Oyen Digital Fortis 5C 5-Bay USB-C Hard Drive Array

The Oyen Digital Fortis 5C is a five-bay external array aimed at users who have outgrown single-drive solutions. With 40TB pre-installed and a USB-C 10Gbps (USB 3.2) connection, it targets photographers, videographers, and small studios that need a large, dependable pool of storage without stepping up to a full network-attached system. What sets it apart from a basic multi-bay enclosure is the bundled SoftRAID Premium license, software that lets owners build, manage, and keep an eye on their array rather than settling for a fixed configuration.

Construction leans toward the rugged. An aluminum housing handles heat and rigidity, while a silicone rubber sleeve wraps the exterior for a measure of shock protection. The five drive trays are removable and each is secured by a key lock, a detail that matters in shared studios or offices where accidental removal or tampering is a real concern. In the box, Oyen includes the Fortis 5C itself, a USB-C cable, a USB-A cable, a power adapter, a user guide, the SoftRAID Premium license, and a key set. A 3-year warranty rounds out the package, signaling the unit is built for the long, steady hours a storage array is expected to log.
