The Sabrent USB SSD docking station is currently on sale for $80, providing a practical solution for those struggling with limited storage on devices like the iMac. Filmmakers often deal with large file sizes, especially when working in 4K ProRes formats, which can exceed 100GB for a single video. The 4-bay dock supports drives up to 16TB, allowing users to expand storage capabilities. It also features a built-in fan for cooling, which is vital during intense read/write operations, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for the drives.
This little piece of tech has really saved me from having to delete files I'd rather keep, just to make room for new video clips.
The docking station has a fan to keep those drives cooler. This is especially important when working with video, as the read/write speeds will be pushed to their limits.
I can keep slapping in drives (it supports up to 16TB hard drives) to ensure I always have space.
There's not much to say about this simple bit of plastic and metal. It comes in two pieces: the bottom holds the drives, and the top has the fan.
