Orico has introduced a new 5-bay 3.5-inch HDD enclosure available on Amazon Japan, aimed at users seeking high-capacity local storage without the complexities of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system. This innovative enclosure supports a total storage capacity of 90 TB by accommodating five drives, each with a maximum size of 18 TB. One of its standout features is the magnetic attachment mechanism on the top cover, allowing for quick and tool-free installation or swapping of drives, significantly simplifying the hot-swapping process compared to traditional enclosures that require disassembly.

In terms of connectivity, the enclosure utilizes a USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 interface, offering a maximum transfer speed of 5 Gbps. Additionally, it includes UASP support, enhancing transfer efficiency by minimizing CPU overhead during sequential operations. The enclosure is equipped with an auto-sleep mode to conserve power and prolong drive life during idle periods. Thermal management is effectively handled by a 120 mm internal fan and a large honeycomb ventilation panel, ensuring consistent airflow across all bays. The enclosure is priced at ¥19,899 (approximately $125), but a promotional coupon currently reduces the price to ¥9,461 (around $59.4) until June 22, 2026.
