I have a Lenovo TS140 Thinkserver with an SSD for the OS and 4 SATA drives installed. I also used to use a Mediasonic 4-bay enclosure but drives kept dropping offline whenever Stablebit Scanner was trying to scan them. Rebooting was the only fix to get the drives recognized again by Windows. I got tired of dealing with that and picked up a Terramaster D6-320 6-bay enclosure (USB 3.2 Gen 2). Moved the drives over and things seemed good for a few months. Then one of the drive slots seemed to flake out. I had empty slots so moved the drives around and was good. Then a couple of months ago Stablebit starting reporting failing sectors on one of the drives. About 1 TB worth of data was corrupted. I recovered data from the cloud and now today another drive in there is spewing bad sectors again. I feel like this enclosure is killing my drives and need to replace it.

TL;DR - I need a recommendation for a good 4 or 6 bay enclosure that works with Windows please. Thanks so much for your help!
