Product Overview
Need More Space?
This external SINGLE enclosure offers space for a total of ten SATA I/II/III HDDs. It consists mainly of steel and is therefore stable and dissipates heat particularly well. The cooling of the drives is supported by one big 140 mm fan on the rear and corresponding air intakes inside the doors of the drive bays at the front. The enclosure's doors are individual lockable.
The LEDs of the IB-3810U3 continuously inform you about the operation and disk usage. As a huge data storage, this SINGLE system can present his full functionality and the external USB 3.0 interface with UASP support enables the possibility to use HDDs without any size limitation.
Comfortable Setup
The capabilities of the IB-3810U3 include various convenient functions. For example the toolless HDD installation, the energy-saving standby mode, the HotSwap ability, Plug & Play and support for both Windows and MAC systems
Trust Is Good, Control Is Better
The locks on each HDD tray offer security and protection from accidental removal of the hard drives. They may instead be switched on and off individually with the power buttons on each tray. The LEDs displays additionally show the status of each HDD.
If Things Are Heating Up
The enclosure is made mostly of steel and is therefore robust and dissipates heat particularly well. The cooling of the drives in heavy operation is furthermore guaranteed by a large 140 mm fan on the back.

Good use for spare drives.
Good item for any spare hard drives that you have, but you cannot set up any raid arrays.

10 Bay Icy Box - Good, when it works
I have populated this 10 Bay Icy Box with 7 various sized HDDs of varying makes and models. First issue is getting the PC to initialise and recognise the HDD contents. I have tried numerous start-up routines, from all on to trying each HDD one by one. So far, I haven't found the key; just perseverance.
When it works, it is a great piece of kit. File transfer is as fast as the particular HDD will allow.
In short, this 10 Bay Icy Box saves a huge amount of cables and power supplies, if you have a disparate group of HDDs. Recommended.

Mostly reliable, good value
I was looking for a simple JBOD hub to use for archiving and backup purposes with my Mac Mini, and after having tried several other models—all of which I returned for the same reason (drives ejecting randomly)—I finally settled on this unit. I liked it so much I ended up buying two!
PROS
• High number of disk bays (10).
• Individual on/off power button for each bay.
• Differently from lots of other similar units, this one has never triggered an unwanted random drive ejection.
• Good performance via USB3.
CONS
• Has occasionally crashed the system, forcing it to restart. I don't know what causes this to happen exactly, but it has only happened twice. I'd say 95% of the time it works flawlessly.
• Cooling fan is somewhat noisy.

It's not RAID
Should have read the capabilities. You get 10 individual drives. As it's USB connected, you can't even span or extend across multiple disks. :(
It does, however perform very well and I have no complaints.
