Pros

The samsung m. Datum is the fastest direct attached unit that i have used so far reaching 800mb/s on reads and writes. In raid-5, that's 32 tb available and it can survive one drive going bad. I use drives with 2x 16 tb for 32 tb storage that works we...  Read More

Product works excellent and well worth the cost. Highly recommended. I recommend this product eyes close!

Easy to install and even easier to use. Integrates seamlessly with my thunderbolt system. Terramaster has excellent technical support and they spent many hours helping me get this set up.

Dell xps 13 (9370) has top specifications. My 2011 imac is now smokin' fast.



Cons

Both hard drives in the unit are inaccesssable, so there is no backup i can rely on. It's far easier to use a utility to copy a backup from time to time than to rely on this overly complex and fragile unit. Users can't simply plug in their archived ha...  Read More

There is no measurable likeliness that both of these high end drives failed on their own at the same time. The drivers for monterey and m1 are still in beta, support is only from a forum. When connected via thunderbolt to my mac pro (2019) it is only ...  Read More

Quality


This thing is heavy and solidly made, and the handle is nice.


It is built well, quiet (except for hd spinning) and solved my “improperly ejected” problem from another dock.


Got this unit after purchasing a sabrent dual external dock that was getting nowhere near the advertised speeds and was having ...  Read More


I had an issue with it suddenly not mounting after one year of use, which freaked me out.

Price


This enclosure not only looks great, it's the fastest raid-5 solution you can get for the money.


1 — but at a total cost under $60 per tb.


Got over 40tb of fast raid 5 disk space for a fraction of what it would cost using other vendors products.


For this price, they should have given one that's a decent length.

Shipping


It actually was delivered to my door on a sunday, three days after i reached out to them.


They are on the asia time zone so it was a few days of back and forth before i had my answer.

Packaging/appearance


The package arrived in great condition, i found it to be packaged in a very safe way (see images).

Competitiveness


My laptop computer is the dell xps 13 (9370) with top specifications.


I ended up selling both of these drives on ebay for several reasons:1 - apparently having two d5s attached to my gigabyte z390 ...  Read More


Unlike other reviewers i got the same results using the originally supplied tbt3 cable as well as cablematters certified tbt3 cable.


Also, the cable that came with the unit didn't work for me, but i wrote to terramaster and they immediately sent out a name-bra...  Read More
