Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Enhanced Hard Drive Power Switch Module for 2.5 inch / 3.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD: Ultimate 4-Way Controller with TVS Protection by Nestor Orbita

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Defective solder joints

I wouldn't risk my power supply or my hard drives by connecting to this board! Under the microscope you can see that the solder joints (especially the 15-pin drive power connector) are of poor quality: very tight pads (poor quality PCB drawings) with microscopic delaminations as well as microscopic solder splatter balls lying on the excess. / Raw flux. Cold solder joints. Gaps at some solder joints. Flux residue will remain on the underside and cannot be removed with water, detergent, or isopropyl alcohol.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Annoying
