Product Introduction
ORICO95 series RU3 is a multi-bay 3.5 Inch SATA hard drive enclosure. Aluminum alloy
material coupled with a quiet fan, making it a good heat-dissipation performance.
Meanwhile it is designed with over current, short circuit protections for the disk and
data. This series integrates RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID 5, RAID 10, Big and Normal
modes. RAID 0 mode provides you with fast file transfer experience, and RAID 1 mode
provides you with safe file backup, RAID 3 and RAID 5 are the most ideal choice for
creating secure backups, while RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0; Big mode
can help you to combine multiple hard drives for easier data management. Normal
mode is that all hard drives do not form any RAID or group and can run independently.
In terms of transmission, the theoretical transmission speed of USB3.0 high-speed
interface can reach 5Gbps.

•Note
1. Introduction of RAID Mode
This product supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID 5, RAID 10, Big and Normal.
RAID 0: Merge all HDD’s capacity in the HDD enclosure and upgrade its performance
(reading & writing speed).
RAID 1: Two HDDs in the HDD enclosure can backup each other, cannot upgrade its
performance (reading & writing speed) and It can support self-restoration function
(RAID 0 and SPAN modes cannot support this function), which makes files restored
when mistakes and faults occur.
PS: RAID 1 can only support 2 HDDS.
RAID 3 and RAID 5 require 3 or more hard drives, one of which will be used for
backup data, and the remaining hard drives will be combined for your use.
RAID 3 or RAID 5 not only ensures data security, but also provides certain
performance improvements. It is the most economical RAID solution and is suitable for
most users.

7
RAID 10= RAID 0 + RAID 1
Big= Merge all HDD’s capacity in the HDD enclosure to make it easy to manage but
cannot upgrade its performance.
Normal= Normal state, all HDDs in the HDD enclosure work independently without
forming any RAID modes.
2. RAID mode needs two or mode HDDs.
3. Please backup all files before setting or changing RAID mode, because all files stored
in HDDs in the HDD enclosure will be cleared while operating this.
4. Please don’t change HDD bay’s order under RAID mode to prevent its unstable
running.
5. Please don’t remove the HDD in the HDD enclosure under RAID mode. You should
delete the hardware and exit media on the computer before removing the HDD.
6. All HDDs work independently and are displayed on computer without forming any
RAID modes under Normal mode.
Attention: Removing or inserting another HDD under this mode will restart the HDD
enclosure and make other HDDs disconnected temporarily. So, removing or adding
HDD after powered off is recommended.
7. Please confirm Normal mode before setting or changing RAID mode or you could
set PM mode in advance before setting or changing RAID mode.
8. Do not change the order of the disks under RAID mode to avoid data loss.
9. HDD is precision equipment and RAID is precision system. Please backup your files
all the time and operate it carefully to avoid any data mistakes or data loss resulted
from improper operations.
•Set RAID through RAID Control Switch
1. Turn off the HDD enclosure and HDDs, switch the RAID control switch to “PM”
position, press “Set” button and turn on the power switch of the HDD enclosure. PM
mode will be set successfully in about 10s. It will buzz when the setting is
completed.
2. Turn off the HDD enclosure and HDDs again, switch the RAID control switch to your
required RAID mode position, press “Set” button and turn on the power switch of
HDD enclosure. Required RAID mode will be set in about 10s. It will buzz when the
setting is completed.
3. HDD or HDD group that has been set RAID mode will be displayed on computer
later and it can be started to use after initiating and partitioned formatting. Please
try to restart the HDD enclosure and computer or reset RAID mode if HDDs or HDD
group aren’t displayed on computer.

8
Press and hold the “SET” button, then boot the enclosure, and release the SET
button after about 10 seconds, the RAID mode is successfully set.
Note: After the RAID is successfully formed, a new hard disk will be generated. It
must be initialized and formatted before it can be used normally.
