💾 High-Performance ORICO 5-Bay RAID Storage Enclosure: 3.5-Inch Type-C to SATA III External Aluminum Alloy Drive Enclosure for HDD SSD, Supports RAID 0/1/JBOD - WS500RC3 Review

Operates as pool memory for one minute and then turns off. I've tried new SATA drives but they still have the same issues. Revain emailed me from the manufacturer saying they should have a 180 day guarantee and they haven't responded. Do not buy this product.

I love this device and use it every day. Set up very quickly. Installing the drive was quick and easy. Then all you have to do is plug it in and select the RAID mode you want. I configured mine as a JBOD and removed the sections that were configured by the JBOD configuration. I wanted 2 full, unpartitioned drives for extra storage space. As I said, I use it daily. The device is fast and I don't have any read/write lag issues. I would recommend this device to anyone who needs extra storage…

I installed 4 Hitachi 2TB drives in the case and it was connected to a Dell USB 3.0 Docking Station (D3100). I can connect this dock to my Surface Pro3 and Dell Inspiron 15 (5567). I mainly use storage for backups, which works very well. I haven't had any problems since installing it shortly after Christmas. I moved about 4TB from a tablet, laptop, some flash drives and another external drive. I couldn't get MS Windows 10 to mirror the drives as each is treated as offline.

I bought these because I was looking for a way to securely connect large SSDs to my computer. Each portal drive has been damaged by being plugged and unplugged. While this solved my problem, I only had a small problem trying to extract data from a partition backup. I restarted the device and everything is back to normal. The item is well made and looks great. They give you extra screws and a torque tool to open the front and insert washers. The airflow seems strong enough to cool these discs…

"The aluminum alloy body dissipates heat well, so the heat generated during use is accelerated by the wind." Made of thick plastic with no ventilation. There are four small (non-captive) hex screws that need to be removed from the front panel, these are basically the same screws used to attach the drives to the rails. I say mostly because the screw bag actually contains two screw types that are almost identical except for the thread pitch! Good luck sharing! Why they couldn't use thumbscrews or

I purchased this device with the intention of using it as a RAID 5 storage device so that important data would be redundant and secure. When I plugged in my Mac and set the switches for it nothing happened so I figured I need a driver or software but there was no manual or information. So I went to their website and the page that could have had a manual was all in Chinese. I took a chance, clicked the icon and got something, but it was useless, as was the driver. I then took it to an older Mac…

This review is for the Orico WS500RU3 5-Bay RAID Array. I currently have a Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 RAID array with 4 drives. . I wanted to install an additional RAID array and when I looked for the Mediasonic model I found that it is no longer available. So I looked for other options. I first found and tried the Yottamaster PS500RC3 which is very similar to this device, but then I found this one and decided to try it instead. In fact, Yottamaster and Orico blocks are almost the same with some…
