Description

ORICO-9958C3 5Big RAID DAS Studio: 5-Bay External RAID DAS with USB-C 10Gbps

The ORICO-9958C3 5Big RAID DAS Studio is a high-capacity, multi-bay external storage enclosure built to centralize your data and expand storage for demanding workflows. With five drive bays that support both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA SSD/HDD, it’s designed for users who need reliable local storage for large files—such as video editing projects, content creation assets, backups, and day-to-day data libraries. Compared to single-drive external storage, a 5-bay DAS setup gives you more room to scale capacity and organize drives for different purposes.

For maximum flexibility, each bay can support up to 22TB drives, enabling a supported total capacity of up to 110TB (22TB per bay across 5 bays). This makes the ORICO-9958C3 a practical choice when you’re planning long-term storage growth, archiving, or building a dedicated storage pool for creative work. If you need even more expansion, the DAS supports daisy-chaining up to three enclosures, allowing expansion up to 330TB through a single USB chain—useful for scaling storage without switching to a completely new system.

Fast USB-C Connectivity with Up to 10Gbps Transfer

Connectivity is handled through a USB-C interface with USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 support, delivering up to 10Gbps transfer speeds. This high-speed link helps reduce waiting time when moving large media files, transferring backups, or working with high-bitrate footage. It’s especially helpful for workflows where you frequently copy, edit, and re-copy data, since faster throughput can improve overall turnaround time compared to slower USB connections.

The ORICO-9958C3 is plug-and-play compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, so you can integrate it into your existing setup with minimal configuration. It also functions as a Direct Attached Storage (DAS) solution, meaning it connects directly to your computer rather than requiring a separate network storage environment. If you want RAID-style redundancy or performance behavior, software RAID can be configured at the OS level, giving you additional control based on your operating system’s capabilities.

Built for Daily Use: Durable Materials, Cooling, and Power

Designed for durability and stable operation, the enclosure uses an aluminum alloy and ABS body. This combination supports a sturdy build while helping with heat management during extended workloads. The unit includes a built-in 150W power supply, providing the power needed to run multiple drives reliably. A quiet cooling fan and ventilation system are included to help keep drives operating smoothly, which is important when you’re running sustained transfers, backups, or multi-drive workloads.

Physically, the ORICO-9958C3 measures 268*135.6*163mm and comes in a silver color finish. For convenience, it includes a 1M length cable with a USB-C to USB-A/-C connection, making it easier to place the DAS near your workstation without needing extra accessories.

What You Can Do with the ORICO-9958C3

Creative production: Store and manage video editing footage, project files, and large media libraries with fast USB-C throughput.

Backups and archiving: Use the 5-bay capacity to build a structured backup strategy and expand as your data grows.

Flexible storage planning: Start with a practical drive configuration and expand later, including daisy-chaining up to three enclosures for up to 330TB.

Software RAID support: Since it operates as DAS, you can configure software RAID through your operating system when you need redundancy or specific storage behavior.

Warranty

The ORICO-9958C3 5Big RAID DAS Studio comes with a 1-year warranty, offering added confidence for long-term use in home or professional storage setups.
