Hold four SATA drives and ports through one USB 3.0 port. Works flawlessly. Well built, nice magnetic top. The cooling fan is helpful, and you can switch it on/off independently. I read complaints about fan noise -- I don't think its too bad at all. Just a slight white noise, almost like one of those white noise sleeping machines. About 55db. Makes me feel like a nap. Have dropped 5 different SATA HDs in there of different ages and sizes, current to 10+ years old, 240GB to 1 TB, all recognized and working flawlessly. Sometime a little tricky getting odd-thickness (too thick or thin) drives to seat, just be cognizant. Great value too. Clone drives, or group them to increase storage size. I'm storing old movie clips on them. Review: This is an EXCELLENT quality product! .. - The title doesn't even cover it! This product was beautifully and thoughtfully packaged and shipped. It is beautiful, rugged and performs as advertised and exceeded my expectations. I put 4 (2) TB drives in it, spinning seagate drives and realized when you turn the unit on, the fan doesn't automatically come on, - you will need to press the button for the fan. What I do is, turn the fan on first, then power on the drives. The fan isn't hardly noticeable or beyond what you would expect for a small desk fan and you definitely need to run the fan, - it makes a difference. Without the fan the drives were hot to the touch. After running all four drives on a several hour copy job on my Mac, the drives were cool to the touch when I detached them. I got the non-raid version which was the best version. At USB 3.0 speeds files copied quicker from the finder from Mac to drive or drive to drive then using Stellar Clone Drive or another program. So, I recommend if you don't want to run the unit with the fun, you just leave the top off. If the drives are enclosed and the top on, you gotta run the fan. The unit is solid, and not flimsy, just beautiful. Like a tiny mainframe core on your desktop, - humming away softly. I didn't test the hot-swappable feature as I've learned with Mac OS that it doesn't handle dismounting from ANY multiple drive dock with out ejecting them all, - as this is an issue with the USB BUS and the OS, not the dock so I didn't even bother attempting that in the middle of a data copy. If I could give this review 20 stars, I would. It delivered beautifully on my iMac running El Capitan. The price as well.. was an EXCELLENT investment for the quality and functionality of this product, - once you start moving data around in the Terabytes you need reliability and stability in a product to protect your information that matters most. ## Features - High Capacity and Broad Compatibility: Supports up to 4x 16TB 2.5” SATA SSDs or HDDs (maximum 12.5mm thickness).

Most of the other answers are incomplete or non-answers. Time has passed... I'll post my review soon, but this device works very well and you'll gets up to about 400MB/s in and out of the unit (depending on the choice of RAID/protection level in Storage Spaces). Using a better(?) volume/pool manager, you may get even more performance. If it were a 10gbps Gen 2 chipset, I'd buy 10 of them. At startup, your first impression may be that it looks like and sounds like a small humidifier or air freshener. :) If they would release a version with auto fan speed control, then they'd hit a home run with this. **Q: Hello community! What is the maximum height (or thickness) of the hard drive that the slot can take in?** A: The slots are 13 mm wide, But I widened the slots to 15 mm & used a 4 TB 2.5 inch drive, 15 mm thick. This works after making slots wider. BUT this voids the warranty. I bought unit, used for months, then adapted it to fit. **Q: Can anyone verify the max depth drives that fit? some of the 3tb-4tb 2.5" drives are over the typical 7-9mm but can reach 15mm thick. will these fit?** A: Measuring the slots on mine indicates it should fit up to a 12.5mm drive. It will not fit 15mm thick drives. **Q: What is the maximum capacity HDD can you use?** A: I have four Samsung 870QVO drives installed - two 2TB and two 4TB. The unit works flawlessly in this configuration. I do concur with previous poster - you must directly connect this unit to the PC - do not use a USB hub in between the PC and the unit. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little unit for multiple SATA drives to USB 3. *by J***S on April 14, 2025* Great little unit.

They were plugged into a powered USB hub. I was concerned about how warm they were. I bought the Sabrent 4 bay docking station because it had a built in fan. It works fine. However it has separate push button switches for power and fan. They are the push on push off type. I power my system from a plug strip with a master switch. It powers the PC, monitor printer-scanner, sound bar and docking station. When I turn on the system everything except the docking station comes on. I have to remember to push the buttons to turn on the docking station. Toggle or rocker switches would be more convenient. That is my only complaint about it. ## Frequently Bought Together - SABRENT USB 3.0 4 Bay 2.5” Hard Drive/SSD Docking Station with Fan (DS-4SSD) - SABRENT SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA I/II/III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer (EC-SSHD) - Crucial BX500 2TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540MB/s - CT2000BX500SSD1, Solid State Hard Drive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/44433702-sabrent-usb-3-0-4-bay-2-5in-sata-ssd](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/44433702-sabrent-usb-3-0-4-bay-2-5in-sata-ssd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
