Two-Bay RAID Enclosure

The Orico enclosure holds two SATA hard drives or solid-state drives in 2.5 or 3.5 inch form factors. It connects to a host computer through a USB 3.0 port and offers hardware RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD and normal modes. The unit is aimed at creators and professionals who need up to 44 terabytes of external storage across Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.

Aluminium Body with 40mm Fan

A silver aluminium chassis acts as a heatsink while a built-in 40 millimetre fan forces air across both drive bays. Each drive sits in an independent slide-in bracket that requires no tools for installation. A 48 watt AC adapter supplies power to the drives and the cooling system, and an auto-sleep function spins the drives down when the host goes idle.

Thermal Management and Power Draw

The combined aluminium shell and active fan keep drive temperatures low during sustained read and write workloads. Fan noise remains modest in typical office environments. The enclosure draws power from the included 48 watt adapter rather than the USB bus, so the host port is not burdened by the drives' spin-up current.

Questions about this item

What transfer speed does the USB 3.0 interface actually cap at with this enclosure?

The USB 3.0 connection tops out at 5 Gbps, so sustained throughput will not exceed that limit.

What drive sizes and mounting hardware does the enclosure accept?

It takes two 2.5" or 3.5" SATA drives using the included independent brackets.

How is the enclosure set up and what RAID step do people often miss?

Connect the 48 W adapter, choose the RAID mode switch before powering on, then initialise the array in your OS disk utility.
