Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought the d5-300 as a replacement drive array for a failed truenas server. Tb plex movie library. I have it mirrored on an 8tb drive so just in case the raid 5 suffers a major failure i won't lose all my data.

Highlights
Quality
Sturdy metal construction and i like that its got toolless hot swap
Good transfer speeds and easy to install the disks
I have it all mirrored on an 8tb drive so just in case the raid 5 suffers a major failure i wont lose all my data
Westerndigital external drive had a failure and i lost so much data that i will never be able to get back again
Price
I got this on sale which really sweetened the deal
The cheapest diy recovery was 300 but wouldn’t work since i couldn’t boot the server with the array or even individual disks attached
I had a cheap 50 raid 1 box that died on me after about 3 years of use
The precious and expensive data loss was a big loss for me
Shipping
After sending in my amazon invoice i was told it was still under warranty
I wish it was faster but ill take it for now
Competitiveness
I had initially contacted terramaster about getting a replacement fan and was told terramaster did not sell replacement parts
Honestly this has been working better than the owc raid box i purchased a month or two ago
I was very upset but terramaster offered a discount on a new one

You dont need to install any software to use it as a usb drive but if you want to use it as raid drive then you will need to download software
