This item LOOKS great. I own both the 5-bay and 8-bay units. Unfortunately - other than looks - that is about the extent of the high points. Functionality-wise, the drives I have are constantly overheating in both the 5-bay and 8-bay units. They go into emergency low-power mode to prevent thermal damage. Airflow is almost non-existent. Only way I was able to keep from losing physical drives is by removing the cover and using a secondary fan. I am not sure who engineered this thing, but the way the vents are designed it was obvious they prioritized looks over actual technical functionality. If you truly rely on and value the retention of your data, I can't really recommend this product for long-term use. Not unless you keep it in a room with the AC running at 65F or something. Even then it will run really warm without an external fan.
