Five-Bay RAID Enclosure

The Yottamaster PS500RC3 is a five-bay enclosure that accepts 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA drives for desktop or workstation storage expansion. It connects through USB 3.0 with UASP and also offers a SATA III external link, giving flexible host connectivity for creative professionals and small-office users who need high-capacity local storage.

Aluminium Chassis with 80 mm Silent Fan

A rugged aluminium shell provides structural rigidity and acts as a heatsink, while front and rear ventilation works with an internal 80 mm silent fan to move air across all installed drives. The cooling layout keeps drive temperatures stable during sustained RAID workloads without adding noticeable acoustic noise to a quiet office environment.

Hardware RAID 0 1 3 5 10 JBOD Clone

The built-in RAID controller presents seven array modes including Clone, selectable by hardware switches so no host software is required for configuration. This lets the enclosure present a single logical volume to the host while managing redundancy or performance striping internally, which is the specification that determines whether the unit matches a given backup or editing workflow.

Questions about this item

How do I install the drives using the front PUSH door, and what step is often missed?

Open the front door, slide each 2.5" or 3.5" drive into a bay until it clicks onto the SATA backplane, then close the door to lock it; the step often missed is verifying the drive LED turns blue before closing the door.

What maintenance will the 80 mm silent fan need later?

The 80 mm fan should be cleaned of dust every few months using compressed air; if it becomes noisy or stops spinning, replace it with an 80 mm 12 V unit of the same mounting holes.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy transfers over USB 3.0?

The USB 3.0 link caps sustained throughput at 5 Gbps, so combined RAID traffic from five drives will hit that bandwidth ceiling before the SATA 6 Gbps backplane or the drives themselves saturate.
