TerraMaster D4-320 Disk Enclosure ReviewI recently bought the TerraMaster D4-320 Disk Enclosure and paired it with Patriot P20 SSDs. While the enclosure is incredibly functional and fast, I faced a major problem during setup. The SATA connectors didn't connect properly to the Patriot P20 SSDs, which caused a lot of frustration. I had to find creative ways to secure the SATA disks to the bracket. Once I overcame that issue, the disk enclosure worked flawlessly and met my expectations in all other areas.Despite this initial setup challenge, the TerraMaster D4-320 is an excellent performer. It's fast, reliable, and has a great build quality. It's a solid choice for anyone looking for a dependable disk enclosure.If you're planning to use it with Patriot P20 SSDs, be prepared to do some tinkering during setup.

I had a 2012 Mac Pro (the last great Mac of all time) that had 4 internal hard drives of varying size, including 2x set in MacOS (software) mirrored RAID. I installed all these drives into the enclosure, plugged it into my new M4 Mac mini and bam, the drives came up without issue, including the Mirror!I use my desktop purely as a home backup solution so I don’t need speed or extra features and this exactly fits the bill.Fan is relatively quiet. Quieter than you’d expect when 4 spinning disk drives are cranking away. The noise of the drive platters is louder than the enclosure fan.I like that the enclosure powers down when the computer shuts off.Keep in mind, this is a no-frills USB enclosure. That means if you have 4 different drives doing 4 different data accessing, it will all fight to go over that single USB cable. Speed is not a feature of this enclosure in that use case.If you have 4 drives set in a single (software) RAID, great. Otherwise, think of this box as a cheap and simple way to mount 4 disks of any time and size.My storage set up is 2x 4TB Seagate Barracuda set in Mirrored RIAD and 2x 8TB Seagate Barracuda set in Mirrored RIA via MacOS DiskUtility. Its sole purpose is to backup my cloud services to local storage and my phone photo library backups.Now don’t get me started on they horrible placement of the new Mac mini power button!!

It is exactly as described in the description of product.No second thoughts on buying. Using it as partial RAID and simple storage for homelab.For mounting SSDs, screws are provided, this information is missed out in the product package contents.R/W Speeds match the described information.

I was looking for a 4 bay enclosure and all my research on the enclosures on Amazon seemed to have different type of issues. This 4 bay enclosure had only 1 review and so I went to the company website to look for the specks. I had to replace a Maiwo 4 bay that stopped working in 14 months and it past its warranty. I decided to try it even though it is more expensive based on what I saw on the company website. So far this enclosure is great. Easy to open and install the hard drives, no screws needed to open the enclosure and truly its plug and play. It is very silent in terms of the fan. It is bigger than some of the others but that gives it plenty room for airflow to cool the enclosure. It is fast in Data transfer but I cannot tell actual speeds. Does not get hot to touch. Vey happy so far. High recommend it.

This is the second Terramaster I have tried, and would not recommend them at all. This model is specifically advertised as being hot swappable but it does no such thing, at least on Windows. First of all, there is no way to tell which disk is which when trying to safely eject - every bay has the exact same name turn up on the safely eject hardware menu. And if you get lucky and eject the right one, that bay becomes unusable. It will no longer recognise a new drive that is plugged into it without powering down the entire enclosure and restarting it. Just rubbish.

It’s being alternately accessed by a 16” M1 Max MacBook Pro and a high-powered mini PC with a AMD Ryzen 9 6900 CPU. Both easily recognize the device and have no issues accessing the various drives. Furthermore, both windows 10 and macOS Sonoma had no issues with partitioning, formatting, and so on. I use three different partitioning schemes, APFS, NTFS, and exFAT. So far, all drives have performed flawlessly. Therefore, it seems to me that the device from a spec compliance perspective is designed well. I’ve only had it for a little over two months, so I cannot comment on longevity. However, based on the current experience, my hopes are very high.

I can confirm that this works with the latest Mac computer. Connection speed with internal SSD is 500 MB/sec which is what was advertised ("With just one SSD installed, the read speed reaches 510 MB/s (SATA III 1TB SSD"). As well, I was able to have SMART data reporting with the app DriveDx but that required installation of a system extension. Instructions were provided by the developer, but not every enclosure will report SMART data. Overall, very pleased.

Received this today. Took about 25 minutes to install 4 drives and power it up. Extremely quiet! It sits at the foot of my chair right now (until I rearrange some things when I get a longer USB C - USB C cable), and I literally cannot even hear it.I needed to do something with my individual backup drives that the USB connectors had worn enough that they were so loose that they'd often disconnect the drive at the slightest bump - which can be deadly to data if the drive is writing at the time. The USB C connectors are much more secure than the stupid "double D" connectors that many external drives use. I removed the drives themselves from their external cases (had to break one, because I could find no way to open it) and installed them in the trays on this enclosure. Didn't even need the included hardware, as the 3.5" drives have nifty side pieces that snap into the screw holes on the drive. (the screws included are for mounting 2.5" drives, not needed for 3.5" drives)So now, just one data cable, with a more secure physical connection, faster data flow (USB C 3.2 [supposedly up to 10 gB/s] vs. USB 2.0 [480 mB/s), and just one one power cord. Plus, drives are hot-swappable, so I can rotate backups to my safe and my offsite storage without powering the whole thing down.So far, so good.
