The good news: it can handle large capacity hard drives. The bad news: not for very long...
And of course, since I tossed the boxing, there is no returning the Sabrent. I therefore spent $23 on a brick, although it won't break me. This case of infant mortality is probably just a fluke, but an annoying one when it happens to you. I should have kept the box a while longer. My bad.
UPDATE 1/2118: To Sabrent's great credit, and this is going back about 2.5 years ago, they stepped in and replaced the enclosure, no charge. I tested it but ran into issues trying to do the above formatting again, and threw it on my junk pile. With hindsight, I'm now realizing that the issue was most likely the hard drive I was using, which I got by ripping open a Western Digital external hard drive and removing it. There's something odd about the firmware in these drives. They're just "not right" when taken out of their manufacturer's shell and fully exposed like this. I think my issue was the hard drive, and NOT Sabrent. Coupled with their excellent customer service, I've now increased the rating to five stars. Because ...
I just bought some 8TB Hitachi hard drives and it was time to format them, again with encryption. These are new, bare hard drives from Amazon, not something I ripped out of an external HD box! Fortunately, I still had the Sabrent enclosure, so I pulled one off the pile, attached the 12V/1.5A power adapter to it, put the 8TB drive in, connected to my Mac Mini, and just like that, the hard drive mounted on the desktop. I formatted it in HFS+, then created a new encrypted disk image, and let it run.
This time, all went well. I discovered that if you open Sierra's Activity Monitor and click on Disk Activity, you get a readout of how fast the data is moving across the interface. I was seeing it move between 110 - 160 MB/sec, averaging about 130 MB/sec. That's not bad at all on my 2012 iMac with a 4-core i7 processor running Sierra (12.6). It's not the fastest i7 there is, so you have to remember that there are calculations that first have to be made before the data can be spit out of the USB3 ports for writing. That takes time to execute, which has to slow transfers down somewhat. USB of any speed never hits its theoretical maximum anyway (4.8Gbps for USB3, or about 600 MB/sec). Considering I was getting only 25 MB/sec with USB2 on this same machine (theoretical maximum speed = 60 MB/sec), actual speeds are less than theoretical speeds by about the same factor for each version of USB. The full 8TB of writing took 17 hours, which averages out to 130 MB/sec, consistent with what I see in Activity Monitor. I would say that's pretty good. I'm happy.
Side note: I got to wondering about Sabrent's advice to run a firmware update. I'm a Mac guy, but I have an old PC running XP. I thought I would take a stab at the upgrade. I downloaded it to the PC, but the update would not run at all. You tell it to RUN the update and nothing happens. My neighbor has a PC running Windows 10, so I took the dock, power supply, and a USB cable to his place. He downloaded the update to his PC, followed the .pdf instructions exactly, the interface presented is NOT what the .pdf shows, but tried running it anyway. Same issue: hit the RUN button and nothing happens. It doesn't freeze or anything like that. It simply does nothing. So much for that!
The key point I'm making is that this same dock that I bought 2.5 years ago (August 2015) easily sees my 8TB drives, runs flawlessly, and runs quite fast, all with no firmware update whatsoever. I don't understand Sabrent's statement that older docks (2.5 years old?) without an update are limited to 4TB. Not mine!
I do not understand why other commenters can't get it to work right. It works perfectly for me.
Considering Sabrent's great customer support, excellent USB3 performance, full support for an 8TB drive, and it's very low price, I gotta give it 5 stars!
UPDATE 1/30/2018: Plugging into two different iMacs running Snow Leopard (10.6.8), neither can see any drive plugged into it. Odd, since at one time it could/did. I don't know what the difference is, but if you're running Snow Leopard, you might consider passing on the Sabrent.
UPDATE 2/12/2018: Okay, so the Sabrent isn't happy with Snow Leopard. Separately, I plugged the Sabrent into my 2012 Mac Mini w/i7 processor and running Sierra (12.6). I plugged a second, different external USB3 drive enclosure to another port, loaded a pair of 8TB X300 Toshiba hard drives in each, and proceeded to move data from one drive to the other. Measured speed is about 130 MB/sec, which is about max transfer rates that these hard drives can deliver. No complaints!
This one is simple, screw-less, sleek, and is USB 3 which ensures decent speed. My last HD "bay" was in fact simple to use but left the drive itself exposed; this one is just as fast to use but completely encloses the drive itself. Someone really thought through the engineering and it absolutely shows.

2. 'Free Acronis Drive Image Cloning Software' (blue sticker) was no where to be found.
No screws or other fixings, just slide the drive into the lay-flat cradle, plug in the supplied plug-top PSU and use the supplied USB-3.0 (A) > USB 3.0 (B) Superspeed cable, and you're away. [Shame it's not supplied with a USB 3.1 Type C connector, but I'm sure it will be in time.]
The cover for the drive is hinged, so it's permanently attached to the base cradle.
One thing that's missed off the Specs here on Amazon is that this docking station is limited to handling HDDs of "up to 4TB capacity". So if you're looking to attach a somewhat larger capacity drive, then I'm afraid this device isn't for you. [I found this out the hard way. I hope I save you the trouble!]
In function, it works very well, and it does have a fast USB interface, allowing you to backup your internal HDD at up to 5Gbps if you're using a USB 3.0 connection to your PC.
Die Dockingstation selbst war in einer sehr soliden Verpackung,, beim Auspacken fiel mir aber auf, dass die Dockingstation selbst aus ziemlich wackligen Plastik bestand,
Eine Festplatte wird beim Einbau durch ein "Schaumstoffkeil" fixiert.
Leider findet dort kein USB-C-Anschluss Verwendung, am Gehäuse ist nur ein USB 3.0 B-Stecker, eigentlich veraltet,
Das Kabel des externen Netzteil ist ausreichend lang. Schön auch der Ein-/Ausschalter am Gehäuse.
Ich habe den Test mit einer meiner alten 8TB-3,5"-Platten gemacht.
Wie die meisten hier festgestellt haben, wurde die Platte auch bei mir als GPT mit 16 GB erkannt.
Das liegt daran, das die Platte ( hier bei mir ) intern als GPT-Platte in einem Windows-Rechner als (GPT-formatierte ) Platte Verwendung fand.
Diese sogenannten Schutzpartitionen werden dann nicht mehr als eigenständige externe Platte erkannt.
Um sie auszulesen, muss (!) man die Platte wieder in einem Windowsrechner mit internen SATA-Anschluss anhängen und ggf. an einer anderen Platte sichern.
Danach muss man erst eine GPT-Partition anlegen und löschen. Die Platte ist dann auch extern wieder änderbar.
Man kann die Platte dann extern z.B. mit einem Hilfsprogramm wie Partition Magic 8.1 oder 9.0 (freie Version) als externe MBR-Partition anlegen. (zur Not auch wieder als GPT, aber dann muss die Platte extern in der Dockingstation sein) .
Damit wurden die 8TB bei mir in der Dockingstation erkannt und waren auch les- und beschreibbar.
Wieder dieser umständlichen Prozedur gibts bei mir nur 4 Sterne, obwohl das hier eindeutig an MS-Windows (10 und größer) liegt.
Die Schreib- und Lesegeschwindigkeit der Platte in der Dockingstation unterscheidet sich an einem USB 3.0 Anschluss ( an einem X570-Board) nicht von einem internen Anschluss.
Die Geschwindigkeit ist also sehr gut.
Im Dauerbetrieb wird das Gehäuse allerdings ordentlich warm wegen der fehlenden Belüftungsschlitze.
Auch deswegen nur 4 Sterne.
Aber wer die oben beschriebenen Macken bewältigt, hat ein gutes Gehäuse, was auch mit Platten > 4TB zurecht kommt.
Insofern empfehlenswert.
Wegen dem etwas klapprigen Plastiks werde ich sie aber nur im Notfall "mit durch die Gegend schleppen."
Wer die Rezension hilfreich findet, kann ja auch dann "hilfreich" klicken. Mache ich auch bei anderen, wenn ich es gut finde. Sonst fehlt auch auch der Anreiz, so viel zu schreiben ;-) . Und ist doch eine nette Belohnung für jeden, der sich die Mühe macht...
