We offer a wide range of hard drive enclosures for Mac systems including SSD, HDD, RAID, and more external hard drive enclosures. Find yours here! Mediasonic ProBox is an enclosure for hard drives, which relates to docking stations and is designed for a stationary use. The docking station structure is made of durable plastic that provides a sufficient ruggedness of the station and is an indicator of the multiple HDD enclosure’s long service life. The internal connection interface offers the support of SATA I/II/III types, showing an excellent versatility of this 4-hard disk enclosure. The Mediasonic docking station supports the mounting of 3.5-inch hard drives and has USB 3.0 and eSATA as external interfaces offering you a choice between the two options of the 4-drive enclosure connection to your personal computer. The technical features of the ProBox HF2-SU3S2 docking station show that it stands out of the peers. This distinctiveness is primarily due to the availability of four drive slots in the docking station. This model supports the drives with a capacity of up to 8TB each that in total makes it possible to connect up to 32TB of storage space to your PC/laptop - one of the highest values for the class. The rate of the data transfer via USB 3.0 connector is 5.0 Gbps, while via the eSATA - 6.0 Gbps, thus empowering you to quickly exchange the large data volumes. The excellent compatibility of this docking station-type HDD enclosure with the popular operating systems is also worth mentioning: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, as well as with Mac OS 10.3 or newer. One of the main features of Mediasonic ProBox docking station is the cooling system, which maintains an optimal temperature of the hard drives during the operation. The cooling system of this external hard drive enclosure includes a built-in temperature sensor that accurately monitors the installed drives temperature. The cooling system of this HDD enclosure model has two modes, automatic and manual, therefore you can either set the fan speed (three levels) manually or let the system do it automatically. Another important feature of this Mediasonic hard disk drive enclosure is the availability of the button, by pressing which you can quickly switch between the USB 3.0 and eSATA external interfaces. Please, note: 1) the SATA port of the PC/laptop motherboard, which you connect the docking station to must support the Port Multiplier function for your PC to recognize multiple hard drives installed in the HDD enclosure; 2) you can use only one interface at a time (either USB 3.0 or eSATA). The power for the station drives is supplied by a separate power adapter supporting the 100-240V input voltage. Despite such a large number of the mountable hard drives, this SATA hard drive enclosure has quite a compact size - 8.5 x 5 x 6.5 inches, thereby it can be conveniently placed on a computer desk. Hello, I was the happy owner of an iMac Intel Core Duo machine (early 2006) until the logic board failed and left me very resentful of Apple I must say (only 3 and a half years of use, and I had Applecare until April this year!). When I recovered from the upset I decided to accept the offer from a friend to buy his 'spare' Mac Mini and a fab Formac monitor. Now, the Mac Mini is about 3 years old (I haven't got the serial number handy) and works fine. After the iMac let-down I felt lucky that my hard drive was unaffected as I hadn't backed up any data (shame on me, I know). ![]() So what I want to do is use my iMac hardrive as an external hard drive for my Mac Mini, to get my old data and use as extra storage space as well I suppose. My question is, does anyone know of an enclosure they would happily recommend? The choice out there is quite confusing. I know I need a 3.5' enclosure but not sure what else I should consider. USB + firewire connection would be best I imagine. And something that would match the Mac aesthetics and the Mac Mini shape while we're at it. Also, I would be running Time Machine -would I need an extra storage device or is there a way to combine the external hard drive with a back up device? Any help or suggestion would be gratefully received. Apple Footer • This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
