Review on πŸ’Ύ Terramaster D5-300C USB 3.1 (Gen 1) Type C 5-Bay RAID Enclosure - RAID 0/1/Single Support, Exclusive 2+3 RAID Mode, Diskless Hard Drive RAID Storage by Joe Patterson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ideal as a backup device, misleading description

Actually overpriced. You can expect 4Gbps transfer speed instead of 7.2Gbps or 10Gbps. If it works as advertised, you'd happily skip the included tools and instead treat yourself to a decent power supply.If you're expecting something on par with a Thunderbolt RAID enclosure, look elsewhere.The rugged aluminum chassis amplifies fan noise and drive and is not suitable for noise-sensitive work environments Pros: Ready to work with Linux , MacOS X and WindowsClear instructionsEasy to set upLots of screws and tools included ,Caddies with brackets that support 2.5" and 3.5". -Drives work USB 3.1 and USB-C Actual throughput using HGST drives at 7200 rpm reactive RA ID compliant USB device 3.0 3.3A/12V p color supply for a short time for this world. The supplied cables are very short. The injection molded plastic actuator housing acts as a thermal insulator for actuator heat. The volume of the device during operation is approx. 60 dB (normal conversation). Overload. Verdict: Unless you're expecting an incredibly fast, quiet, always-on case that you can tuck under your desk while you work, it works adequately as a dual drive sometimes used alongside your computer.

Pros
  • 5-bay RAID storage compatible with 2.5/3.5" SATA HDD or SSD, supports 18TB HDD, total capacity up to 90TB. (Note: Users need to buy their own hard drives. They are not included.
Cons
  • There are new competitors.
