TerraMaster Reveal the D5-300 RAID 5 Storage

TerraMaster is one of my favourite storage brands, as they offer a great range of home, businesses and enterprises solutions but also seem to keep things clean and simple. We’ve actually reviewed one of their 5-bay NAS last year, and it was awesome. However, today they’re introducing their new 5-bay RAID storage, which is a little bit different. It’s designed for professionals working in small office/home office (SOHO) setups. The D5-300 can support up to 90 TB of storage capacity and it comes equipped with USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C capable of reaching speeds of up to 220 MB/s.

D5-300

Instead of sitting on your network, this one is more of a DAS (Direct Attached Storage). Think of it like an external HDD on steroids, because, that’s pretty much true actually.

RAID 5

The TerraMaster D5-300 supports a wide selection of RAID modes to cater to the unique and different needs of various professionals. The RAID storage uses an aluminium-alloy chassis with two smart fans that deliver efficient cooling with low noise, keeping HDDs/SSDs cool at all times.

The TerraMaster D5-300 uses a high-speed USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C SUPERSPEED+ protocol to deliver fast data transfer speeds of up to 220 MB/s with Seagate IronWolf 4 TB HDDs in RAID 0. The USB-C port also offers support for a wide selection of devices from ultrabooks to PCs.

High-Capacity Storage with Flexible RAID Support

This allows professional users to use the suitable RAID mode according to their needs.

For professionals in need of pure high-speed performance, the D5-300 supports RAID 0 that delivers maximum speeds, for a good balance between performance and reliability, the D5-300 also supports RAID 5 mode. For a balance between mirroring and striping, the D5-300 also supports RAID 10.
