Minor correction: the manufacturer says the enclouse is aluminum alloy, not stainless steel.

How is this a review without proper performance tests?

[justthinkaboutit]

The problems that I see that weren't addressed.
This looks like the reviewer was sent the item for free which can mean a biased review
You're 1 dip switch flick away from deleting all your data.
The trays don't lock in so they could fall out if you pick it with the door facing down.
No handle
Plastic trays do not assist with heat dissipation
Most people including myself will be plugging HDs with data on, not empty drives. I am always weary about plugging a HD with data into an unknown device. You never know what it is going to do. I have had a NAS device in the past that just formatted drives when you insert them, or when you had to share a folder in order to see your data but unlike windows when you remove the share it also deletes the data. How wonderful that you are supposed to know this and why you should be very careful when plugging in a HD with data into an unknown device. I would have liked to hear this issue reviewed. I go for simple now, I have a primary and backup HD that I backup manually. I have never lost any data doing it that way. All I need is a place to put the backup HDs that isn't going to be too smart and delete my data.

if you insert a drive while other drives are in the enclosure does that disrupt/disconnect them?

[matthewhedge]

how do I check the health of the drives when they’re in here please

NTFS for MacOS? This won't work. Why not ExFAT?

Thanks for your review. I find that enclosures that follow this design with a hollow metal shell with plastic internals produces a lot of echo from noisy drives. If the docking trays have no rubber or something else to act as vibration compensation, you will have a really loud enclosure.

Hello, I need to buy a new power adapter for Yottamaster Y-Pioneer 5. Bay External Hard Drive. Can you advise me which type can be used? I see that there are many different types on the market with the same 4pin connector. Is it 4pi with 2x +12V and 2x GND? I also see that there may be different pin assignments? Thanks for the answer?

Hello i just received mine iv got it set up but it doesn't show on my pc iv used it on a ubuntu 22.04 and windows 11, i mainly want to use it on ubuntu but i just cant get it to shown on the disk manager, any help?

[Le_Sourpuss]

Thanks for the review! I wish it would come with silicone grommets on the HDD trays to absorb vibrations as some more premium cases (such as Antec) usually feature.

Would love to see something like this that's a quarter of the size and restricted to eight 7mm SSDs only, with high bandwidth connectivity.

[drfilm]

I have one of these. Have you had reports of very slow transfer speeds?

[uxzhk]

Wich USB Controller does this enclosure use? Is it suitable for 24/7 use?

[djexotic]

i love this enclosure but can i use it just a regular drive bay with four 4tb drives not in raid?

[peawee]

if i have hdd's with data already on them & its set to normal mode will it show up as a normal hd when i turn it on & i wont loose the data?

[peterpayne]

I have had TWO data issues with the PS500RC3 5-bay drive, in two years. I'd love to be able to load the RAID tool for Mac, but the program they offer immediately crashes with an error and is not launchable. I cannot recommend any Yottamaster product for any Mac user until the company can guarantee proper tools that will work with the machines we are using them with.

Can we use it for xbox series ? Save and play game on it

[buriedbits]

It’s definitely a nice enclosure. I own a non-raid version. I don’t care about performance. It’s fast enough for me

Two problems though. If I have 4 3.5 mechanical drives it doesn’t behave. I don’t think it’s a power issue but I am going to buy all new drives as it could be the drives.

The main issue though is it starts to vibrate for no reason. To resolve I need to touch or wiggle the drive bay. The drive trays are plastic with no fasteners. I also own an OWC 4 bay and the quality is way superior but for budget the Yottamaster is good enough.

What’s the capacity of external DC power supply including in this package ?? 12 V ?? 15 V ? How many ampere ?

[SpartaBrown]

I just bought in on Amazon prime mine does not have a raid button on the back. So I am confused.
