the 5-bay stated USB 3.1 GEN 2 but the listing was for USB 3.2, which was confusing because of the USB naming schema provided by the "USB Implementers Forum". At the time, USB 3.1 GEN 2 was renamed to USB 3.2, and provided 10Gbps (which USB 3.2 [GEN 2] is and such was the case under the former name [USB 3.1 GEN 2]). Most SATA III cables are 6 Gbps, so this item was perfect for what I intended to do. Not sure what the packaging says 5 full years later, but I didn't have any major issues to warrant buying a new one (although I did think about the 10-bay several times). [Usage:] In 2020, I upgraded my PC with. I did not want to cable manage SATA cables in a smaller case and didn't want to move/copy everything to the smaller capacity NVME or SSD drives offered at the time. On the PC before it, I had many media files, documents, and games on multiple WD Black HDDs. I wanted a bay that can give me the same performance of having a SATA cable--and 5 years later, it still does so. While I don't play games off it anymore, technology as evolved, it does still store a backlog of games, media, documents, backups, etc. For 5 years, I was able to use the drives exactly how I wanted to and am getting the same performance as SATA III (especially without the internal wiring). I can seamlessly use the drives between PCs with the caveat of making sure the drive lettering is set up consistently with each machine (i.e. to avoid having to reinstall games, rewrite any hard-coding, file path shortcuts, etc.). [Quality:] This 5-bay has solid construction and is very well designed. Cool to the touch and manages power based on drive usage--but is always in the ready. The locks for each bay and the clear labeling was a very easy plug-and-play situation. While it does accumulate dust within the enclosure, a quick blow of an air compressor gets it back into looking "new". After 5 years, the only issue I had with the enclosure was that the board/circuit of the unit started making an indiscernible noise. It's not the fans or the drives, but something else. I honestly could not pinpoint it, but there hasn't been any performance issues at all. It just works. [Additional Thoughts:] 1. If you have more than 5 3.5" HDDs to use but don't want buy more bays? You can hot-swap. 2. The provided USB cables (USB-C to USB-A and USB-C to USB-C) did it's job, but were too short and thus I needed longer cables. Finding USB 3.2 cables for 10 Gbps for over 3ft wasn't the smoothest shopping experience because longer lengths have a bit uncertainty (due to how they are listed), but they are there and have worked to expectations. 3. Pretty much your own external drive solution...just have to have your own drives. :) Review: Solid, stable, and fast. - The Sabrent 10-bay USB enclosure is the single best addition to my PC system in years. It's about the size of a medium-sized desktop tower pc. It is solidly built of metal, and is quite heavy. Drives simply slide in to the ten bays, each of which has its own door and it's own power switch. The controller in the enclosure handles handles access and governs traffic, requiring only a single USB-C connection to your laptop or desktop. The internal power supply is fed by a single standard three-prong grounded AC cable. I've found this to be a solid, reliable, and very fast platform for my various SATA drives, and a huge improvement over the tangled bedlam of external single drives, RAID enclosures, power supplies, extension cables, data cables, hubs, power supplies for hubs etc., etc., that had become a plague to my computer system. I see in some reviews that folks have expressed trouble with the drives disconnecting. My experience had been the exact opposite. I think the disconnection troubles I had in the past were due to running through one or more powered USB hubs just to accommodate all the external drives; I think various firmware-based power timeouts were involved. In this case, I've got the entire stack of ten connected to the OC by a single USB cable, going directly into the computer: no hubs. The drives go to sleep, certainly, but awake immediately upon demand. I've had zero trouble with disconnections. This is a big part of why I've characterized this unit as "solid, stable, and fast." This could not be more welcome. A long time pc user, I kind of moved sideways from desktops to laptops as a primary platform, gaining flexibility, portability, and convenience - in many ways. But. In other ways, the laptop form factor imposes strict limitations, most especially, in storage expansion. As a multi-decade serious photographer and at-home video and music producer, the move from analog to digital has introduced serious, grown-up, storage, archive and preservation issues, not to mention capacity issues. So what began for me as a couple of USB external expansion drives grew over time into a glutted city of USB drives and USB RAID enclosures, accompanied by an increasingly unmanageable tangle of cables, power supplies, and hubs. I was plagued with disconnects, time-outs, and other issues, intermittent, yet never ending. This enclosures has alleviated all of that. The drives simply work, and work well. I broke up the RAID-1 enclosures, and over a period of several weeks, sequentially copied all the material on them onto individual drives installed in this enclosure: a kind of extended bucket brigade process. The drives originated mostly as bare drives I already had in use as RAID pairs. As a pair of RAID drives would become empty and available, I split them up, reformatted them, and moved them into the 10-bay enclosure. What about RAID? Well, Windows does a decent job of handling RAID in software. If you think about it, all RAID is actually in software, just some of that software is installed as firmware in hardware. So far, I haven't rebuilt any of the four RAID-1 groups I had before, opting, for now, to manage mirroring and backup manually across the drives in the enclosure. If and when that becomes too unwieldy, I'll move back to RAID-1 pairs, but software-based, on drives in the enclosure. To sum up moving my drives into this enclosure has been a rigorous but welcome project. It has resulted in fewer duplicate management issues, hugely increased efficiency, and much improved reliability. I am delighted with the Sabrent 10-bay enclosure. ## Features - RELIABLE MULTI-DRIVE ACCESS: A dedicated ASMedia ASM1351 controller for each of the four bays gives every drive its own stable, independent connection. For the most reliable link, connect the dock to your computer with a USB-C to USB-C connection. - FOUR 3.5" BAYS, 10Gbps USB-C: Direct-attached storage for up to four 3.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs (up to 80TB, 4 x 20TB) over one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port. Backward compatible with USB 3.0/2.0. - TRAY-LESS HOT-SWAP WITH SECURITY: Tool-free drive insertion; on/off switch and activity LED per bay, a locking key, and a Kensington slot. - ALUMINUM & METAL BUILD WITH ACTIVE COOLING: Durable aluminum-and-metal housing with a 92mm fan for safe 24/7 operation, powered by an auto-switching 100-240V external adapter for worldwide use. - DIRECT-ATTACHED STORAGE, NOT RAID: Each drive mounts individually (JBOD-style), not hardware RAID. Works with Windows, macOS, and Linux. 1-year warranty (extendable to 2 years with registration). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Y3WDHLD | | Best Sellers Rank | #12 in Hard Drive Docking Stations #69 in Enclosures | | Brand | SABRENT | | Built-In Media | Auto-Switching AC-DC power adapter: 100~240VAC Input., Locking Key., Power Cable., USB Type-C to Type-A cable, Type-A to Type-C adapter. | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Most USB Compatible Devices | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 3,265 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 10 gigabits_per_second | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840025227262 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 inches | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB Type C | | Hardware Platform | Linux, Mac, Windows | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 9.1"L x 5.8"W x 5.9"H | | Item Type Name | Docking Station | | Item Weight | 9 pounds | | Manufacturer | SABRENT | | Material | Aluminum | | Memory Storage Capacity | 100 TB | | Mfr Part Number | DS-SC4B | | Model Number | DS-SC4B | | Product Dimensions | 9.1"L x 5.8"W x 5.9"H | | Supported Devices Quantity | 4 | | UPC | 840025227262 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SABRENT - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB Type C - **Hardware Platform:** Linux, Mac, Windows - **Product Dimensions:** 9.1"L x 5.8"W x 5.9"H ## Images ![- 4-Bay USB-C 10Gbps Hard Drive Enclosure, Docking Station (DS-SC4B) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WeUMX5FVL.jpg) ![- 4-Bay USB-C 10Gbps Hard Drive Enclosure, Docking Station (DS-SC4B) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fflTbb-cL.jpg) ![- 4-Bay USB-C 10Gbps Hard Drive Enclosure, Docking Station (DS-SC4B) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NLKqcJxWL.jpg) ![- 4-Bay USB-C 10Gbps Hard Drive Enclosure, Docking Station (DS-SC4B) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qI2mkDgBL.jpg) ![- 4-Bay USB-C 10Gbps Hard Drive Enclosure, Docking Station (DS-SC4B) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Eq8uBOceL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this docking station support RAID?** A: No β€” it’s direct-attached storage (JBOD-style).

I purchased this because I needed an easy-to-use external storage device capable of handling both 3.5" spinning platter HDDs and 2.5" SSD drives. The 2.5" drives need a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, which can be had for $7 to $20-ish depending on the materials used. I'm a hobbyist photographer and I wanted an easy way to share digital images between macOS and Win10 computers. This completely fits the bill. Here's what I love about this device: - It is absolutely built like a tank - all metal, heavy, great construction - small footprint - it's roughly the size of a small toaster - no crazy or irritating drive brackets needed - you just pop open the drawer, slide the drive in, and close the door - viola! All set to use - individual power buttons! This is huge. I can load up the device with five separate drives, and select which ones I want to be active - under macOS or Windows 10, the drives are automatically detected when powered up, and it's easy to eject / unmount them when done and shut power off to the drive - the USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection provides full drive speed for HDD and SATA3 SSD drives - access is just as fast as connecting the drives directly to the SATA connectors on the motherboard - the unit also provides a USB-C connector on the back of the unit, so it's possible to attach a second device if needed All in all, I'd recommend this external enclosure without hesitation. Granted, It's a bit on the pricey side and the small, single drive external USB enclosures are much less expensive. Also, given the size and weight, it's definitely designed to be a desktop unit - you're not going to throw this in your laptop bag or take it on a flight with you. There are much better options if that's what your need is. Keep in mind that this the connection speed for USB 3.2 Gen 2 is a maximum of 10 Gbps, or 1250 MB/s, which is absolutely more than enough for SATA3 drives. This speed is ample for digital photography needs. I've used the lastest versions of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, ON1 Photo Raw, and the DxO NiK Collection apps without hiccup. If you're a videographer, however, this likely will not give you the speed you'll need, particularly if you're shooting in large format (e.g., 4K or greater) and/or RAW formats. In this case, a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 type drive would be a far better choice. If you're on the macOS platform, your iMac or Macbook should support these connections if you're using anything reasonably current. If you're on the PC platorm under Windows 10 or 11 and a PC builder, then your choices are a bit more constrained - Asrock has licensed Thunderbolt from Intel and several of their motherboards support TB 3 or TB 4. Alternatively, some Gigabyte MB's have a TB 3 header, which can connect to their PCIe expansion card ($89 as of the time of this review). A quick search on the internet should give you an idea of what your options are. BTW, this drive enclosure does NOT support hardware RAID. If that's what you need, you'll have to look elsewhere. Under both macOS and Windows 10, there are software RAID-ish options available - I haven't had the need or desire to attempt these, but in theory, they are possible. Good luck and hope this helps! ## Frequently Bought Together - SABRENT USB 3.2 4 Bay 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Tray Less Docking Station (DS-SC4B) - SABRENT 2.5” SSD & SATA Hard Drive to Desktop 3.5” SATA Bay Converter Mounting Kit (BK-PCBS) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/170780734-4-bay-usb-c-10gbps-hard-drive-enclosure-docking-station](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/170780734-4-bay-usb-c-10gbps-hard-drive-enclosure-docking-station) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
