Review on πŸ’Ύ ORICO 5 Bay USB 3.0 to SATA Chia Hard Drive Enclosure | 80TB (5 x 16TB) | RAID Support-9558RU3 by Ronald Noel

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Should have listened - it's manure. . .

This is typical of the 9528U3 with two *NOT* RAID bays. . . .Well built and works great with a drive. Add a second one and it will take the first offline for a short time and then cause the second drive to be either invisible or not visible. Cold booting the chassis and a host system (Dish Hopper-3, based on Linux) running two drives in separate chassis on a hub with the same port made no difference. One each was fine, one in this case and one in the original was found, but both are no good for it. Hours of searching reveals a totally incompetent online presence for Orinco so I won't waste my time fighting it - I'll be right back. Went back to the original cases and all is well again. . .Interestingly, the main problem I've seen with them is slow rotation and the inability to reverse rotation, and that *NOT* was seen here - it worked fine. Unrolled as intended and returned on access (was actually hoping to use this feature). Again, I don't run WhinDuhs, so expect far fewer problems than those who do. . .

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Poor
