    I've been using 2 Orico 5 bay 'enclosures' running 24 hrs for more than a year

    I've this one amazon.co.uk/gp/…BC/ and also this one amazon.co.uk/gp/…F9/


    One is populated with 5 Segate Exos enterprise drives and has never been a moments problem, the other has just 3 of the Segate drives in them and again has been excellent

    The only minor thing (which could well be a configuration issue) is that the drives can go to sleep at times, which can be frustrating but overall no qualms with Orico

    For those looking, this is a usb enclosure ONLY.
    NO NAS. - NO RAID.
    If you don't need the hot swap feature, the same company does a similar unit for £111

    Does anyone know if there will be enough bandwidth to stream 4K movies through Plex? I want to replace the current large case with a compact one, and move all the disks for the plex to a similar storage.

    2160p HDR works fine with Kodi for me.... never tried Plex

    This would be a good way to reduce my Ext HDD's though are the WD ones ok to shuck? I got a few 12TB ones
    vipermo's avatar
    Yes today i shucked 2 WD 18TB Elements drive and there now running in this very Enclosure along side drivepool (edited)

    Is it me or is this just a very expensive JBOD. I don't see how it can be justified pricewise.
    sibeer's avatar
    Any good suggestions for a 5-8 bay JBOD enclosure?

    Is this much different from buying a powered USB hub and using external hard drives connected to it?

    It's a much neater solution than having 5 hard drives on your desk.

    rather get a used micro server or nas than this.

    Depends on the reasoning for buying this, I have a 2.5" version by Sabrent that I use plugged in the back of my synology NAS DS920+. No point in me having an extra NAS. The only reason I did this was because I got a load of used Barracuda 4TB 2.5" drives for free with an office clearout so thought I may as well use them for my weekly backup. (edited)

    14% 1 star, that's pretty bad

    Is this a bit like Orinoco Flow by Enya?

    99% of use cases for that amount of data requires reliability. The chances of this just blanking your drives is significantly higher than for Synology, QNAP, etc.. Worth it for backups only, if they get fried, format and start again.
    mr_johnsie's avatar
    That’s what cloud backups are for. It would be pretty silly to have all your backups in one location.

    they do RAID too. but i would pay more and go for a brand like WD. probably double the price tho.
  12. northerngeek's avatar
    if the unit was to fails can the SATA drives be connected to a PC's motherboard and the data read? I think NAS drives have their own format? this isn't a nas drive though.
    Alex_H's avatar
    Yep that would be possible I think.
  13. daddybr00's avatar
    If this was eSATA I would hook one up to my microserver but I really don’t see the point in spending good money for JBOD
  14. DealHugger's avatar
    Don't waste your money on these. Their products are not as reliable as you'd thought. NAS or home use storage systems that are worth considering only come in these categories:
    1. Synology
    2. QNAP
    3. Self built Unraid
    4. Self built TrusNAS
    5. Self built with other operating systems

    Currently have four Western Digital Gold 4TB 6gb speed HDD's.

    I would love to expand my storage for the Xbox Series X (can expand up to 16TB=14.5TB).

    I'm guessing a 4 bay (Raid 5) enclosure would do the job but have no idea which one to buy.

    Any recommendations from experienced users please?
