  • Easy, quick, and works great!
Model: ORICO-DS500U3-BK
I was switching to a new computer and needed info off of the 4 3.5" Sata drives I had. This was perfect. It has 5 bays that my drives slid down in and connected easily to. I like that it has a power button in the back so when I'm not transferring data, I can turn it off so the computer isn't spending extra resources trying to read it constantly. It literally is a Plug-n-Play device. I'm not a hardware person and this was a breeze! The usb cord does make data transfer speeds slower, but I knew that and am still happy with it. ... show more

  • Easy to Use Enclosure
Model: ORICO-DS500U3-BK
While there are some out there who use this enclosure to clone hard drives, I use it to move data to and from a NAS and several other data sources. Pretty much every data hoarder out there will tell you to keep multiple forms of back up in multiple locations, as there can be several points of failure, so I use this to back up various different hard drives at once. The connection is good and quick, and there are few small mechanical parts that could break from day to day use. I suspect over a long time, as with most enclosures, the fans will be the first things to fail. It's well made, feels sturdy, and runs well. 5/5 ... show more

  • Edited: Works well enough with a few mods.
Model: ORICO-DS500U3-BK
2nd Edit Having turned off the disk sleep function the unit is performing much better than it was with the sleep function enabled. I've updated my review to four stars because the unit still has issues. I can just live with them now. They really should package the firmware update software with the unit or provide some other mechanism to disable it. Heads up Apple / Linux users, the firmware update only works with Windows. If you have a dual boot like I do, once you disable sleep in Windows it fixes it for Linux too. I assume that if you are an Apple user with access to a Windows computer, you can update the box's firmware with the Windows machine and you'll be good to go. Let me reiterate that the real issue lies in the unit's poor cooling mechanism. My fix for that was to remove the top & put a small external fan blowing upward on the box. See the included photo for more information. With the top on my drives were running very hot at 150+ degrees Fahrenheit. Running you drives that hot long term will significantly shorten your drives' life spans. Edited: After I wrote my review, I was contacted by the seller. She offered me a refund but asked me to try a firmware mod to resolve the drive sleeping issue by disabling it. She sent me a link to a site that looked really sketchy. I followed the link anyway and it turned out to be a safe site. After making the suggest mods to the firmware the box is much more responsive and does not lock all my drives up like it did originally. It works well enough now that I've decided to keep it. I'm leaving my review as 2 stars however due to the unresolved heating issue. And also because the seller instructed me to not worry about the heating issue since hard drives are meant to run hot. That is simply untrue. Hard drives are designed to run in a temperature range of 50°F to 122°F. When I checked the temperature of my drives at the time I originally installed them in the box the temperature was above 150°F. The only safe way to use the device is as pictured: with the top off and an external fan blowing directly on the box. Original post: This rig will overheat your drives. There is no fan for air circulation. When I first installed my drives, I thought to check it after about 30 minutes and found all 5 of my drives WAY to hot to touch. Running your drives this hot will significantly shorten their life spans. The only way the to use it safely is to remove the top and put a small fan in front of it. Additionally, the sleep mode sucks. The drives go into sleep mode within seconds & takes forever to wake back up. I wish someone would create a 5 drive bay like my old 4 bay Mediasonic pro box. Unfortunately for me 4 bay is the largest they make. All the five bays I've reviewed have serious issues. ... show more

  • Great idea but not functional
Model: ORICO-DS500U3-BK
I bought this as I have 5 external HD's on my desk and wanted to cleanup the look of the desk (not only from number of power cords but desk clutter. Found this and though the reviews weren't great, decided to give it try. Looks nice and seemed to fit what I was looking for. However, after removing the HD's from their external enclosures and dropping (not literally), into the slots, connected to the USB and power, the PC didn't recognize any of the drives -- didn't even make the familiar noise that a USB device was connected. So, I started troubleshooting and found the PC will recognize two drives but the minute I put in a third (powered the device down), the PC won't recognize anything. In fact the unit drive indicators come on as normal, the drives spin up, then a few seconds later, the indicators go out and then back on. Drives stay powered on though. The indicators then come on again. It just cycles like this and the PC doesn't recognize that a USB is even plugged in. So I am returning it. No, I didn't damage the drives removing them from their enclosures. Everyone one of them comes up fine on the PC if I stick them into a single dock. My guess is that something in the USB bus inside the unit. ... show more

  • Inexpensive storage for home server expansion
Model: ORICO-DS500U3-BK
This will be used for expanding the storage of my home server. The drives won't be continuously spun up so heat shouldn't be an issue. I will add an extra fan to the lid if heat does cause a problem. You can set in Windows power management whether or not you want a drive to sleep if you don't want the unit going into standby mode. Also you can insert smaller SATA drives including SSD's in the unit but they won't have any physical support except the SATA connector plug. If you want something for continuous disk use I'd not recommend this because of the poor heat dissipation. Get yourself a nice RAID box on here instead. If all you want is something to store movies, pictures, music etc. to access occasionally then this is fine. ... show more
