Original Title: I recently learned that the 3.5" Sabrent hard drive bay I used to format bare drives and backup data on doesn’t work with any other bay, including other Sabrent bays. This means if my bay breaks… I’m SOL for about 30 drives. Advice?

Do you have a recommended bay that you like to use? One that can format a drive and then that drive can be accessed by other enclosures/connections?

These are all video production projects from the past twenty years, I don’t need to build a big array and have it on all the time.
