4-Bay DAS enclosure for SATA drives

The Orico 9948C3 connects four 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs to a host via USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C. It targets users who need direct-attached capacity without RAID complexity, supporting up to 22TB per bay for a combined 88TB. An aluminium shell and 80mm fan handle heat during sustained transfers. The unit weighs 5000g and measures 264.8mm by 137.0mm by 200.7mm.

Tool-free trays with eject buttons

Each bay uses a screw-free tray that slides in from the front and locks with a push-button release, so single-drive swaps take seconds. No driver installation is required on modern operating systems. The 150W internal power supply feeds all four drives simultaneously, preventing spin-up stalls. Auto-sleep mode spins drives down after host inactivity to reduce wear and noise.

Maximum 22TB per SATA bay

The enclosure accepts any 3.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD up to 22TB, giving a hard ceiling of 88TB across four bays. Drives larger than 22TB are not supported, so buyers planning higher single-drive capacities must choose a different platform. Daisy-chain expansion is available through the second Type-C port for additional enclosures.

Questions about this item

How do I know the enclosure is running correctly after connecting it?

The 80 mm fan spins up, the front LEDs show activity for each of the four bays, and the host recognises every inserted SATA drive without extra drivers.

What ships in the box and what must I provide?

The aluminium enclosure with built-in 150 W power supply, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C cable and mounting screws are included; four 3.5-inch SATA hard drives up to 22 TB each are purchased separately.

Which capacity version should I choose for maximum storage?

The single model 9948C3-US-SV-BP supports up to 22 TB per bay for a total of 88 TB, so select drives that match your required capacity within that limit.
