This thing is fast!! *by A***R on August 23, 2019* First thing, setup was easy, came with raid controller, cable to connect controller to rack mount unit (cable only 3 to 4 ft long), and rackmount drive bay unit. Mounted easily into my rack. Drives were a little tight when adding them in but got them all locked in the system. Created 2 Raid 60 drives within the unit, partitioned and formatted and when I went to copy an 80gb file, it took roughly a minute and was getting around 700 to 800 MB/s. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good option for a single PS 8x 2.5" drive array *by J***H on January 19, 2019* Works as it should. Would like a 2nd power supply option, but can't complain. Other than it being a bit expensive per drive slot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid option for external SSD RAID expansion with the right controller. *by A***Y on February 19, 2016* A decent case. Used it to expand storage in an aging dell server. Filled it with 4 SSD drives and configured raid 10. had to by a cable separately because the cable in the box did not match.Instructions also mention a redundant power supply option, could not find that anywhere.I emailed the seller trying to get some info never got a response.For those 2 reasons I took off a star --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/31202675-elitestor-rack-mount-for-high-capacity-storage-solution-st-es104x12g](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/31202675-elitestor-rack-mount-for-high-capacity-storage-solution-st-es104x12g) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
