Review on 💾 Tccmebius USB 3.0 to SATA Docking Station: External Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5/3.5 Inch SATA I/II/III HDD SSD, up to 10TB, UASP & Automatic Sleep Function Supported, Tool-Free Installation (TCC-S8) by Duane Mejia

Excellent product for several reasons 1) Unlike most of the competition, the power supply is built in, which means one less power supply to deal with, and you need to have a replacement if you lose the original. 3) The power switch is on the side instead of the top, so there is no risk of turning the device on or off when you put something on it, e.g. B. Another identical hard drive case. 4) The USB 3.0 connector on the device uses the standard USB A-type design, identical to the familiar dimensions of the USB 2.0 A-type connector, instead of the short-footed USB 3.0 micro-B connector , which is one of the worst designs ever made. The USB 3.0 Micro B connection is never reliable and easily fails. USB Type-A ports do not have this problem. A USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-male cable is included with the device.5) A more compact enclosure for a 3.5-inch hard drive with an integrated power supply could probably not be designed. However, the fact that it's made of plastic and not aluminum means that it needs to be handled with care. In addition, there is minimal ventilation, although there appears to be a small built-in fan. If the drive gets hot, consider cooling it with an inexpensive USB-powered external fan. 6) The icing on the cake will be the inclusion of the "on" indicator; Let's hope this is part of a redesign. 7) Comprehensive, clear, illustrated instructions are a bonus. Manuals for foreign-made devices, especially those made in China, are often poorly translated and incomprehensible; there is nothing wrong with this product. 8) The installation is a "click”, both literally and figuratively; It only takes a minute or two. 9) Nice finishing touches include a small Phillips screwdriver for installing the four screws that secure the hard drive to the bottom of the case, and an extra screw in case you lose one of the baddies. .10) Finally, although it has nothing to do with this product, I would like to mention that I always make a copy of the hard drive label that I install in such an enclosure and stick it on the enclosure. That way I don't try to find out later what's inside. 11) Kudos to Tccmebius for a great design that shows a lot of thought.
