Review: Seagate IronWolf NAD drive 22TB works pretty well. - The company said this enclosure supports the drives up to 20TB. This is incorrect, it does support a 22TB Seagate IronWolf NAS drive, which is maximum size available nowadays, that I just installed and formatted inside enclosure. The speed from my NAS to this enclosure/drive is 255MB/sec on large files, which is not fantastic, but this is USB, so what could we expect? Also I had to format it as exFAT to make it compatible across different systems, not EXT3 or EXT4. That probably affected the speed pushing it down. The NAS has eSATA port, but I don't want to shut the NAS down just to connect to this port and I'm not sure how the NAS will react to this enclosure, since these 2 existing ports are designed for their brand DX enclosures/extenders, so the cable can be their own standard and not exactly eSATA. But I will verify that with Synology support. The main idea was to use this enclosure with a huge hard drive as a detachable backup drive and it works this way. I saw some customer's complaints about heat issues. Definitely a closed enclosure with no fan is not the best idea, but having a fan with magnetic field near hard drive would be a serious catch. On the other hand, the design could be better, the hard drive surface could be connected to the enclosure surface to provide a passive cooling, it would be enough here. A sliding in/out design will prevent me from adding a cooling pad to this enclosure, it won't work since both surfaces of the pad need to be carefully attached. I will keep that in mind, probably it will be an issue in my case too with this enormously huge hard drive, if so I will port an update to this review later. But so far so good, the surface of the enclosure is barely noticeable warmer in just one spot, comparing to the rest of the enclosure. It seems like a good sign. As promised - updating several days later. The enclosure is running non-stop with a 22TB drive inside for several days, ran a really huge backup with millions of files - no complaints, works pretty well. During the top load the temperature of the enclosure was slightly higher, than the room, while during the idle time the temperature of the enclosure is almost the same as the room temperature - no complaints here. I will definitely need to check the SATA port one day in the future, but I guess it will work, because the company has mentioned in the manual what port it is and how it is comparable with other SATA like ports, used in NAS. Very good point for the ESATA port usage. The average speed through the USB port is around 270-290 MB/sec, which is more or less ok for an external drive file backup.
Review: Very easy and quick to install. Little bulky. - I was looking to add an SSD to my Reolink NVR, and wanted to buy a Samsung 870 SSD. The Reolink NVR requires an eSATA connection, so that was a necessity to have. The downside to the Reolink NVR is the eSATA port does not provide enough juice to power the SSD. That meant I also needed a power source for the SSD. This box met all of the requirements I was needing. It was really easy to install the SSD inside the box. Once you put the 2 screws in to secure it down, put the box back together and plug it in. I kinda wish they made one just for 2.5" drives as the box is really large for what it is holding inside. They could have done a smaller design, imo. I don't think the instructions said it, but the black screws are for the 2.5" drives. Don't try to use the silver screws for a 2.5" drive. Overall, I like it. It's working quite well for what I am using it for. I highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid product so far
*by R***X on July 18, 2024*

I put in a 14TB WD Purple drive and am using it as an external eSATA drive for Synology NAS to act as storage for Surveillance Station set up with 6 cameras. I have a couple of fans blowing on it so there is no issue with temperature; the drive reports around 41C. This isn't really part of the review, but might help someone: Surveillance Station does not normally allow for an external drive to be used as storage, but does allow "remote" storage. This is really a terrible oversight on Synology's part and I was very disappointed to learn about this only after purchasing the enclosure. If you search online you will find some workarounds that people did, but I didn't like any of them so I came up with my own. I created a remote storage link that actually points to the local external drive. Now Synology won't let you specify the same IP/hostname as the NAS itself for a remote folder, so you have to create a new DNS entry in your local network environment that simply points to the same device. For example my NAS hostname is simply diskstation, so I added another DNS entry called diskstation_ext that points to the same IP as diskstation. Also, for whatever reason you can only setup a CIFS remote share through "Recording" > "Archive Settings" > "Mount Remote Storage". So what I did after in File Station was to delete the remote folder created by Surveillance Station, and re-create it using the NFS protocol, using the same folder name. You'll want to check the "Mount automatically on startup" option in File Station, and UNCHECK it in Surveillance Station. I don't know if it makes a difference using NFS vs CIFS in this scenario, but NFS is generally considered a more performant protocol. So far, this setup seems stable and persists after reboots without issue.
