Question 1

At unit the model you can set raid. can i set raid 5 start with 3 drives & later expand/grow array size by adding drive #4 and #5 without losing data?

Accepted Answer

I have the same problem with Yottamaster 5-bay raid enclosure.  I started with 3 drives, and now want to add drives to the remaining 2 bays.

You earlier said "Then the array will have to be rebuilt to expand the storage area contact with us if you need any help."

Please provide a detailed step-by-step procedure for capacity expansion, from 3-bays to full 5-bays.  Thanks.

Question 3

Can it be powered with a regular 5V wall adapter?

Accepted Answer

1. No it cannot it's a 12v4A device so 5v is cannot power this enclosure

Question 4

The 5 bay usb c version says its usb 3.1 but the transfer speed of 5gbs. 3.1 is 10gps. is just an error in the description?

Accepted Answer

No, an error implies that it was not done intentionally- looking at the other Yottamaster listings with USB 3.1 being used to indicate a 10Gbps transfer speed on some 2bay RAID as well as a 5bay enclosure (note lack of RAID) and then there is this listing for the 4/5bay with RAID and “usb 3.1 type c” lending the impression that like other yottamaster listings with that phrasing this too operates at 10Gbps but the seller suddenly doesn’t have their USB versions straight. Riiight.

It stinks of deception and just barely plausible deniability.

Bait and switch.
