Holds five 3.5 or 2.5 inch drives. I don’t remember all of the raid settings but I am using it as JBOD photos on 1 drive, music on another, etc and 1 drive backing up an iMac. So far so good except I couldn’t get it to work at first, it turned out the usb 3.0 cable was bad. Works great since I figured that out. The housin is aluminum with dark tinted plastic window on one side so you can see the blue lights on each port on the backplane. Shaped like a little MacPro. Raid is set with dip switches on the Back. I just wish it had thunderbolt. Has a cooling fan but I swapped it for a quiet Noctura fan, it would be totally quiet if it were filled with SATA SSD drives. Review: Wonderful little RAID Array with a Few Surprises - I bought this enclosure because it looks what you'd get if Apple's last generation of Mac Pro had a love child with a custom built PC. I bought the 5 bay version of this enclosure that has built-in RAID capabilities. It's worth noting that the four bay version is just an enclosure, although you could easily be set it up as RAID using Windows storage spaces, which is what I ultimately did with this one anyway (read on to see why). Taking it out of the box it looks and feels really premium and the RGB lighting adds a great touch when you power it up. It's truly unique in the external enclosure world and sure to please Mac fans and Custom PC enthusiasts alike. I'm personally a custom PC builder and got this for storing all of the massive photo and video files I capture with my Sony A7rIV and A7riii. Some people have said that the fan on this unit is really loud. As someone who's been building PC's for years and knows what to expect from different fans running at different speeds, I'd say it's about what I'd expect from a tiny 80mm fan running at full force. For those curious to know, the fan itself uses a proprietary two-pin connector, is not PWM, and doesn't scale based on temperature. As far as noise from the unit goes, I did find that the acrylic panels have no padding between them and the aluminum chassis of the case. Under heavy reading/writing tasks, these rattle and can get pretty loud. This may be what some people were attributing to the fan. A tiny bead of silicone at the center of each panel between the screws will remedy this issue. Hopefully Yottamaster will add another set of screws at the center of the panel or add some padding to prevent this in future iterations of their design. If you do open the case, be aware that there are two metal brackets that float at either side of the unit which can pretty easily scratch the soft acrylic panel. You can press them in carefully or put something between them and the glass to prevent this or the top of the unit first (this method is much more involved). Another challenge I encountered out of box was the sleep timer which caused the unit to shut down at random - even during read/write tasks. To resolve this, I disabled drive sleep in Windows power plan, and downloaded two pieces of software from the Yottamaster website. One of these simply allows you to flash new settings to the unit's firmware, the second is full fledges software that let's you manage arrays and tweak various other settings on the device. I found that setting sleep to "0" (0=don't sleep) on one did not change the setting on the other. In order to keep the enclosure from powering down constantly, I found that both had to be set to "0." One other oddity that I noticed in the software is that the drive numbers displayed there don't match the ones physically printed on the side of the drive bays on the device. So, for example, drive 1 on the device displays as drive 5 on the software. I'm not sure if mine was miswired or if the software simply needs to be reprogrammed to accurately reflect the correct physical bay number. I setup a RAID 10 array with the built-in switch based utility then set the enclosure to standard mode and used Windows storage spaces to create a RAID 10 configuration. I ran speed tests in both configurations and found that I got significantly faster read and write speeds (about 20/40mbps) by allowing Windows to manage the RAID setup versus using the built-in RAID management on the unit. ===PROS=== -Probably the best looking RAID enclosure on the market right now -Solid and well constructed -RGB fan and tinted acrylic panels add a nice aesthetic touch to the unit -After some tweaking it has been functioning flawlessly for several weeks ===CONS=== -Fan uses a proprietary 2-pin connector -Acrylic panels can vibrate against the chassis under heavy loads, causing additional noise -Out of box you need to download software to keep it from going to sleep every 5 minutes -Drive numbers displayed software side do not match numbers printed on the physical device ## Features - 【Enjoy All Games You Like】5 bay hard drives can be mounted in this device, support with up to 90TB (5 x 18TB) large capacity.
