About this product
The ORICO 5-Bay External Hard Drive Enclosure is a DAS (Direct Attached Storage) solution designed for five 3.5'' HDDs. It connects via a USB 3.0 interface, providing plug-and-play and hot-swap functionality. Constructed from aluminum, this black enclosure ensures robust housing. It comes with a 150W power supply and offers compatibility with both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives, though primarily configured for 3.5''. The unit measures 10.5 inches in length, 6 inches in width, and 7.6 inches in height.
Our take
For those with significant storage needs, this ORICO 5-bay enclosure offers a compelling solution to consolidate multiple 3.5-inch drives. The aluminum construction is a major plus, providing excellent durability and heat dissipation, which is crucial for multiple drives. The USB 3.0 interface is fast enough for most direct attached storage uses, and the plug-and-play/hot-swap features are essential for convenience when managing several drives. It includes a robust 150W power supply, which is necessary for powering five drives. While it technically supports 2.5-inch drives, its design and power supply are clearly optimized for 3.5-inch HDDs, making it ideal for a personal media server or backup station.
