yessss I didn't realise Sabrent was competing in this category of product. Happy to see
Thank you so much!
Best joggling video on the YT. :) 😂❤
Do you have online tutorial or video on what happens if one drive fails in a Raid1 configuration? ie: how do I know if one drive fails? What steps to take if a drive fails. If I replace the failed drive, how to make the unit copy the good drive over and not format/erase the good drive.
Very good Question.Is there any answer for that..?
This is a solid product would love to review it on my channel as I know a lot of my community of content creators could benefit from this for sure! Great video
at 7:55 you show the button being pressed with the power disconnected. The documentation does NOT give clear instructions on how to process the RAID set up - so I don't know if I have a bad system (trying to configure for a new set of HDDs) or if I am doing it wrong.
Please advise or add a new video showing exactly how to set up/clear a configuration.
Very cool! Anyone know if these power on automatically after a power outage? Or do you need to turn them on manually again?
Is it possible to get additional trays that would fit this to allow changing of drives without messing with screws?
Looks great but how about knowing when a hdd from raid config fails? Does it have any software to do that?
Wish you'd done a how to video for setting up in windows and/or mac. Like... I get how I need to set the hardware... but what about formatting? do I need to format the drives somehow before putting them in the system? Can I format them from the system? I'm new to RAID storage so this is all unclear.
Should you use regular 3.5 hard drives, do you use NAS hard drives?
Very informative video. Just wondering how to actually use this on my windows and my mac?
Wow, that thing looks great! I wish it had Ethernet. I have so many units similar to this and keeping connected to DATA while traveling is always an issue!
Thank you! And connect up a USB to Ethernet adapter to the USB-A port on this thing and you are on to a winner 👌😉
@@SabrentUSAOfficial so this has some sort of NAS or operating system software on board? It could be accessible as it’s own device with a PC or MAC?
Yes it’s a hardware RAID not a software RAID so it should be readable on different computers
I am currently using the old Mediasonic 4 bay. I am looking for a new 4 bay enclosure with an SD card reader. Mediasonic have released a new one and is always out of stock. I just purchased an SSD enclosure and so far the speed that I'm getting is great. I am hoping if I purchase this it will give me a great speed. Maybe you can do a follow up video with the Black Magic speed test.
Update: Reading all the comments on verified purchase at Amazon. Most complaints are the fan is too noisy and the USB C not working on Mac Thunderbolts.
I love pretty much everything about this except a) I wish it had a CFExpress type B reader rather than CFast because I don't use CFast and b) a reviewer said the fan is always on full blast and it's loud. For the price those are probably two things I can deal with though
Also it would be amazing if it had a "copy" button to automatically copy data from the front ports onto the drive
Yes, the Cfast is a weakness, I am not sure why they peek it. Very few *new* products use Cfast.
I just setup this docking station and the RAID 1 setup was pretty straight forward. I see my 2 volumes as a single disk however there are these 2 ghost USB Disks left over that I cant seem to remove. I have 2 empty disk that say "Removeable (E:) & (G:) - No Media" in Disk Management. It seems that windows is able to recognize the usb aspect of this device even before the power button is engaged but doesnt recognize the device. How can I remove / clear / fix these? Is it a driver issue?
Hello!
Any idea what's the theoretical speed internet of 2 sata ssds in raid 0?
Thanks!
can you tell me what is the speed transfer, when transfer like 5gb? Thanks
If I set up a raid drive on windows with the enclosure will the drive then work on Mac?
I just bought this and I'm following your directions, but I noticed that after you set the raid dip switches you pressed down the reset button while the device wasn't plugged in. Do I need to plug the device in and power it on prior to pressing resent for 5-7 seconds?
While the presenter is eloquently speaking and product knowledgeable person, this review falls short of knowing about all of the things you need to know and the drive enclosure does have issues. The design of the Sabrent dual drive + RAID is extremely is a good mirror of a LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt which is quite a bit more expensive than the Sabrent solution and is paired with 3.5” Seagate HDDs (LaCie is under the umbrella of Seagate). So in the end, you may be able to save a few dollars in Sabrent.
What things are missing from this presentation is a complete list of formatting. He mentions NTFS and ExFAT; but, neglects to mention that the drives could be formatted as HFS/HFS+ or APFS as well, the latter of which is Apples new standard for the Mac.
The second thing missing is a discussion on what color & states are indicated with the status LEDs. (On/Off/Flashing and Red/Blue). The LaCie actually has a third front panel LED to display power on or off, flashing blue with computer asleep, flashing red for drive issues. And solid red for disk failure. These seem to be partially covered with the Sabrent Drive.
Having two LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt 16Tb RAID drives for over 3 years, I can confidently say that these LaCie drives are the Worst drives I have ever owned in use with a 2018 Mac Mini on Ventura. The status indicators do not work correctly (most of the time they are off) and the Sleep mode does not work correctly. Lastly, the drives have a real nasty habit of disconnecting leading to errors of improperly ejected disks. Why mention the LaCie issues?
Well in reading through the reviews of the Sabrent dock on Amazon and technical forums, the Sabrent solution appears to suffer from the same issues as the LaCie drives. I had thought about replacing my LaCie cabinet with the Sabrent; but, clearly think that would just be another mistake. Also, don’t be fooled with Sabrent’s 4, 5, and 10 HDD solutions. In and of themselves, these are not RAID drives. You need software to operate those in RAD form.
I have always had good luck with Sabrent and LaCie products up until the 2Big HDDs so they have been a grave disappointment. So at this point I would say, BUYER BEWARE!
nice can you make a 4 drive version?
Are you setting this demo raid in "LARGE MODE" with left button up and right button down? I'd like to use RAID ONE, I assumed both disc should be in UP MODE, but user guide shows "CLEAR MODE" as having both switches up. Why is that?
I know development cycles are long, so it's not a critique. Even so almost nothing is using the Cfast sandart. Some exceptions are the Hasselblad H (the X uses excess) and some old Cinema cameras (for example the new Canon EOS C500 is dual cfexpreCFexpressss). Could you build the next generation with CFexpress instead? thanks.
I've formatted 2 drives as exfat (using on mac pc) set my raid to #1 ... pressed SET button, got message saying drive needs to be formatted. No blue button lit up after i pressed SET. Anyone can offer advice? thanks
does it use UASP protocol?
Linux compatibility? When available in Australia please?
Definitely made me nervous how close the pcb board of each hard drive sat to the metal trays. I taped my trays to prevent any accidental contact
This is amazing, is it possible to add HDDs or SSDs containing data already? Say I bring one SSD from a different computer with its own files.
Or has to be only blank/wiped discs the first time?
Does the unite Support Linux?
I got this unit a week ago. Really like it so far. FYI, I think you quoted the port speeds incorrect. You stated the rear usb-c 3.2 gen2 port speed at 1,000 Mbps which would only be 1Gbps. I think 3.2 gen 2 is actually much more. Like 10 Gbps, or 10,000 Mbps.
That’s great news! And I quoted it correctly, it’s 1000 MBps not 1000Mbps, here’s a video that might help clear up the confusion:

@@SabrentUSAOfficial yes, you are correct. I keep forgetting about bits vs bytes.
Greetings @TinCupChef and @SabrentUSAOfficial, the device seems great. I have a question about connection though. I have a few laptops that have classic usb headers and no usb-c, can i connect this device to them by using usb-a to usb-c cable? I know the transfer speeds will be lower, but that doesn't matter so much, main thing is the drives are detected?
@MEDO11 Mine is hooked up usbC to usbA, all good.
This thing is from a reputable brand, has a raid controller and it's less expensive than stuff having not have a raid controller and sometimes not even a fan controller. Yes, this is not thunderbolt but for two drives you don't need it. If they continue to create such products some popular raid manufacturers for the mac will be dead in no time. The only thing Sabrent is missing is high-end thunderbolt raids, the years, and the marketing cloud.
Is this a joke? Or a toy? 2-drive bays?? And as a "content creator", I'm supposed to be "excited" about that?? Good lord, anyone doing video is using 8-16 bay systems.
