Review on 💾 ORICO 4 Bay USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Enclosure - Supports 64TB, 2.5/3.5 inch HDD SSD, Built-in 150W Power/Dual Chip for Chia Farming, Enterprise Data Storage Backup, Server Expansion (No RAID) by Marc Oner

I bought the Orico 35 Series 4-bay case and expected the same quality and performance as the 35 Series 5-bay case I already own. There are two main differences between them: first, the aluminum body of the four-piece module is 1mm thinner than that of the five-piece module (3mm vs. 4mm). The second problematic difference is the 4-bay device's 10-minute auto-sleep function, which is not affected by the HDD and USB power settings in Windows. To prevent the 4-bay unit from stopping the drives after 10 minutes of inactivity, I had to install an application that would write a small text file to the drives every 9 minutes to keep them active. To do this, I use an app by Vovsoft called Prevent Disk Hibernation, which is free software I downloaded from the Majorgeeks website. Minus one star because third party software is required to function properly.
