💾 High-Performance Oyen Digital Mobius Pro 5C 5-Bay USB-C External Drive Enclosure (3N5-C-M): Efficient Storage Solution for Data Backup and Transfer Review

Update November 28, 2020: This isn't the perfect case I was hoping for. In addition to the noise issue, which I'll address below, it has a heating issue. When multiple drives are running at the same time, they get very hot. Too high a temperature shortens the life of the discs. When I transfer a lot of data between drives, I keep the small door open. If there were other good and better cases that would protect drives from excessive heat and vibration and control fan noise, I would downgrade my…

I was looking for an enclosure that would support more than 5 hard drives and allow me to access them as separate drives on an old Mac mini. I was initially very concerned about USB performance since the Mac mini I was using didn't have USB 3.0. I looked at Thunderbolt 2, but there were a few cases that kept getting more expensive. Thinking I could use an Apple USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter, I contacted support to check it out and they pretty quickly confirmed that it wouldn't work. They turned…

Very satisfied. It's quiet and very stable. And what I like the most is that it supports SATA 3.3 hard drives like WD80EZAZ where many will have problem with 3.3V pin. But for this case you only need to connect WD80EZAZ, it's not at all Modification to 3.3V pin required! Just plug in and get started! Big! But first, make sure you actually put them in the slot. At first my WD80EZAZ wouldn't turn on because it wasn't really connected to the mains. When inserting a hard drive into this enclosure…

I've bought several of these caddies that mount your rims outboard and vertically and they all let me down very quickly. In the end I resigned myself to having to spend a little more to get it right than I was hoping for, so I bought it. This is a very high quality construction and *just works*. I have a 54 in four bays, it's quiet and unassuming, always ready and ready to go when I need it. I paid extra and am very glad I did. Highly recommended. Update: I came back to update as there was a…

My new computer just didn't have enough room for all my drives. I'm glad I bought this HD Bay. The only problem I had was that it wouldn't turn on when I first plugged it in. I've flipped the switch several times but to no avail. I went and re-read the manual to see if I missed anything. I was about to contact the seller but I tried the power button again and it turned on immediately. I think it only needs a few minutes of power before it turns on. Hard drives are very easy to insert and can be

Oyen Digital is great in every way! I was the first to review this Thunderbolt 2 predecessor - it worked great but was a bit noisy and had screws - when I found and saw many 5 star reviews for this new replacement I couldn't wait to get it . A couple of times I called tech support about the capacity of the "old" box, someone answered the phone really quickly, was polite and informative - unlike almost all customer service these days. I gave them my "wish list" for the best device and they…

I got this after switching from separate external drives so I can use my old laptop as a dedicated NAS. I currently have 3 Exos 16TB drives running a mirrored Windows Storage configuration and a Samsung 960 4TB SSD (not part of the storage) inside (with an Oyen 2.5in-on-3, 5 inch adapter). I haven't had any storage space issues, unlike multiple external drives. The SSD is correctly recognized as an SSD by Windows, but Samsung's Magician software cannot recognize it, so don't rely on firmware…
