Verified purchase - review from a price comparison website
I have bought several external HDD boxes (iTec and the like), Axagon for the first time. As far as I can compare, this one seems to be the most sophisticated so far. Nicely packed, after unpacking sensibly laid out components for assembly. External aluminium body is well processed, in the package, apart from the wiring, screws for anchoring the HDD with a screwdriver. I can't rate the instructions, I haven't used them. Once assembled, the screws on the bottom of the box are covered with a black foam sticker to cover them. The sticker lifts the box above the desktop, lets air underneath and reduces HDD vibration. A 20 TB HDD has been implemented in the box, which runs without any problems after mapping. Read or write status under control thanks to the blue LED indicator.
ATTENTION and it is not stated anywhere, the disk only runs if it is connected to a running device (PC, laptop, NAS, etc.), otherwise after pressing the power button the disk starts for 5-7 seconds and then turns off again, so if you connect the box with the disk to the NAS, it is necessary that the NAS is started first, the same applies to PC, laptop, etc. In addition to the USB-A > USB-C cable, the package also includes a USB-A to USB-C reduction, a power cable, a total of 10x screws, a screwdriver, instructions and also, as already mentioned here, two adhesive rubber strips, serving as pads for the box, which should be glued over the holes where the screws are, so it's really a question of how long such rubber strips last. The NAS backs up at 50-55 MB/s! Overall, I don't have a bad impression of it, but the speed and the disc attachment are probably the biggest negatives.
material
easy to use
plastic frame
short USB cable + power cable
no LEDs or display
the discs are inserted into the plastic frame, it takes feeling when clicking into the ports, so that the plastic frame does not break, then you insert the frame into the aluminum box, be careful to lie only in one direction, because the frame has such a small protrusion and in the box there is a cutout for it, almost when clicking it happs a little, but nothing that could not survive, then the disc through the box and frame screwed 4x screws
ATTENTION and it is not stated anywhere, the disk only runs if it is connected to a running device (PC, laptop, NAS, etc.), otherwise after pressing the power button the disk starts for 5-7 seconds and then turns off again, so if you connect the disk box to the NAS, it is necessary that the NAS is started first, the same applies to PC, laptop, etc.
for example speed - when connected to Synology DS920+, backups run at 50-55 MB/s, so nothing spectacular
I was not as impressed with Axagon's new model as I was with its previous model AXAGON EE35-XA3 ALINE.
I'd recommend buying this previous model - I've had several of them pass through my hands and not only does it look great, it's also completely hassle-free and cheaper.
USB-C connector
Nice design
The disc mount is designed differently than is common with similar boxes. The disc is mounted with screws through the box at the bottom and then this is taped over with a rubber washer. Of course, this is more of a one-time solution, since when you need to open the box/change the disc, you have to peel off these rubber pads (and this can damage them)
Probably some BUG in the firmware, I have a problem after turning on the box that my PC does not display the disks and I have to disconnect and reconnect the data cable. With the older AXAGON EE35-XA3 ALINE boxes I did not experience this
Don't be fooled by the picture where only the data cable is nicely connected. There is no PowerDelivery support here and the drive cannot be powered via the USB-C data cable. An external adapter is required.
