Review: Excellent SATA dock - I waited for a long time for this to go on sale. I bought one immediately when it finally did. It's pretty sleek looking, it has individual on/off switches for each drive, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the cooling fans only turn on then the drives are switched on, so you don't need to switch the fans off separately when you shut down the drives. StarTech makes good stuff, I've bought other docks and adapters from them before and they always last for years without breaking.
Review: The "JAWS" of HDD docks: Swim your drives at your peril! - I bought this unit to manage a group of 20 Seagate NAS HDD's. These drives were several years old and none of them ever exhibited any signs of malfunction... until they met JAWS (this dock). From the outset, this device was problematic. Mounting drives was quease-inducing to watch in Windows Explorer, each drive would mount, unmount, mount, unmount, multiple times, before finally coming to rest, mounted. And you don't dare power each drive on simultaneously, that drove my PC bonkers. Power one drive, wait until it mounts, then power the next. Then, there's the dreaded Slot #3 and what I'll call the Multiple Session Of Doom. HDD's inserted in Slot #3 emit a different mechanical sound than inserted in Slots 1, 2 and/or 4. I noted this from the get-go and discussed it with Star Tech support, which cumulated in an onerous RMA procedure that I abandoned and returned the unit to desertcart for a replacement. SAME problem in the replacement unit. And this is where, in hindsight, I should have stopped, but like a moron, I pressed on to Doom. My only excuse: I have owned many other ST HDD docks and never had a problem... but I should have paid more attention to the sounds of portent emanating from this one. When I say "multiple session", that's defined by inserting/powering/mounting an HDD, then unpowering/removing that HDD, then inserting another HDD into the same slot and repeating the procedure, without restarting the PC. That, combined with the Slot #3 issue, was the portent of Doom: A second HDD inserted in Slot #3 exhibited a change in noise; now it sounded like a grinding noise coming from the drive. And then the $300 Seagate NAS 8TB drive that had never exhibited a problem in any other dock or any of the other three slots of this device, went *poof*. DOOM: Slot #3, a.k.a. JAWS, ate my drive, completely boned, unrecoverable. Luckily, and that's only marginal luck, I lost only the drive, not the data, as I had it backed up to an identical drive. And back this Shredder Of HDD's goes, once again. I have replaced it with an OWC unit , which has only two slots, but it's fast and there are no ping-pong drive-mounting anomalies exhibited, works like a charm. My advice regarding this Star Tech unit: Avoid it like you would a shark in the water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It solved my problem.
*by M***E on August 3, 2023*

I built my Windows 10 computer many years ago and it had many disk drives. The motherboard was not Win 11 compatable.; it died after the last major update and I could not get it to work again. I was not ready to build another computer. I had another much newer Dell computer but the old drives could not be installed internally. I already had StarTech 1 drive model which I bought to erase and reformat old disks for my NAS so I decided to buy this 4 drive version. I can say that I am happy I did, it works perfectly. I can now access any of the old disks with the StarTech. My only suggestion it that it should automatically shut off when I shut down the Dell, other than that, It's just what I wanted.
