The power for the hooked up drives is provided via the USB port, which is a very practical solution. The second important thing to mention is the use of ASMedia 1153E controller with the support of UASP protocol enabling the higher data exchange speeds for the SSD type drives.

Moreover, the device offers the backward compatibility with the USB 2.0, which permits its connection to the older PCs. The first notable feature of the device is the support of the sleep mode on MiniPro CB3-BK single-hard-drive enclosure, entering which makes it possible for the device to cut down the power consumption of the hard drive connected by decreasing its spindle rotation speed. 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. The power for the station drives is supplied by a separate power adapter supporting the 100-240V input voltage. 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).

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. 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. The cooling system of this external hard drive enclosure includes a built-in temperature sensor that accurately monitors the installed drives temperature. 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.
