Ease of Use: Computers and Accessories

I bought this to transfer files from a laptop SSD to a PC hard drive so I can reuse the SSD in a new laptop and need to install an OS on the SSD. It was very easy to use. It just plugged one end into a hard drive and then into a USB port on my PC. It took a little while for the PC to read the HD (larger than a regular USB drive) and show it as a new USB drive, but then I was able to just copy/cut/paste the files to my PC and reformat the drive. (like a USB stick). It made this SSD look likeโ€ฆ

Great for my broken compact external drive

I use Toshiba 1GB external drives for data storage and backup. Although they last a long time, they sometimes fail - i.e. no light inside, dead disc. I recently found out that it's mostly bad contacts/a blown tiny fuse in a socket inside the case. Youtube shows several ways to fix them with fine soldering (a skill beyond my salary). But when I removed the small circuit board, I noticed that there was a SATA connection on the other end (are these the same drives used in the laptop? Sure, itโ€ฆ

  • Handy part
Cons
  • So far so good

Great cable: SATA cable

I replaced the hard drive with an SSD in my old MacBook Pro and needed a way to connect the old hard drive via USB. I have a portable USB drive, there have been many of those, but I wanted something that wouldn't wear out or break as easily as these portable hard drive cases. The plug port always fails with frequent use. The drive itself is fine, but the case's USB port just fails. So I figured if I could find a cable that didn't require a case maybe it would last longer and I'd have fewerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

very simple, well made, fits Raspberry Pi

In case you've always wondered why you should put an SSD with its own case in *another* case to use it as a USB drive. Well there are reasons as extra armor is always good and early SATA SSDs can get hotter than today's. Breaking the SATA pins on the SSD creates a lot more chaos than breaking the extra USB port on the case. So true. But it's pretty safe these days to just plug it directly into a SATA SSD as they're very lightweight and don't put too much stress on the SATA connector. This alsoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Expensive
