This duality provides flexibility in drive selection, allowing users to opt for high-performance SAS drives or more economical SATA drives, depending on their needs.
Performance: Equipped with a Mini-SAS HD interface, it offers data transfer speeds of up to 12 Gbps. This high speed is crucial for applications that require fast and efficient access to large data, such as high-resolution video editing and large database management. The JBOD configuration allows each disk in the enclosure to be independently recognised by the operating system. This facilitates data management and access, as each disk can be used and configured separately, offering greater flexibility in storage organisation.
Ease of use: The hard drives in the Stardom SOHOTANK ST4U6B RAID enclosure are hot-swappable, which means they can be replaced or added without shutting down the system. This feature minimises downtime and improves operational efficiency, allowing for uninterrupted upgrades and maintenance. In addition, the device includes LED indicators for each drive bay, showing the operational status and activity of each drive. This facilitates performance monitoring and troubleshooting, allowing users to quickly identify any drive failure or need for attention.
Robust and compact design: Manufactured from high quality materials, the ST4U6B ensures durability and protection for installed hard drives. Its robust design protects the drives from physical damage and ensures a long service life of the device. In addition, this device is equipped with effective cooling systems, the enclosure keeps the hard disks at an optimal operating temperature. This not only prolongs the service life of the drives, but also ensures consistent and reliable performance, preventing overheating that could cause system failures.
The SOHOTANK ST4-6U-B is ideal for professionals who work with large files, such as HD videos or complex audio projects, and require fast and reliable access to their data. In addition, with the right resources, it can be integrated into a Network Attached Storage (NAS) configuration providing shared storage. This is especially useful in offices and studios that need to share large volumes of data among multiple users. It is also an excellent solution for long-term backup and archival storage. Its high capacity and reliability ensure that critical data is protected and available when needed.
In conclusion, the Stardom SOHOTANK ST4U6B stands out as a versatile and powerful storage solution, perfect for professional environments that cannot compromise on storage speed and reliability. With its support for SAS and SATA disks, hot-swappability and its high-speed Mini-SAS HD interface, the ST4U6B offers an unrivalled combination of performance and flexibility.

What is the Stardom SOHOTANK ST4U6B, and what is its main advantage?
The SOHOTANK ST4U6B is a four-bay storage enclosure designed to offer a high-capacity and high-performance solution. Its main advantage lies in its versatility, as it supports both 12 Gbps SAS and 6 Gbps SATA drives. This allows the user to choose between high-performance disks (SAS) or more affordable options (SATA) for their projects.
What does it mean that it operates in "JBOD" mode, and how is it different from RAID?
JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) means that each hard drive is managed individually, as an independent unit. Unlike RAID configurations, which combine multiple disks to improve speed or redundancy, JBOD mode allows the user to use each disk at its original capacity and speed. This provides great flexibility to manage files separately without the complexity of a RAID setup.
What connection interface does it use, and what speeds can I expect?
The SOHOTANK ST4U6B connects to the computer via a mini-SAS SFF-8644 interface. This interface is compatible with both 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps SAS connections, enabling very fast data transfers, ideal for 4K and 8K video editing workflows. The actual speed will depend on the speed of the installed drives (up to 12 Gbps for SAS and 6 Gbps for SATA) and the SAS HBA (Host Bus Adapter) or controller card used in the computer.
What types of hard drives are compatible with this enclosure?
The ST4U6B is compatible with both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch hard drives and SSDs. The main advantage is its ability to accept both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) drives. This duality makes it extremely versatile, as users can mix and match technologies to suit their performance and budget needs.
Are the hard drives "hot-swappable"?
Yes, the disk trays are hot-swappable, which means they can be inserted or removed from the enclosure without needing to power down the system. This is especially useful for replacing a failed drive or for quickly and safely swapping disks between different projects.
What are the features of the monitoring system?
The enclosure has LED indicators on the front panel that show the status of each drive individually. It also incorporates a MCU environmental monitoring system and an enhanced tray lock mechanism, ensuring that the drives are securely held and allowing the user to monitor the system's status, including temperature and drive health, at a glance.
Is any special software required to use the SOHOTANK ST4U6B?
No, since it operates in JBOD mode, no specific RAID management software is needed. The enclosure behaves as if four individual drives were connected to the computer. The operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) will recognize each disk separately, allowing the user to manage and format each drive as they prefer.
What kind of cable is needed to connect it to my computer?
A Mini-SAS SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable is required to connect the enclosure to a SAS controller or HBA card in your computer. This type of cable and the card are not included, so they are essential accessories for operation.
What are the advantages of an aluminum enclosure?
The aluminum chassis not only provides a robust and lightweight construction that protects the hard drives but also acts as a very effective heat sink. Combined with its efficient heat dissipation mechanism and a low-noise fan, the aluminum chassis helps keep the internal drive temperature at optimal levels, which extends their lifespan and ensures stable performance.
What is the target audience for this product?
The Stardom SOHOTANK ST4U6B is ideal for professionals and post-production studios that need large storage capacity and flexibility. It is the perfect solution for workflows involving high-resolution video editing (4K/8K), professional photography, and massive data files. Its compatibility with both SAS and SATA drives makes it versatile enough to adapt to any budget and performance need.
