- Forcibly pulling out or inserting the hard disk during read&write may cause data loss.
2. About daisy chaining usb devices.
- When you daisy chaining other USB devices, your computer will recognize all independent hard drives.
- When you choose eject device, all devices connected via daisy chain will be ejected as a whole.
3. The device will enter sleep mode without data exchange within 10 minutes.

This system comes with a USB B to USB 3 cable but I have had problems of system not recognising the FS4
unit and there fore unuseable. After a great deal of playing around changing drivers etc etc I found the easiest resolution was to use a USB B to USB c cable runs at 5GBits solved the problem. I did contact Yottamaster but their answer was a ‘may be incompatible with the system’…no solution or even a suggestion.
So its a good unit and works very well when connected properly. So make sure u have a usb B to USB c cable as well. As it stands still awaiting a reason or a free cable…be nice if it was supplied….but hey ho…..
but as with most chinese stuff you are on your own it appears…
Would have liked individually powered bay option but understand this is not possible because of possible raid setup.
Can’t find a way on the enclosure to set up a raid option even when it shows jumper settings in instruction manual? But no way to access or find out how to do it!
I was looking for an enclosure to run a NAS powered by a raspberryPi
I am overall happy with the results.
My 2 existing drives where recognised instantly from previous setup
Noise level and heat is acceptable
Bought on Black Friday as I wanted to add an external RAID rig to my Synology DS1019+ NAS. I installed 5x8TB Seagate discs (see my other reviews) and set them up for RAID5 by using the jumpers on the back of the rig. Using jumpers does seem a bit ‘old school’ but it’s easy enough when you read through the instructions. Just make sure there’s nothing on the discs before you change RAID modes as you will lose all the data on the discs. Once it was set up I plugged it into a PC to make sure it was functional, and indeed it was seen as a 32TB drive (4x8TB, and 1x8TB for error correction). Read and Write times seemed as expected, although I confess I have not done any bench marking against one of the single discs.
Once it was plugged into my NAS, it was usable as a 32TB drive. I was so impressed, that I bought another 5 disc Yottamaster and 5x8TB Seagate external discs which I then cannibalised to fit in the Yottamaster. It’s been running 24/7 since November storing files for a plex server. No issues at all so far, but will report back here if that changes…
Why isn’t it 5 stars?
* The caddys use screws rather than quick release, which is a bit ‘last year’, this is a minor niggle.
* The fan, although quiet, isn’t silent. But it’s not loud enough to be annoying with all the other server fans running, and can be changed easy enough if it’s that annoying.
* The dip switches on the back to select the RAID configuration just seems a bit ‘Heath Robinson’
* A good feature would be to allow say 3 discs to be used as RAID, and the remaining 2 as individual drives
* It’s not clear whether this supports single discs of 18TB with a maximum capacity of 90TB, or a maximum capacity of 80TB…
However, overall, It’s a good little unit which so far seems to operate pretty solidly.
Tras varios intentos con otros productos de diferentes fabricantes (Orico, SilverStone) no consegua la compatibilidad que me permitiera acceder a todas las unidades (Se detectaba la unidad de almacenamiento, pero slo una de las bahas era visible por el NAS).
Consult con Yottamaster y me garantizaron la compatibilidad. Fue recibir el equipo, instalarlo y ah estaban los cinco discos duros completamente accesibles por el NAS. PERFECTO!
La unidad es tremendamente fcil de instalar y configurar (Las opciones RAID se seleccionan con unos interruptores en la aprte posterior del equipo) y su diseo parece robusto y fiable (Aluminio).
Las unidades quedan firmemente sujetas a las badejas extraibles mediante unos tornillos proporcionados por el fabricante. Gran detalle: Adjunta el destornillador apropiado junto con los tornillos.
La disipacin de temperatura de las unidades es buena gracias al ventilador posterior.
La nica cuestin mejorable tiene que ver, justamente, con el ventilador instalado. No es que sea muy ruidoso, pero ms silencioso sera ideal. Seguramente opte por substituirlo po otro modelo (Noctua?), ya que el acceso posterior al mismo es muy fcil.
El otro aspecto mejorable es que el ventilador no entra en reposo/parada aunque la unidad no est en uso. Siempre est funcionando al mismo nivel, no adapta la rotacin a la temperatura del equipo. Pero quiz esto sea pedir demasiado…
En definitiva, el producto que estaba buscando con una relacin calidad-precio correcta.
Recomendara su compra.
Easy to get up and running very quickly. Four stars only because it’s not as quiet as I had hoped.
Die Schalter fr den Raid-Type einstellen, Festplatten einbauen. Fertig. (Achtung: ich denke bei diesem Preis ist es technisch nicht mglich Raid-Typen zu verndern oder Festplatten zum Raid hinzu zufgen, ohne alle Daten zu lschen.)
Il prodotto di semplicissimo utilizzo e installazione. Semplicemente agisce da case esterno per 5 hard disk da 3.5″ o da 2.5″, con un’unica presa di corrente e un unico cavo. Utile se si hanno pi HDD esterni con contenuti diversi e non si vuole avere un case separato per ciascuno di essi. Pu essere anche predisposto per la copia dei dati nelle varie modalit RAID; personalmente non ho testato questa soluzione.
L’inserimento dei dischi facilissimo, l’unit in gran parte di plastica ma discretamente robusta. Avevo bisogno di un prodotto del genere per semplificare le mie opzioni di archiviazione esterna, e sono soddisfatto. Il prezzo piuttosto alto per un semplice case senza opzioni NAS, ma anche vero che per un NAS a 5 bay si spende anche il doppio.
La possibilit di avere un raid 5 e contemporaneamente USB ad alta velocit lo rendono ideale per backup di grosse dimensioni.
L’installazione rapida con i manuali che spiengano in pochi passi come configurare i volumi. Leggere attentamente il manuale per l’impostazione degli switch e la sequenza per rendere operativo in 3 minuti il tutto. Lo consiglio.
