Review: CENMATE 4 Bay Hard Drive RAID Enclosure with Cooling Fan for 2.5/3.5" SATA HDD/SSD - I've ordered 4 of these now and 3 of them have been tested and here are the findings. 1.) No issues with 20TB shucked WD Easystore drives from Bestbuy. 2.) Fan is a little loud but honestly you need to keep your drives cool this is an acceptable compromise. 3.) The fan should be much larger if anything even mounted outside. Have not attempted a teardown to see if I can upgrade the fansize or change anything yet as it runs fine. 4.) Raid 5 with 4 20TB WD drives clocks at 150 MBps which is more than good enough for a media server. The RAID selection is like this: Switching between any raids and wiping out the data on the drives there is a "Normal" mode and then the other modes such as RAID 0 1 3 5... 1.) Default Normal Mode You get the box, you put the drives in and if you leave it in the default normal mode the drives will all mount normally as 4 drives. If you use ESATA you will need a port multiplier compatible card. 2.) RAID 5 You turn off the device set the dip switch to RAID 5 then hold the reset button for 10 seconds before letting go, the drives will auto be formatted to RAID 5 config and a header will be written on to the drives for this mode. 3.) Switching from RAID 5 to any other mode you need to go back to normal mode so it can erase the RAID headers on the drives. [BUG with Hard Disk Sentinel Pro] Now for the longest time I couldn't figure out why the drives won't mount properly it turns out once you've jumped to a RAID mode and go back to normal Hard Disk Sentinel Pro goes nuts and causes the drives to keep unmounting. You can manually erase each drive then all 4 will mount again. If you are just going to jump back to RAID 5 for example or another RAID level you can just ignore this weird problem and close Hard Disk Sentinel and all 4 drives should appear again in your diskpart manager. Couple of things I tested and figure I leave here so you don't have to guess: A.) If you leave the drives in while switching modes the drives will be wiped. B.) If you have two RAID sets and you wanna use the same enclosure and swap between the two sets, make sure you're already on the mode they are in before you put them in. So if you are going from normal to RAID 5 for example, LEAVE THE DRIVES OUT when switching modes or they'll get wiped. If this case is already in RAID 5 you can put in the drives before you turn them on, or push them in after you turn it on just make sure you put all drives in before it's ready. Failure to do this will cause a rebuild or a crashed RAID set. C.) The order doesn't matter. I rearranged the 4 drives so they were all in different slots, and it didn't affect the RAID working or the data on them. (WONDERFUL UPGRADE FROM PREVIOUS competitor box) So anyways yes you can buy 1 enclosure and swap multiple RAID sets of drives and leave other ones offline. Rebuild is automatic. If you have a failed drive just pop it out put another one in and the other 3 goes to work right away for RAID 5. Build quality overall is very basic, but the tool-less caddy design is a super quality of life upgrade if you plan to swap sets of disks. This case storage wise handles 20TB so far with no issues. The only remaining test I want to do since the J-Marvell controller might be compatible is try putting a RAID set of drives from my mediasonic ProRAID collection into this case and see if it mounts the datapool correctly. Haven't had a chance to do that yet and would be epic if it was compatible. Definitely recommend this just keep in mind the fan is a bit small and you may want to increase ventilation if you plan to hammer the RAID with I/O all day (get a cheap $5 fan), The case is not 100% silent but no where near the loudness some complain about. Customer service has so far been responsive hopefully never need them. Happy data hoarding!
Review: Great RAID enclosure (not a NAS, just a "box of disks" with RAID). - Easy to use, very quiet RAID enclosure. Multiple RAID options. Easy to configure. Attached via USB to my NAS as "cold" storage for backups. Obviously slower than drives in the array, but for cold storage it works great. NAS identified the drive immediately.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great RAID enclosure (not a NAS, just a "box of disks" with RAID).
*by S***R on December 16, 2025*

Easy to use, very quiet RAID enclosure. Multiple RAID options. Easy to configure. Attached via USB to my NAS as "cold" storage for backups. Obviously slower than drives in the array, but for cold storage it works great. NAS identified the drive immediately.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performs mostly as advertised. The instruction are not clear and it is very noisy.
*by P***L on September 16, 2024*

The unit arrived and was set up within a only a bit of trouble. My drives fit in without the modifications listed on this Amazon page. It took some patience to fit the first drive. Once it was in, the drive was very secure. I suggest you work with the tray without modification to keep the toolless operation. Screws and a driver are included if needed. Once I got it running and visible on my computer I plugged it into the ESATA port on my NAS and it was immediately recognized. This gives me an additional 12TB of space. I am using reconditioned server drives, so redundancy is required. The main problems is the poor manual. It is very small making it hard to read the tiny font and diagrams. Take a photo of the page and read it on your phone. The instructions are insufficient for proper set up. The QR code on the back is labeled "software" but no software is required. Instead the QR code leads to instructions to complete the RAID setup. All that is required is a simple reset procedure but you have to know to do that. Once I did the reset, the device worked just fine. Contrary to the promotions on this Amazon page, is far too noisy to leave in an occupied room. The two inch fan is very loud. Fortunately I have a isolated server space where my NAS is located. Even though it is an attractive price, it far too loud to be not suitable for apartment use. DO NOT buy this for use in your family room for video streaming.
