Review: Compact and cool-running USB 3.2 Gen 2 RAID enclosure with good performance - As a video editor, I'm always looking for additional storage. This is a compact 5-bay enclosure for 3.5" HDDs. It uses a 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. It is relatively quiet, and the performance is good. I populated it with five 16TB Seagate Exos 7200 rpm drives (80TB total) in RAID-0 using AppleRAID, also SoftRAID Pro 7.5. I tested both 64KB and 128KB stripe sizes. Test machines were an M1 Ultra Mac Studio, M1 Max MacBook Pro 16, M2 Pro Mac Mini, and 2017 i7 iMac 27. Performance was similar on all of them, about 900 MB/sec write, and 700 MB/sec read on the Blackmagic test. See attached ATTO disk test for performance at various I/O sizes. Some may wonder why use rotating drives; aren't SSDs the way to go? Look up how much 80 terabytes of SSD storage costs and compare that to this unit populated with 7200 rpm HDDs. Mechanical drives in the proper RAID configuration are still very fast and much cheaper than SSDs. With the correct adapter, you can also put 2.5" SATA-type SSDs in this enclosure. MacOS has RAID-0 and RAID-1 software support built in. For higher RAID formats you would need SoftRAID. Windows 11 Pro has RAID-5 in software. I also have four OWC Thunderbay 4 Thunderbolt enclosures with similar HDDs. Compared to the Fortis 5C they are generally louder and slower at most I/O sizes, but those are 4 x 12TB Seagate Exos drives vs. the 5 x 16TB drives in the Fortis 5C. The question may arise about the performance and utility of the Fortis 5C USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface vs. Thunderbolt 3. I previously preferred only Thunderbolt storage on my Macs because of the performance and ability to daisy-chain drives. However, USB 3.2 Gen 2 has no performance penalty vs. Thunderbolt 3 when using five 16TB 7200 rpm drives. The USB 3.2 interface is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports. As a result, I never felt constrained by the point-to-point USB 3.2 cabling. The Fortis 5C has a fan switch that allows it to run either continuously or intermittently at a lower speed, based on a 35C internal chassis thermostat. I preferred the intermittent operation as it was quieter overall. Unlike my other RAID enclosures with air intakes on the front, the Fortis 5C has a good-sized bottom-mounted air intake. Provided you don't set it on a carpet, the supply of cool air should be no problem. I have done rigorous multi-day stress testing with dedicated I/O tools, and where the enclosure is fully populated with always-on 7200 rpm drives. So far, I've never seen any sign of thermal issues, even with the fan set to intermittent. I found myself using the handle on the top more often than expected. The rubber case might seem superfluous but prevents knocks and scrapes when moving the unit. This is a good cost-effective drive enclosure that is relatively quiet and compact.
Review: Excelente gabinete para almecenamiento de hasta 100TB - Es un gabinete para uso de múltiples unidades de almacenamiento. Soporta hasta 100TB de almacenamiento. No incluye soporte RAID en HARDWARE, pero con SOFTWARE es sencilla y rápida la configuración en RAID. La única desventaja es que SOFTWARE RAID suele requerir múltiples licencias para múltiples equipos. Sin embargo, el producto en si es funcional, de excelente diseño visual, buena calidad de materiales, de uso fácil y rápido. Es una excelente alternativa para almacenar una cantidad ingente de datos sin desembolsar una cantidad monstruosa de $. 100% recomendable para profesionales y consumidores que necesiten almacenar datos.

### ⭐ Unusable
*by A***H on 8 December 2025*

This would probably have been ok if usable. It looks robust. However delivered to uk with a foreign power cable. Unusable. Amazon website gave no possibility of communicating this to them.
