Product Description
ACASIS 5-Bay External SATA RAID Enclosure
ACASIS 5-Bay External SATA RAID Enclosure delivers flexible multi-drive storage and hardware RAID protection for creatives, small offices, and home NAS users who need fast, expandible capacity without complex setup.
Set up any of the eight hardware RAID modes using the front rotary dial, drop in 2.5" or 3.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs and connect over USB Type-C (USB 3.0) for up to 5Gbps transfer speeds. The all‑aluminum chassis, safety lock design and built‑in high‑speed fan keep drives secure and cool during sustained transfers, while the included 96W power supply ensures stable operation for five drives at once. An intelligent 10‑minute auto‑sleep reduces wear and power draw when idle.
Features and Benefits
- Supports 2.5" and 3.5" SATA HDDs and SSDs for flexible drive choices.
- 8 hardware RAID modes (RAID 0/1/3/5/10/PM/LARGE/CLONE) for performance, redundancy or capacity aggregation.
- Up to 5 Gbps USB 3.0 (USB Type-C) interface for fast file transfers.
- Safety lock design and all‑aluminum body protect drives and improve heat dissipation.
- Built‑in high‑speed cooling fan and honeycomb ventilation to keep drives cool under load.
- 96W external power supply to reliably run up to five drives simultaneously.
- 10‑minute auto‑sleep to save power and reduce drive wear when idle.
- Rotary RAID dial simplifies mode selection and reduces configuration errors compared to complex switches.

Product Q&A
-
Q: What drive types and sizes does the EC-7355 support?
A: It supports 2.5" and 3.5" SATA HDDs and SATA SSDs. Drive thickness or adapter requirements for specific 2.5" models should be checked against the drive's physical size. -
Q: Which RAID modes are available and can I change modes later?
A: The enclosure supports eight hardware RAID modes (RAID 0/1/3/5/10/PM/LARGE/CLONE). The front rotary dial selects the mode; note that changing RAID modes typically requires reinitializing drives and can erase data, so back up important data first. -
Q: What interface and transfer speeds can I expect?
A: The EC-7355 uses a USB Type-C (USB 3.0) connection with a maximum listed throughput of up to 5 Gbps. Real-world read/write speeds vary with drive type and RAID mode. -
Q: Is active cooling included and how noisy is it?
A: Yes — the enclosure has a built‑in high‑speed fan and honeycomb vents for heat dissipation. Noise level is not specified by the vendor; this model is designed for continuous operation with improved cooling versus passive enclosures. -
Q: What comes in the box and is a power adapter included?
A: The standard package includes the EC-7355 enclosure, a region-specific power adapter, a USB Type-C cable, mounting screws and a user manual.
