Bought to keep the disk usage during the evolution of a network nas, I put the red in Western digital 3.5 "and everything works. For formatting I went through seven and two disk rotate very well save it's great. It can be put on and removed the hot disk, but it's better to cut through the button on the back of extinction. In usb3 flow are good, and USB2 I tested; 1HDD 22-26 mb / s write, with 2hdd 11-12 mb / s per drive when the two operate simultaneously or 16 mb / s on one and the other on hold. I tested the heat shrinkage and the commissioning of a second blank disc, the driver turns off and if you are copying files that just copy plant without corrupting the data. Please note this is a fairly bulky and cables are not very long, for food that goes well but must usb3 40 cm, so everything depends on the chosen location. The disc is in the open air, it is a normal dock, but I find that the product width provides good ventilation. By cons it is better not to shake it off, but many discs must not take dream, there is a small game and in case of some violent shock that they are driven by a third, so in normal use it resists but pay attention to the location of the dock. Conclusion: ok for my use in dock backup and data replication. and very good price / quality / design
Edit; joubliai once the HDD configured as seven ntfs linux detects as usb hdd so you could not eject hot issue on Linux too.
