## Overview

The SY-MRA25052 is a premium full-metal 8-bay 2.5" HDD/SSD mobile rack designed for professional-grade storage expansion. It fits eight SATA or SAS drives into just two 5.25" bays, supports 7-15mm drive thickness, and features tray-less hot-swap access with mechanical locks. Dual 50mm fans ensure optimal cooling, while miniSAS interfaces deliver high-speed connectivity. Ideal for servers and high-performance PCs, it combines space-saving design with robust durability and efficient thermal management.

## Description

The SY-MRA25052 has been designed to maximize space use by allowing up to eight 2.5” SATA III hard drives, while only consuming two 5.25” device bays. The enclosure only requires two SATA power connections to power up the eight 2.5” hard drives. With the mobile rack system, simply hit the eject button to unlock the access door, allowing the drive to be pulled out of the computer without having to dismount the drive. The rear of the SY-MRA25052 uses two miniSAS connections to connect all eight SATA drives. It also has two 50mm cooling fans to pull cool Air from the front ventilation slots over the drives and directs the warm Air out through the rear ventilation slots. (Minisas to port SATA cable not included)

Review: Great 8 x 2.5" hard drive cage with MiniSAS connectors - I purchased this to put in my watercooled home file server for the drives I was using in a Dell PE R710, which was just using way too much power. It fits well in 2 x 5.25" bays, hooked up seamlessly to my PERC H710 controller and recognized my existing arrays flawlessly. It's a very sturdy build even though it looks like they simply put 2 of the 4 x 2.5" cages together (smart designing!). It houses 6 x 5TB Seagate drives and a 400 GB SSD for the OS - the drives are kept cool and the lights on the front indicate activity as well as online status. I haven't had any fail, so I'm not sure if that is indicated by the LEDs. I had a minor issue where the screws were too short, and I'm not sure if it is from short screws or my cases 5.25 cage being bent from using a different 5 x 3.5" cage, but using a longer screw to initially tighten the connection fixed that problem.
Review: Massive problems using SAS drives, only SATA worked properly. - Edit: Finally received contact back from manufacturer. Even though it does not mention it here or on their website, this product is only for SAS 6Gb/s, NOT 12Gb/s drives. DO NOT BUY THIS FOR 12Gb/s DISKS! I spent so long diagnosing this issues and waiting for responses, I'm now out the cost of this enclosure the cables I bought just for this. And now I need to buy another enclosure from a different vendor and wait a while for delivery This 8 bay SAS/SATA dock is not working with SAS drives, ONLY SATA. Conencted to LSI 9400-16i and a Lenovo 430-16i, same issues, multiple cables, tried 9 different SAS disks (5x HDDs, 4x SDDs), all throw constant errors in TrueNAS. There is one slot on it that mostly works well but 7 of them throw constant errors no matter the disk type. Some freeze the HBA in the BIOS, some error immediately upon boot, some error once you begin writing/reading. The disks read perfectly on both HBAs when connected directly. Sadly didn't discover that the enclosure was at fault until ONE DAY past return window. Reached out to manufacturer and the support I've received so far is... less than great. I gave them full details of my testing and data and they told me this couldn't cause issue and asked for my logs. Silence since, even though I sent them the logs moments after that email. Wish I could get a refund but I'm not a three days past return window and the box is gone. I mistakenly tossed the box after pre-testing it before deployment in a test system. But my flaw was I tested only with SATA drives and they worked perfectly (My SAS drives were still in shipment). Feel free to look up these errors I included but they indicate connectivity issues (again, I tried more than one cable).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 8 x 2.5" hard drive cage with MiniSAS connectors

### ⭐ Massive problems using SAS drives, only SATA worked properly.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good overall but caddies are not equal in size, nedd to toss them between slots to find the match
*by A***R on October 18, 2024*

This is about 8-bay enclosure. pros: - all metal - easy to hook up to mini SAS on controller like Perc H200 - works with 15mm enterprise SAS disks, no even screws needed for 15mm due to tight fit - power 1-2-3 pins are not in use which allows new SAS drives that may not start because of these pins powered cons: - not very precise made, if you will toss the caddies between slots you may find that some of slot-caddy pairs are just nearly impossible to push inside, so better to find right combo and just mark them 1-2-3..8 wil I return it? probably no.... will I recommend it? only if you have no another choice within your price range.
