Review on ORICO 4 Bay Type-C to SATA Aluminum Alloy External HDD/SSD Storage Drive Enclosure WS400C3 – 3.5 inch, Screw Installation, Data Safe Protection, Enterprise Backup Support up to 64TB (4x16) by Shane Grosland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

all aluminum? NO!

"The aluminum alloy case has good heat dissipation, which allows the heat generated during use to be accelerated by the wind." The bezel requires the removal of four small (non-captive) Torx screws, which are basically the same screws are used to attach drives to rails. I say mostly because the screw bag actually contains two screw types that are almost identical except for the thread pitch! Good luck sharing! Why they couldn't use thumbscrews or captive screws on the case (and captive/thumbscrews on the rails would be a bonus) is beyond me. Needless to say, I didn't even bother turning it on, putting it back in the box, and back again. to Revain and I will look elsewhere. (I've been using Mediasonic Probox cases for years, and it's a big step up in quality and design.)
