JBOD: Synonymous with "just a bunch of drives" and known as "disk spanning", JBOD mode groups physical disks to form a single, larger virtual drive. RAID 0 - Also called "disk striping", if you have at least two drives, using RAID 0 will combine them, this will help with the read and write speeds of your hard drive. Note: If a drive fails, it will lose all of its data. RAID 1: This is known as "disk mirroring", if you have at least two drives, RAID 1 will duplicate your data and store one copy on each drive. Ensures that you will not lose your files if a drive fails. How to configure RAID mode? Normal mode: switches 1 and 2 are off (switches 1 and 2 are low). JBOD mode: switch 1 is off, switch 2 is on (switch 1 is off, switch 2 is on) RAID 0 mode: switch 1 is on, switch 2 is off, switch 2 is off) RAID mode 1: switch 1 and 2 are both on (switch 1 and 2 are both up). Note: 1. RAID 0 is best used for files you've backed up elsewhere. 2. RAID 1 is best used to store data you don't want to lose, such as crucial bank details or family photos and documents. Package Contents 1 x RAID HDD Enclosure, 1 x USB 3.0 Cable, 1 x Screw and Screwdriver, 1 x Power Adapter, 1 x User Manual Review: CENMATE 4 Bay Hard Drive RAID Enclosure with Cooling Fan for 2.5/3.5" SATA HDD/SSD - I've ordered 4 of these now and 3 of them have been tested and here are the findings. 1.) No issues with 20TB shucked WD Easystore drives from Bestbuy. 2.) Fan is a little loud but honestly you need to keep your drives cool this is an acceptable compromise. 3.) The fan should be much larger if anything even mounted outside. Have not attempted a teardown to see if I can upgrade the fansize or change anything yet as it runs fine. 4.) Raid 5 with 4 20TB WD drives clocks at 150 MBps which is more than good enough for a media server. The RAID selection is like this: Switching between any raids and wiping out the data on the drives there is a "Normal" mode and then the other modes such as RAID 0 1 3 5... 1.) Default Normal Mode You get the box, you put the drives in and if you leave it in the default normal mode the drives will all mount normally as 4 drives. If you use ESATA you will need a port multiplier compatible card. 2.) RAID 5 You turn off the device set the dip switch to RAID 5 then hold the reset button for 10 seconds before letting go, the drives will auto be formatted to RAID 5 config and a header will be written on to the drives for this mode. 3.) Switching from RAID 5 to any other mode you need to go back to normal mode so it can erase the RAID headers on the drives. [BUG with Hard Disk Sentinel Pro] Now for the longest time I couldn't figure out why the drives won't mount properly it turns out once you've jumped to a RAID mode and go back to normal Hard Disk Sentinel Pro goes nuts and causes the drives to keep unmounting. You can manually erase each drive then all 4 will mount again. If you are just going to jump back to RAID 5 for example or another RAID level you can just ignore this weird problem and close Hard Disk Sentinel and all 4 drives should appear again in your diskpart manager. Couple of things I tested and figure I leave here so you don't have to guess: A.) If you leave the drives in while switching modes the drives will be wiped. B.) If you have two RAID sets and you wanna use the same enclosure and swap between the two sets, make sure you're already on the mode they are in before you put them in. So if you are going from normal to RAID 5 for example, LEAVE THE DRIVES OUT when switching modes or they'll get wiped. If this case is already in RAID 5 you can put in the drives before you turn them on, or push them in after you turn it on just make sure you put all drives in before it's ready. Failure to do this will cause a rebuild or a crashed RAID set. C.) The order doesn't matter. I rearranged the 4 drives so they were all in different slots, and it didn't affect the RAID working or the data on them. (WONDERFUL UPGRADE FROM PREVIOUS competitor box) So anyways yes you can buy 1 enclosure and swap multiple RAID sets of drives and leave other ones offline. Rebuild is automatic. If you have a failed drive just pop it out put another one in and the other 3 goes to work right away for RAID 5. Build quality overall is very basic, but the tool-less caddy design is a super quality of life upgrade if you plan to swap sets of disks. This case storage wise handles 20TB so far with no issues. The only remaining test I want to do since the J-Marvell controller might be compatible is try putting a RAID set of drives from my mediasonic ProRAID collection into this case and see if it mounts the datapool correctly. Haven't had a chance to do that yet and would be epic if it was compatible. Definitely recommend this just keep in mind the fan is a bit small and you may want to increase ventilation if you plan to hammer the RAID with I/O all day (get a cheap $5 fan), The case is not 100% silent but no where near the loudness some complain about. Customer service has so far been responsive hopefully never need them. Happy data hoarding! Review: Genau wie erwartet. - Das Festplattengehäuse nutze ich als RAID und habe damit mein NAS erweitert.

Läuft stabil und war 100% kompatibel zu meinen Festplatten und Plänen. Die Einrichtung war ebenfalls einfach. Klare Empfehlung. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good looking, very easy to set up and use *by J***N on 3 January 2025* I had a Western Digital NAS drive that was no longer supported. Removed the drives from the NAS and re-formatted them. Slid them to the Cenmate 4, and it was then simply plug and play. One thing to note, it is essentially a USB drive, so it needs to be 'ejected' to close it down correctly, before the computer is turned off. It is currently working a treat, and shows up as 1,2,3 or 4 separate internal hard drives in Windows explorer. ## Frequently Bought Together - CENMATE 4 Bay Hard Drive RAID Enclosure with Cooling Fan for 2.5/3.5" SATA HDD/SSD with USB A/C 3.0＋eSATA Cable, 3.5 Hard Drive Reader Supports 80TB Capacity, 8 RAID Modes, DAS(NO NAS) - StarTech.com 2 Port PCI Express SATA 6 Gbps eSATA Controller Card - Dual Port PCIe SATA III Card - 2 Int/2 Ext - SATA III 6Gbps (PEXESAT322I) - Cable Matters 2-Pack 6 Gbps Shielded eSATA Cable - 3 Feet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/655326445-4-bay-hard-drive-raid-enclosure-for-2-5-3](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/655326445-4-bay-hard-drive-raid-enclosure-for-2-5-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
