Five-Bay 3.5-Inch Enclosure for Family Storage

The Orico DS500C3 holds up to five 3.5-inch SATA hard drives, each up to 18 TB, for a combined 90 TB capacity. A magnetic cover removes without tools, so drives slide in vertically and connect instantly. It targets households or small offices that want a single external volume for backups, media libraries or archival storage.

USB-C 5 Gbps Host Link with 12 V 6.5 A Adapter

The enclosure connects to a PC or NAS through a USB-C port running at SATA III speeds up to 5 Gbps. An included 12 V 6.5 A power brick supplies every bay, so no host-port power is required. Drives are hot-swappable, freeing internal motherboard SATA ports and case bays for other components.

60 mm Fan, Auto-Sleep and Multi-Protection

A 60 mm double-ball bearing fan draws heat away from drives during sustained transfers. After 10 minutes of inactivity the unit enters auto-sleep, spinning disks down to cut noise and power draw. Built-in circuitry guards against over-voltage, over-current, overheating, short-circuit and leakage to protect stored data.
