D5-300C USB3.1 (Gen1) Type C 5-Bay RAID Enclosure Support RAID 0/1/Single Exclusive 2+3 RAID Mode Hard Drive RAID Storage (Diskless)

I'm a film maker and photographer and with files sizes getting bigger all the time I got over my phobia of all things labelled 'Raid' and took the plunge. I'm glad I did as it's all very simple. Insert standard hard drives (NAS drives are best because they don't constantly spin and last longer / are made for storage) and away you go. The first two bays are for a Raid setup. All this means is that you put two identical sized drives in to them, turn the switch on the side to 'Raid 1' and you only see one drive on your machine. The second 'disappears' and is automatically written to so you have a perfect duplicate of your drive should it die. Just what I need. I have an archive drive in the third bay that I am slowly watching back up to Backblaze online and will do the same with the fourth and fifth bays as the archive fills over time. Job done. It really is extremely simple. Don't be put off when you take it out of the box by how light it is - once you add the drives the weight shoots up and it sits very stably on your shelf. Finally a professional, reliable system for storing all my precious data. Couldn't be happier with my choice.

First of all, this thing is far too expensive for what it does. At nearly 270 USD at time of this review, this is an absolute rip-off. The hardware used it very limited and old, to the extent that you cannot even extract the drive IDs from the hard drives (not easily at least). Thermals are quite terrible as well, and I would not trust the built-in RAID controller for a second. If you use your drives stand-alone, i.e. a 5 individual drives, you are probably o.k... For this price, the presented hardware and software is absolutely disgraceful. When I reached out to customer support, I did get answers, but unfortunately very unqualified ones. It took some virtual screaming to get somebody qualified to assist and even then, they had to acknowledge the limitations of their hardware... My advice: avoid at all cost.

I had no trouble using this product from the time it was unboxed. It is quick enough for me. I just want offline storage that is wired via USB. Mirroring is available to only the first 2 drives in the 5 drive bays. This is not presented very well but is listed in the documentation for the device both as you shop and in the owners manual... You just have to look close at the device promotion and documentation. I've had it on many hours. Shutdown is easy, simply system tray hardware and eject media icon. I power off the drives when not in use. I use WD black drives, which most wouldn't use because of their speed isn't necessary for storage like this. I'm happy with the device and would purchase it again. I don't know if it's hot swap-able but then I don't need that feature. No buffering issues etc. I'm always careful with drives and would shutdown before I changed something out anyway. Hope this helps you in your choice to make. I run movies that I have ripped from my DVD collection to one of the drives in the array. The movies are clear and not choppy. I'm happy since this is all on USB 3.0

【良かった点】 ・本体のボタン切り替えだけでRAID設定ができ、構築が非常に簡単 ・HDD2本をレイドにして、他の3本をシングル使いといった感じもできる ・動作は安定しており、使用中に不具合は今のところ感じていない ・USB Type-C接続に対応していて、接続の汎用性が高い ・全体的に使い勝手が良く、ストレスなく運用できている ・音はかなり静か 【気になった点】 ・現時点では特に不満点はなし 【向いている人／向かない人】 複数のHDDをまとめて管理したい人や、難しい設定をせずにRAIDを組みたい人には向いています。

Very easy to access large capacity i used 5 18 tb and its fantastic

Purchased this during a lightning deal and I'm glad I did. I wanted to replace my 4 disk JBOD which was very loud. I had my eye on this as it's a 5 disk JBOD with option to RAID. This DAS is awesome!! I find myself having to check to make sure it's still running since it's so quiet. Solid build as light as it is. No problems in the 3 weeks I've been using it for my PLEX server. Simple plug and play and you're good to go as long as you're using it as a JBOD. I've no interest in RAID so I can't speak to that. Highly recommend!!

Macのデータ保管用に購入。選択したのは5ベイのTerraMaster D5-300Cというモデル。複数台入る外付けストレージケースは安定性が何よりも重要だと思っているので、購入後1年程経った今レビューを。 デザインはシルバーモデルのMacによく合っていてなかなか良い感じ。側面にブランドのロゴが大きく入ってしまっているのが惜しい。Mac mini 2018を上に載せると丁度ぴったりのサイズ感。本体側の端子がType-Cなのも好印象。 ケーブルはType-C - Type-Aのものが1本付属している。大きなACアダプタがついているのは正直残念だけど、この手の製品では仕方のないことか。 接続自体はUSB 3.0 (5Gbps)のため注意が必要。HDDやSSDを単体で使う分には十分な速度が出るが、RAIDを組む場合は上限に達してしまう可能性も。個人的には、この手のストレージケースのハードウェアRAIDは障害耐性が不安であまり使いたくないため、あくまでも5ベイのストレージケースとして使用。 購入後1年程HDDとSSDを組み合わせてMacに繋いだまま1日中使っているが、接続が切れたりすることもなく安定している。動作音はファンがついているため決して無音ではないが、大型ファンのため比較的静か。そしてよく冷える。 安定性はRAIDの有無や使用環境にも依るのかもしれないが、少なくとも自分の環境では安定して使えていることと、いくつか残念な点はあるもののデザインも良いことから、概ね満足。
