I bought two different Orico ensures and returned both. Performance was not good. Slow transfer speeds. Hard Drives wouldn't be recognized. No bueno.

For those like me who want JBOD and would happily buy without RAID: The one with RAID shows $121 (after tax) at checkout. The one without says $135 despite starting at a far lower cost.

Quick Edit: I'll probably still be skipping due to being USB 3.0 and all of my most recent machines having 3.2 (3.1 Gen 2). Unless someone more knowledgeable (at least than me at 2am) knows this doesn't matter with SATA 3?

Is this considered a NAS?

Not a NAS, just external storage

This thing failed on me with ZFS, then failed again. Might be good for other filesystems, but unreliable for ZFS. Could be the USB 3.0 interface.

5gbps is equivalent to the speed of data transfer from one Sata drive. So it's effectively like accessing one drive at a time

Can you recommend anyone for UGREEN one that is also just an external storage with RAID? Or whatever you are using? Thanks.

I would both buy a different vendor and get the non raid edition. I have a 10 bay "truenas" server and zfs/btrfs which both have snapshot/built in file compression are much safer (if the system dies I can load those drives on any other machine that supports those filesystems...much more problematic with raid hardware when it fails), this vendor has high issue reports. Yes raid is "faster" but when using usb even for gen 3.2 the bottleneck is still going to be usb and not the filesystem. if available (and I don't know that they are) I'd go with usb-c which can go to at least 20gbps. Regular usb gen 3.2 max's out at 10gbps. Accessing multiple drives can easily push up to that 20gbps max if reading is done correctly (ie across multiple drives at same time since the same data is stored in multiple places)

there you go, then you can use seagate drives in raid5 and when they fail every year you just pop the bad one out and let it rebuild

just don't get all four drives from the same batch

ah I see ugreen is recommended instead

The RAID version can still be setup as a JBOD. If anyone is on the fence, get the RAID version as it is less expensive.

This won't matter, as even with RAID 0 using the fastest SATA drives available (SATA SSD's) you're still not going to saturate the 5Gbps bandwidth.
In short, no need to go higher than 5Gbps for enclosures that don't use NVMe, even if you use RAID 0 on 4 drives.

A single SATA SSD is capable of saturating 5gbps USB3. Overhead and other factors will limit it from actually hitting 625MB/s but directly connected via SATA they can do 550MB/s. You could push the limits of usb 3.1 gen 2 with a 2x SATA SSD in RAID0.
