2.5” SSD/HDD Docking Station: The Sabrent 5-Bay USB-C Docking Station for 2.5” SATA HDDs and SSDs (DS-5R15) is designed to easily dock from one to five 2.5” drives, each up to 15mm in height. These drives can be used simultaneously and independently over a convenient USB-C connection with the drives kept comfortably cool.
Powered USB-C: The Docking Station can transfer at up to 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2×1) via the included USB-C cable. In order to make sure this connection is stable and reliable, also included is a 12V/3A power adapter with an international plug set for use in the EU and UK. Add more storage without concern of power limitations.
Hot-Swappable, Tool-Free, PnP: We want you to have the easiest experience possible so we have designed this docking station to be hot-swappable, tool-free, and plug & play. It’s quick to add or remove your 2.5” SATA SSDs and HDDs as needed without reliance on limited or crowded internal ports. It’s storage management, simplified.
Cool And Clear: With up to five drives loaded, sustained operation can produce excessive heat – fortunately, we have built-in active cooling with an 80mm fan. We know you sometimes need things quiet so this fan is switchable, too. LEDs, including individual lights for each bay, will keep you aware of drive, dock, and fan status.
It’s Sabrent: We’ve designed and tested this docking station for use on Windows, macOS, and Linux PCs, and it will also work on many other devices.
Customers say
Customers find the hard drive docking station easy to use and set up, with one customer noting it works well with Raspberry Pi. The device receives positive feedback for its quality and functionality, though opinions about speed and durability are mixed – some find it performs well while others report poor performance, and while some praise its compact design, others mention compatibility issues with 5TB drives. Customers disagree on the value for money, and several report issues with the noisy fan.

Everything included, worked first time, amazingly well designed and neat product. GREAT price!!
I’ve got 4 SSD drives in, it works perfectly first time, the neat magnetic coupling on the fan unit makes it easily removeable, and all the cables included meqant it only took 5 minutes to have it running perfectly on my Windows 10 PC. GREAT price, GREAT product!

Ideal storage solution.
Good ssd/hdd 4 way hub. Plug & play worked immediately with no problems. Follow the user manual & plug it directly into laptop/pc.

Skip this in favour of something more reliable
So I’ve been using this with four 2TB SSD’s in a RAID Z1 (aka RAID 5) for 15 months now via Proxmox.TL:DR Unfortunately I cannot recommend it for this use case as all 4 slots share the same SATA controller which is an unreliable bottleneck. Even ChatGPT said that this is a flaw and I should instead purchase a quality powered USB hub and 4 quality USB individual single slot docks as they would each have their own SATA controller. My Dell Optiplex 5080 Micro Form Factor thin client(which I got for free) I’m using as my server does not have enough SATA ports for these drives.Also the fan is super loud and performs horribly.If you need stone solid reliability, pick an option with stable power and each drive having it’s own dedicated SATA controller. if you just need something clean, tidy and just want to be able to work on your drives by keeping this on your desk, I guess it would be ok then.

It works well, in most regards but wow that fan is loud!
Want to give this more stars overall, but loaded up with some SSDs, switched on and connected to the computer.Then I turned the fan on… and quickly off again. Going to need to find somewhere other than my desk to run this thing – even at full fan speeds my computer is quieter than this box of disks.The description on the box mentions that disks are hot swappable – if I unplug one drive the whole device is unloaded which suggests otherwise. Not sure if it is related yet but have one disk that repeatedly disappears from my desktop – not something that happened in my previous solution.

Makkelijk te openen en vervolgens stop je er disks in. Ik heb er alleen ssd’s ingestopt met verschillende formaten, die ergens waren overgebleven. Op deze wijze hebben ze nog een tweede leven. Werkt prima.
