Eight-bay SATA enclosure with 128 TB total capacity

The MAIWO K8AB is an eight-bay aluminium dock that accepts 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs. Each bay supports up to 16 TB, giving a maximum raw capacity of 128 TB across the unit. A USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C link with UASP delivers a theoretical 10 Gbps bandwidth to the host. The enclosure ships with both Type-C-to-Type-A and Type-C-to-Type-C cables, plus a 400 W power supply, 32 mounting screws for 2.5-inch drives and a screwdriver.

Suited to archivists and small offices needing

This enclosure suits users who want to consolidate many SATA drives behind a single high-speed USB connection, such as media archivists, backup administrators or small-office servers. The built-in smart temperature system runs a variable-speed fan that activates at 45 °C and ramps up at 48 °C, while a finger-touch LCD shows per-drive temperature and runtime. Buyers who need RAID redundancy, hardware encryption or direct PCIe attachment will not find those features here.

Single Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 2 link

The sole host interface is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port operating at up to 10 Gbps with UASP acceleration. All eight SATA III drives share this single upstream connection, so sustained throughput is limited by the 10 Gbps link rather than by individual drive speed. Verify that the host system provides a USB 3.2 Gen 2 or faster Type-C port to reach the rated bandwidth.
