Deal Details
This is the newest model for full-sized 3.5" SATA hard disks, and instead of outdated RAID arrays offering no benefit anymore (putting all your data at risk because of one failed drive), each of these drive bays mount separately -- hence the phrase, Just a Bunch Of Disks (JBOD). This also is not an NAS, which is overkill for most (dramatically slowed down by a network bus).

I personally prefer the generation just before this, because it had a physical rocker switch on the back instead of this momentary one, so that a power failure (or smart switch for remote control) cannot fire the bay back up -- very stupid feature downgrade (but ORICO covering their ass if customers complain about restoration spikes). But, for those who don't care about that minor qualm, this is great.

You will almost definitely see a $50 coupon, bringing the price down by 1/3:

Does Unraid or TrueNas see all disks with serial numbers or is this one that just appears with the usb info?
