Five-bay RAID enclosure for desktop storage

The Syba SY-ENC50118 holds up to five 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drives and connects via USB 3.0 or eSATA. It supports RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, SPAN and JBOD modes for capacity, redundancy or performance. Tray-less bays let you insert or remove drives without tools. The aluminium chassis and quiet fans keep operating temperatures low.

Bundled cables and hardware enable immediate setup

A USB 3.0 cable, an eSATA cable and a power cord are included so either host interface works out of the box. Thirty-two mounting screws for 2.5-inch drives and a screwdriver are also supplied, removing the need to source small fasteners separately. The package contains everything required to populate all five bays and connect to a host system.

eSATA port multiplier requirement limits

The eSATA connection only exposes multiple drives simultaneously when the host controller supports port multiplier with FIS-based switching. Without that capability, only a single drive is visible over eSATA. USB 3.0 does not have this restriction but tops out at the interface’s maximum throughput. Each drive bay accepts up to 6 TB for a total raw capacity of 30 TB.

Questions about this item

How are the five drive bays cooled during continuous operation?

Two quiet fans exhaust air through the aluminium chassis to keep all five drives at safe temperatures.

What host-side requirement lets eSATA see every drive at once?

The host port must support port-multiplier FIS-based switching; otherwise only one drive is visible over eSATA.

Which RAID modes are handled by the built-in controller?

The hardware controller manages RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, JBOD and spanning across the five SATA bays.
