🔥 Syba 5 Bay Tool Less Tray Hot Swappable External USB 3.0 Enclosure for SATA III RAID HDD - Windows MacOS Compatible Review

Purchased to power a 5 x 4TB RAID 5 array (3 x WD RED drives and 2 x Seagate drives). After setup and formatting, the usable space was 14903.88 GB. I use this for home video, movies, audio etc and am currently in the process of transferring data to an array at 130MB/s. I tried a RAID 5 array on my PC just for fun (no hardware support for it) and got a solid 5kb/s, so a very significant difference from a HW array. Also, the software does all the setup, DIP switches can actually be ignored…

My Dyconn Quartz 5 Bay RAID Enclosure died. Probable cause of some of the power outages we've had lately. No complaints, the machine has worked day after day for about seven years. But when I went to repair/replace, I found that repair options were scarce and expensive. And the device was discontinued some time ago. All the sellers I checked were sold out. So I decided to replace this Syba module by simply formatting and reusing the same drives. When I put the drives in (each in the same bay as

I bought two of these devices. One replaced five 3TB WD Red drives pulled from a Sans Digital 5-bay hardware raid, and all ended up with data intact. I formatted the data anyway and copied it back. Lots of videos. It went from 150Mbps to 200Mbps according to Windows 10's file transfer. Another replaced the four-bay Sans Digital Tower, and all the data from the WD Red 5TB drives popped up right away. So I like that it's interchangeable with my Sans Digital towers. Both units are compatible with…

Last week I gave up 7+ external drives everywhere. It was actually a power outage that caused 5 drives to fail. Let's make it worse! I'm an IT professional with over 40 years of computer experience and I say ALWAYS BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP your data and I couldn't follow my word. Well! I'm also an audio engineer and I record about 24 to 32 tracks. 24 concerts over the summer in the last 10 years. Luckily they were on discs that didn't die. So I needed a backup plan for about 30TB of original…

This is a great price. As with other reviews here, I am blown away by the build quality and inclusions of this product. It comes with a few dozen small screws, which you only need when installing 2.5-inch drives. And it comes with cables for eSATA and USB 3.0, and those aren't the usual short cables that come with drives - there's a bit of room here for gaming. I haven't measured them but they are good. The POWER CORD is only a few meters long, but it is a standard 3-prong IEC power cord! You…
