It connects via a USB 3.0 interface and includes features like daisy chain expansion, a USB-C hub, and support for single disk replacement.

Our take
For those seeking a multi-bay enclosure for 3.5-inch drives, this ORICO unit presents a solid option, especially given its aluminum build for better heat dissipation. The daisy chain and USB-C hub features are excellent for expanding connectivity. While the USB 3.0 interface is still capable, it's not the latest Gen 2 found on some similar models, which is a minor point to consider for maximum speed enthusiasts. The support for single disk replacement is a practical touch for managing multiple drives. It's a hefty unit, so plan for a dedicated spot on your desktop.
