Review: Low Cost NAS -- A Great Way of Reusing Old Hard Drives! - After desktop computers are upgraded, old hard drives with lower capacity are moved out the computer case and replaced with higher capacity ones. What can we do with those old hard drives? They can be put into single external USB drive enclosures but doing so can be tedious and messy if there are more than 2 hard drives. The Mediasonic HF2-SU3S2 4 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure solved this problem by holding 4 hard drives in a single enclosure that is not much larger than 4 separate drive enclosures with active cooling stacked. It is essentially a 4-drive enclosure with a 4-port SATA/USB hub in one nice looking box. The first refurbished unit worked perfectly right out of the box. I liked it so much so I ordered a second one. Well the second one did not work. It powered down after less a minute being turned on. desertcart sent me the replacement unit. It worked perfectly like the first one. As it turned out, the power adapter from the second unit was defective as using it on the third unit also caused it to power off after less a minute. Eight old SATA hard drives went into two Mediasonic enclosures (3TB x2, 2TB x 4, and 1.5TB x 2), 10TB and 7TB, for a total storage of 17TB! When combined with a BMAX MiniPC ($179.99), this combo became a great low cost NAS. The MiniPC is equipped with a 4 core processor, 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD, running Windows 10 Pro. It has 3 USB 3.0 ports, one of them being the USB-C type, two USB 2.0 ports, 2 HDMI ports, as well as a Gigabit ethernet port. The MiniPC can also be used an HTPC. Since Windows 10 Pro has built-in support for Storage Spaces, a newer version of Windows software based RAID, each 4 hard drives in a single enclosure are configured as one storage pool with a single drive letter. Eight hard drives become two logical drives, D and E. In theory, all 8 drives can be put into a single storage pool but if one box goes bad, the whole pool is dead. The total cost is $360 for this equivalent 8 bay NAS ($180 for the MiniPC and $180 for two enclosures). The performance is really good considering the age of those SATA drives. I cannot think there is a better priced NAS unit that can compete with this!
Review: Very pleased; Backups go very smoothly - I bought the refurbished one to save ~$10, and so far it has worked perfectly. Pros: - Very solidly built. Mainly aluminum, no major components made of plastic. - Extremely Easy Setup. I got 4 drives of varying size and manufacture running in less than 5 minutes. - Relatively Quiet. The sturdy enclosure minimizes a lot of the actual HDD noise, however the fan is noticeable. I'll likely replace it with a Noctua at a later date. - External Power Supply. Very important, as it's far easier to replace if it ever dies. - Effective Cooling. I was worried about this, as some of my older drives would often reach 50 degrees in other enclosures. However, my hottest drive never reached above 45 in the bottom slot which, while still toasty isn't unsafe. - Safe Enclosure Shutdown. When you detach the drives through Windows, the enclosure will stay on long enough to safely shut down all drives before powering down, which avoids unnecessary wear on the drives from an immediate shutdown. - Controller does not throttle. I'm not sure which one they use, but even when syncing 2 drives (~150MB/s) and downloading to another (~12MB/s), there was no throttling or crashing. Cons: - The LED's are VERY VERY bright, and blue. There are no options to disable them. I placed a small amount of electrical tape over them, which reduced most of the brightness. Keep in mind, though, these are very distracting and will likely keep you up at night when doing backups. - The bottom HDD slot is a pain to insert the drive into. You really need to jiggle it before it finds the connector. - You cannot individually control each drive, either physically or through software. All inserted drives will remain powered on while the enclosure is active. This isn't a huge issue, as they do stay cool, but I would've liked the ability to shut down some of my 7,200RPM drives to reduce noise.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I have two use all the bay were can I leave some empty**
A: You can put drives in any bay. When I have less then 4 drives (or 8 in the larger enclosure), I leave the topmost bay(s) open for better air circulation. I notice that the topmost drive gets the warmest, obviously because heat rises.

**Q: Can u start only with 2 hard disks and add more later without having to format or erase data??**
A: yes.  since they showup individualy.                i dont use mirroring or spanning drives,  i just add drives 1 at a time. to expand storage.

**Q: Can I put my 2 8tb and 2 16tb in this enclosure?**
A: I'm sure you could, I have 2 14tb and a 8tb in it and they all work fine

**Q: can you mix manufacurer and size of hard drives**
A: Yes, you can mix sizes and manf

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this box is fantastic......
*by R***0 on December 23, 2018*

holds 4 3.5 drives, i have 2 filled with 8tb drives, i do not raid them, you could easily with the new Windows Storage capability... disks easy in easy out... quiet flawless usb 3.0 connection, i feed my boxes, 3 of them, from a Aukey 13 port hub.. all works well, keep your USB cables under 3 feet or so, else you will begin to run into problems.. these data rates are very demanding on timing, long cables will effect timing, keep your cables SHORT. i have actually 4 of these boxes, the oldest is more than 5 years old.... nice venting....clean it every 2 years or so..... nice unit,, consolidates your 3.5 old or new disks.... each disk in the box adds a drive letter. i use the computer for FEA simulations and the like... the performance of my SATA connected internal drives compared to that through the USB 3 connection to this box for my use is essentially the same... the performance and reliability of the connection is outstanding, you forget those drives are in the box.. they map easily to other network computers... i like them, they have solved a problem for me..
