Five-bay SATA enclosure for home storage

The Orico DS500U3 holds five 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs in a single USB 3.0 device. It is built for families and home offices that want a simple way to pool up to 90 TB of bulk storage without opening a PC case. Windows, macOS and Linux all recognise the drives automatically.

USB 3.0 host link limits total throughput to 5 Gbps

Every bay connects through one USB 3.0 port, so the combined read and write speed of all five drives cannot exceed the 5 Gbps bus. If your workflow needs sustained multi-drive bandwidth beyond that ceiling, this enclosure will not meet the requirement.

60 mm double-ball bearing fan vents through

Active airflow keeps drives cool during long backup or media-serving sessions. The fan runs whenever the unit is powered, and the enclosure enters an auto-sleep mode after ten minutes of inactivity to reduce noise and power draw. Four LEDs show individual drive status at a glance.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 connection mean for real-world file transfers?

The USB 3.0 link runs at 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0, so large-file speeds will be limited by that interface rather than the SATA III drives inside.

Which SATA versions does the internal interface support, and what does that cap in practice?

The enclosure accepts SATA I, II and III drives, so each bay can handle the full 6 Gbps SATA III rate, but the USB 3.0 host link remains the bottleneck.

What are the physical dimensions and weight, and what clearance does the rear fan need?

The unit measures 8.6"L x 5.5"W x 7.7"H and weighs 2.20 kg; the built-in 60 mm fan vents through a honeycomb rear panel, so leave space behind it for airflow.
