Key Features

1. Hybrid Storage Architecture

The D5‑Hybrid can hold 2 SATA drives (HDD/SSD) and 3 M.2 NVMe SSDs in one enclosure, letting you combine large‑capacity storage with high‑speed SSD performance. HDDs are great for big, rarely accessed files (cold data), while NVMe SSDs are ideal for frequently used files (hot data).

2. 10 Gbps High‑Speed Transfer

It uses a USB3.2 Gen2 Type‑C interface, delivering up to 10 Gbps data bandwidth. This means fast transfer speeds when backing up or accessing files:

• Up to ~980 MB/s with a single NVMe SSD

• ~960 MB/s with SATA SSDs in RAID 0

• ~520 MB/s with HDDs in RAID 0
  Speeds depend on the drives you use.

3. Exclusive 2+3 RAID Mode

The SATA bays (the two 3.5″/2.5″ slots) can be configured in RAID 0, RAID 1, JBOD, or single disk to balance performance and data protection for those drives. The three NVMe slots operate as individual disks, which is perfect for fast access to active data (no RAID needed).

4. Tool‑Free Drive Installation

The enclosure features tool‑free trays and TerraMaster’s “Push‑Lock” design, so you can install or swap drives quickly without screws or tools — ideal if you upgrade or change drives often.

5. Intelligent Cooling & Noise Reduction

It has an intelligent temperature‑controlled fan that adjusts speed based on drive temperature. This keeps drives cool and helps reduce noise. The enclosure’s design includes sound‑absorbing panels, resulting in quiet operation, including low noise in standby.

6. Hard Drive Sleep Mode

To reduce wear and save energy, the D5‑Hybrid supports hard drive sleep that syncs with your computer’s sleep mode, reducing unnecessary spin‑time and extending drive lifespan.

7. Broad Compatibility

The USB‑C port works with many systems and protocols (USB 3.x, USB4, Thunderbolt 3/4 connections) and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it easy to use with most computers.

8. Backup Software Included

TerraMaster offers TPC Backupper (Windows) so you can schedule automatic backups of folders or partitions to the enclosure — helping protect important files without manual effort.
