The box has many flaws, but it fulfills its purpose. I bought it for data backup and for this purpose I would recommend it to others, however, at a price of around 3100kč at a discount.
Nice external processing
Separate access to disks
Quite noisy - the fan runs at 100% all the time (I don't recommend having it in the same room as you sleep)
Regardless of the number of disks and their wiring, one will not always show S. M. A. R. T data (I have 4 WD Red Plus, I have dealt directly with WD and indeed the fault is on the ORICO side)
Data transfer rate ( 50Mbit/s. For a USB3.0, that's really not enough. )
Documentation
Sleeping one disk disconnects all disks and cannot be reawakened
Waking up the box via USB is missing, must be done manually via button
2 pin fan and even with a mini connector on the board. If you want to replace the fan with a quieter one, you will need either brute force or know how to use a soldering iron.

Verified purchase - review from a price comparison website
Yes, it's almost exactly what I needed. I miss starting it via USB remotely so I could have it at the server and not have to take a long walk every time. I don't want to bastardise some button via USB relay.
So basically great satisfaction.
You put five hard drives in there and through one USB cable, five of them appear in the computer where you can mount or unmount them at will. You don't need to have five SATA cables.
Data transfer is decently fast up to 30 MBi/s from what I've seen
The case is aluminum, pretty fortelny
I heard it works as a Raid, but I didn't want to, so I didn't try it.
The HDDs are screwed onto a plastic frame, so it is not very easy to remove them and put them into another reader. The same applies to the whole box - it's screwed in, so it's not made for daily removal and removal.
It starts up and shuts down with a button, so if you have it on a remote server, you can't boot it via USB.
The documentation is poor to the point of being desperately incomplete. Terms unexplained. Pictures with Chinese characters.
It doesn't have replacement frames and I don't even know if you can get any anywhere. I'd definitely use a few of them for possible backups.

Quality piece of aluminium
Easy to assemble
Can also handle 2.5" drives
hdparm -y /dev/sda puts the first disk to sleep, turns off the fan and the LEDs on all disks that continue to function
Plastic trims for discs

Orico has a perfect aluminium workmanship
Quiet and high quality
Option to set RAID
USB-B for secure connection (physically)
Plastic frames for anchoring HDD freezes on an otherwise perfectly crafted product
