Supporting RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, and SINGLE modes, it offers up to 28TB storage capacity and multi-screen display capabilities for up to 3 monitors. Its robust aluminum build and active cooling ensure reliability during intensive tasks like 4K video editing, while 15W power delivery keeps your laptop charged. ## Description TerraMaster D5 Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) 5-Bay Enclosure for External Hard Drives, Compatible with RAID0/RAID1/Single Mode Hard Drive Raid Storage (No Disk) Review: Great for Video editing workflow - I have this set up as raid 0 for bays 1 and 2 and single discs for the other 3. Using a couple of WD Red Pro disks in in the raid 0 configuration as my FCPX library working drive, and attached via Thunderbolt 3, this set up allows me to edit in 4k in real time, with no stuttering or lags, even when applying complex effects. I use the other 3 bays for original media and back up, so I have everything in one package. The set up was very easy, no special skills required. I cannot comment on the longevity of the system of course as it has only been running for a few weeks, but I suspect it would be the disks themselves (bought separately), that are the possible failure points. But as long as a proper backup system is used, there will be no problems. I hope this is useful for others wishing to use this for intensive video editing. If you are only editing in HD, then the cheaper USB C version of this would be more than adequate, as it is the disks themselves that are the speed limiting factor (unless you use SSDs), or if you were using 4K but happy to use proxy media. Review: Doesn't work with Apple Big Sur. Don't waste your time - Tried to get it to run. Installed, transferred all my stuff. Worked well under Catalina. Then installed Big Sur. Reboots with a scream every 20 minutes. TerraMaster admit to not having tested it on the grounds that "For a direct attached storage, you just need to make sure your computer support the Thunderbolt 3 interface and follow the Thunderbolt 3 protocol, no matter PC or MAC. that’s closed related to computer hardware instead of OS. Compare to the OS, the model number is more critical issue you need to concern before you purchase your device. That’s why the OS update testing is not an hurry issue from our plan." The criticality of the model number remains unexplained in any publicly-available documentation. At some point they may test against Big Sur: "As the team got a long working list, but after an internal discussion, I am sucessful to convince the product team to give the Big Sur test better priority. But that's going to take some time, I will keep you update." Possibly. ## Features - Portable design for professionals especially those with strict speed and safety requirements, including 4K video editing.

Not quite how it is, after only a month od use I have had a worrying Drive failure and to be honest my confidence in this unit has taken a hit. Service response via email and chat has not really got to a conclusion I think returns my confidence. The initial setup with 5 x Seagate Ironwolf Pro 8TB drive went without issue. Setup as RAID 5 (4 data + 1 for parity - no spare). The transfer of my photos took a reasonably quick time from the other drives I was using and again there were no incidents. The 32TB capacity was then sitting around 25TB. Initial Blackmagic speed tests were good, and then dropped as the drive became fuller. Issue was after a trip away for 10 days I came back with my Mac Studio offline and the alarm on the Terramaster. There was also a orange led next to the D1 position. I tried restarting and also used the RAID Manage Pro app to see what the event log said, and it said the D1 had failed and the attempts to rebuild got 1 or 2% complete and then failed again. Support got the logs and other data and suggested I replace the faulty drive. I didn't have another so I had to buy another. On replacing that a few days later it failed to rebuild with the new drive. After multiple attempts and, at the time, no support answering chat, I decided to return the original HDD to then see it start the rebuild again and, for some reason, complete. I now have the array back running with no errors, but it leaves me worried it may happen again, and I am still not wiser about whether it was the Raid Array issue or a Seagte drive issue. I also now have a new, just opened, 8TB drive I didn't need, or do I? So, the unit looks good, and when it works, it's good, but the reliability of a month-old product in charge of protecting precious files is not where I wanted it to be. Approach this unit cautiously, and if your files are that important to you, perhaps look elsewhere. ## Frequently Bought Together - TERRAMASTER D2 Thunderbolt 3 40Gbps 2-Bay Hardware RAID Storage RAID 0/RAID1/JBOD/SINGLE Hard Disk RAID Storage (Diskless) - Seagate IronWolf 4TB, NAS, Internal Hard Drive, CMR, 3.5 Inch, SATA, 6GB/s, 5.400 RPM, 256MB Cache, for RAID Network Attached Storage, Data Rescue Services (ST4000VNZ06) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/131819060-terramaster-d5-thunderbolt-3-professional-grade-5-bay-external-hard](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/131819060-terramaster-d5-thunderbolt-3-professional-grade-5-bay-external-hard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
