Excellent hardware, however a removable cooling system when all four slots are occupied by 3.5" HDDs over a long period of time. I cobbled together a slot to put a Corsair 120mm/120mm 3200 rpm fan on top of it.
I had read the reviews warning of damaged discs.
I had thought that if the problem was common, there would be more negative reviews and so I bought anyway!
15 days of use.
I was delighted with the way it worked at first but I have just crashed 3 disks: trees destroyed.
The data is only recoverable with software.
chkdsk only saved one of the 3 disks.
It looks like the box didn't like to make big transfers from one disk to another in its own slots!
I simply wanted to copy a 2TB disk to another 4TB one several times.
The first transfers (several GB at a time) went well but not the last one!
I bought several Icy Box products because at first I was very satisfied with this brand. But with time these products are unreliable or disastrous. I bought, several years ago this docking station of Icy Box and I am disappointed and I do not use it any more. Because this docking station for a while worked very well but at one point it flashed some hard drives, including new ones. There is a problem with this brand because they have installed a form of time delay which means that if you leave the disk without using a file continuously for about 20 minutes then it blocks access. After losing several data disks I decided not to use them anymore. Fortunately I still have my duplicate disks.
