Review: If you want a good file or media server enclosure for 24/7 operation, this is it !!! - We had bought 2 YottaMaster 4 bay enclosures and 2 Mediasonic 4 bay enclosures, which did not meet our needs. The YottaMaster has a freakin 5 minutes sleep mode that cannot be disabled, the Mediasonic is an old design (1990s w/ light show) and has poor performance comparing to the TerraMaster D5-300. TerraMaster D5-300 does not have a sleep mode and only puts your drives to sleep when you shut down the attached machine or program a sleep mode. We want our servers to run 24/7 all year around. (Sleep mode will kill your drives) The enclosure seems to be well made and the transfer rates (read/write) speed in RAID 1 and 10 are outstanding. We clocked 200Mb/sec write speed and 220+ read speed. The only thing TerraMaster could improve, there were no instructions in the box, just a link to their website where they provide the instructions and software. The setup requires that you use their RAID master software, which only runs on windows or Mac. Means, we had to use a windows machine for setting the RAID levels. After that simple setup, our units work flawless on Unix/Linux with Ext4 filesystem. Unlike some other enclosures, this unit has 2 cooling fans build in, which provides more security when one of them dies. They also run fairly quiet, almost silent. Unless you have it in your bedroom, you won't hear it. We would have bought TerraMasters 4 bay unit because we only use 4 drives, but it seems to be backorder. However, this unit has 5 bays, which allows us to add one more drive and convert it to a RAID 5 should we have the need for more space. We have not tested the speed in RAID 5, but the unit actually had a label on it that said: " This enclosure is optimized for RAID 5". (I will update this review in the future, when or if we test the RAID 5)
Review: Disappointing - I had bought two of these to replace Drobos that my partner and I had been using for our photo storage. I chose these because I wanted to be able to easily set them up as Raid 5 DAS units. When they arrived I was pleased that they seemed to be solidly made, and it was easy to insert the 4 TB Iron Wolf drives I'd bought for them. I was hooking the units up to Macs, and that's where the trouble began. I discovered the Mac version of the software had only fairly recently been updated to work with Mac OS Monterey. There weren't clear instructions on how to download the software and after I found it the installation wasn't like the typical Mac DMG file and wouldn't install on my Mac Studio. I also discovered in the forum that contained the software that there were a number of posts unhappy about the software. I contacted Terramaster support for help and after a few exchanges found their assistance to be of little value. I returned both units for a refund and bought two OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad 4-Bay USB 3.2 Gen 2 RAID Enclosures. They were more expensive, but setting them up with OWC's Raid software was simple, and they've been working with no issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this 2-bay enclosure be used with only 1 hdd? i'm thinking about buying this and one drive now and one later when needed. don't need raid!**
A: Yes, just set it up in single mode.  Each disk will show up as an independent drive.

If you do switch it raid later you’ll need to backup and restore the data since the raid initialization will wipe the drive.

**Q: If 4 drives mounted as jbod, does unit act as hub with 1 cable to pc but showing 4 drives (q:,r:,s:,t:) or are 4 separate cables needed?**
A: If you build 4 hard drives as JBOD, the drives will be mounted as a single one drive with the total capacity of the 4 drives. If any hdd is failed, the data would be lost. And yes, it's always just only one cable needed to connect the device with your PC no matter what RAID modes you build. If you need 4 separate drives showing in your PC, you need to build Single mode under Windows, while under Mac, the default mode is Single, no need to use the software RAID Manager. In considering the data security, it's recommended to build RAID 5 and yes, 4 drives can build RAID 5.

**Q: How do you monitor health of each raid as I notice that software is not available for this one?**
A: You may check the HDD indicator lights which will turn into red if the hard drives have a problem.

**Q: What is the procedure for replacing a failed hard drive in raid 1 configuration?**
A: All you have to do is replace the bad hard disk drive. The RAID controller will rebuild the contents of the disk by mirroring the existing good disk drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Careful With Linux! (Read This First)
*by C***Y on August 29, 2024*

Greetings, if you are like me you saw that it was listed compatible with linux, this is not true. The most you will be able to achieve is a software RAID array with MDADM. You must look for articles on how to do it as Amazon will not let me post it. Digital Ocean has a good one. You more than likely want to run a RAID 5 or RAID 6 like me and I am using 3, 18TB drives for now until eventually I get 5. In my opinion, this or RAID 6 would be the best choice for data security. First take the hard drives and put them in one at a time and plug into your Linux PC. You want to open Disks and format each drive to be exfat4. This will set you up to follow the steps in the Digital Ocean guide, just Google it. Please follow this carefully and you will have success. Also to note, you MAY have rebooting issues if you modify your fstab, do NOT do that. Do NOT set it to boot at start. I would suggest mounting it manually each time you restart your PC only after having properly ejected it and powered it off. If you are like me and wish to make a media server with Jellyfin, etc, just leave it on, no need to turn your PC off honestly unless it's power consumption you're worried about. Once you've set up your RAID I would suggest rebooting a few times, copying files to see if they are still there after before you start moving big data around and of course, have a backup. I have seen speeds as high as 200mbps when transferring files, 25 for FTP over VPN, about 80-100 on average for write speed but I will say that pulling things up is incredibly snappy. If you choose not to read this or follow the steps I outlined, you will be in for a headache and a few empty bottles of alcohol by the time you've exhausted Reddit and everywhere else trying to find an answer. IF you are smart enough, reverse engineer the USB driver however I am not that guy. For the price and build quality this is not a bad unit at all and if you are smart enough, can get you by far better than something 4x the cost. If wanting to run a media server like me, get a cheap optiplex and run a GTX 1660 externally with a riser card, upgrade the RAM, get an SSD and 500W PSU, plug in one of these and you've got a beast for less than $600.
