Sabrent 5bay DS-SC5B external 3.2 USB enclosure maximum watts per drive bay


  • What is the maximum watt output per drive bay in the Sabrenet 5bay external 3.2 usb enclosure DS-SC5B. I have Seagate Mach2 hard disk drives that require more power than standard drives at 8 watts at idle and 13.5 watts per drive at full load. Around double a seagate baracuda and 50% more than a standard enterprise drive. Wondering if I will have enough power per bay. Will probably only have two mach2 drives in the enclosure with the other three bays ocupied by drives with more average hdd power draw. What is the maximum healthy Watt power draw per individual drive bay and also total for the entire enclosure as a whole, without causing power loss or having the enclosure or individual drives drop out or disconect due to insuficient power.
