## Description

desertcart.com: Mediasonic PROBOX 4 Bay DAS 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure – USB 3.0 eSATA Support 30TB HDD (HF2-SU3S3) : Electronics

Review: Quick, easy, and effective - Replaced an old Proliant Micro server (NxxL 1st gen) that would keep losing cheap Flex ATX power supplies every year or two. Was looking for a replacement that also had 4 bays, low power consumption and no need for RAID to drive a headless Linux media NAS with several Docker apps installed. Paired it with an older EliteDesk USFF which was already doing other related duties. Fit and finish is fantastic, better than expected. It's still slightly on the cheesy side and the lights are excessively bright (I'd recommend some black tinting tape). Drive installation was very easy. Much smaller than I expected. Options are dead simple and you basically know how to operate it from the small labelled picture on the folded quick start guide. Fans are quiet, even on max, although I'm not yet sure how well they are cooling the drives. Auto-sleep function also works well (I wouldn't use the auto-off as it fully powers down and doesn't power back up). I have been using it in USB mode since I am using a tiny, slim desktop with no expansion options and it has worked well so far. Drives were detected right away. I have not yet gained S.M.A.R.T. visibility but hope to at least get a basic "healthy" status. It's not technically supported (Linux that is) so not something I'd ding it for since I can read :-) Really nice unit so far. If all goes well, may pickup the 8-bay version for my backups. MAY 2025 UPDATE - Still running strong, no new fan noise/vibration, good disk health, never once had to reset due to disk communication loss. Have had power loss in my home where I had to manually turn the enclosure back on, but basically non-issue. Maybe people have problems with the USB 3.2 version and/or RAID? Was happy to see Mediasonic back in stock so immediately ordered the 8-bay eSATA/USB 3.0 when it became available. Both connection options exceed the network connectivity to the attached PC so no need for 3.2
Review: Exactly what I wanted! - This mediasonic probox 4 bay enclosure is exactly what I needed! I have two 14TB Seagate exos X16 enterprise HDDs in it hooked up to my PC using eSATA VIA a 10Gtek eSATA to PCie card (also purchased here on desertcart) and it works great! I did install and update the 10Gtek driver before I hooked the mediasonic enclosure to my computer. The drivers for the 10Gtek card is no where to be found if you search for 10Gtek drives BUT this card is based on the ASMedia ASM1061 chip so I went to ASMedias websites and found the driver there. Once that driver was installed, I hooked the mediasonic probox enclosure up and turned it on and windows 11 recognized both my drives with no issues! For me, It was easy to open and install the drives. Yes, as mentioned by others here, the front blue lights are bright when its on but it doesn't bother me because I have it under my desk where its not really visible and plus I don't leave it on all the time. I only turn it on when I have to make a backup of something. I have the fan on high because fan noise doesn't bother me, plus all I'll about keeping components as cool as possible. On high, yes it is very noticeable but on medium, it is barely audible to me from about 3 feet away where it sits. And speaking cooling, it does a good job of keeping my drives cool. At Idle, according to crystaldiskinfo, they sit at about 34c-36c. I copied 4 TB of data to both drives and even copying for 10+ hours straight, neither drive got above 45C. I should mention I copied data to one drive at a time and not simultaneously so I can't speak to how the the temps would be doing more then one at time. Copy time was as I expected for 7200RPM drives in the range of 60MB/s to 220MB/s with an average of about 80MBs-110MB/s. I had a lot of very small files in the transfer so speeds where up and down. I am also using a 6FT eSATA cable and no issues with that length. I have not used USB nor do I plan on it so I can't speak to how that performs but I'm sure its good. I had read that eSATA can be a little more reliable and stable when transferring large amounts of data at a time so since I had planned on moving 4+ TB at a time, I specially went with eSATA. So far, I'm more then pleased with purchasing the mediasonic probox enclosure and will definitely purchase another one if I ever need another in the future!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Amazon has 2 boxes from this manufacturer. The  HFR2-SU3S2 ProRaid ,, and the  HFR2-SU3S2  drive enclosure. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?**
A: There are two versions of the HFR2-SU3S2: ProRaid and ProBox. The former supports RAID in hardware while the latter does not. The ProRaid supports pretty much every form of RAID I can think of, including 0 (two types), 1, 3, 5, and 10. However, the throughput in RAID mode is 3 Gbps while non-RAID can run as fast as (if your disks can keep up) 6 Gbps. Some people prefer to have their operating system implement RAID, some prefer hardware RAID. With the HFR2-SU3S2, you can buy the product that meets your needs.

**Q: Anyone has tested this unit with 6 TB hard drives?**
A: I'm running 4 X 8TB drives with no problems.

**Q: Can this device be hooked up directly to a Router instead of a PC?**
A: No This is not a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, unless your router has a USB Port for external storage this will not work.

**Q: What are the differences between the hf2-su31c and hf7-su31c models ? and is there proraid version of this ? (one that supports raid).**
A: Hi,
The only difference is the design of the exterior case.  The main board and chipset are the same.  This is NOT a raid version.  The Raid version will be available in two month.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ HF2-SU3S3 - Blinding lights, nice dependable performance..
*by B***D on August 5, 2024*

**This is for the HF2-SU3S3 4-bay (Non-RAID) Mediasonic PROBOX enclosure -- I received a "Revision 4" unit in July 2024** (FOLLOW-UP Aug 31, 2025 - Nothing has changed. Still running flawlessly over a year later.) Yes, the strip of blue LED HDD activity indicators is extremely bright. The enclosure's status indicators (fan speed, power sync mode, interface type) don't make a whole lot of sense unless you squint really hard to see the microscopic text next to the symbols. The USB vs. eSATA "Interface" button and the Power "Sync" button operate on 3-second long-presses. The "Fan" speed button operates on normal presses. This unit does a good job as a USB 3.0 JBOD drive enclosure (I have not tested eSATA connectivity). SMART data is accessible (I'm using OpenMediaVault on Debian OS). Each drive's correct Model, Vendor, and Serial Number appear in the OS. I have not noticed any drives dropping their connection. For a 4-bay enclosure, the USB 3.0 HDD drive speeds are mostly indistinguishable from having the drives mounted internally -- especially if you're using them on a NAS over a Gigabit network like I am. I'm running a bunch of HGST Ultrastar HC520 12TB 7200rpm drives in this unit. They're technically not supported, but work just fine with a strip of Kapton tape over the HDD Power Disable pin (Pin 3. But you can actually cover Pins 1-3 to make it easier, since Pins 1-2 are not used. Search online for a video.). With the fan pegged on High and the enclosure's glossy cosmetic front door attached, these HC520 drives can get pretty toasty during a Long SMART test -- topping out around 52 degrees Celsius. (NOTE: These are Enterprise drives and run about 10 degrees hotter than consumer drives at baseline.) Take the cosmetic front door off, and the temps quickly drop by 6-10 degrees Celsius. The fan is audible from about 6 feet away on High; and mostly inaudible on the two slower speeds. I use the sleep-sync power-sync mode ("orange light"), since the full-power-off power-sync mode ("blue light") does not automatically power the unit back on after a power cycle. After a power grid outage, you will need to manually power the unit back on -- it does not auto-power-on when power is restored.
