Well made case

This is my fourth or fifth Orico hard drive case. I work on a PC and I always have a lot of hard drives from broken machines and they are great for reusing those hard drives. This one in particular couldn't be easier to use. Simply remove the back cover, insert the drive and close the cover. It also looks quite nice and has a small blue LED built into the top that blinks along with hard drive activity. Not too bright to be obnoxious, and I wish more manufacturers would take that advice. You…

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • High price

Available external storage; easy to use

Background: I used this external drive enclosure when trying to clone my laptop hard drive to a new SSD; I then used the case to house my existing 2TB drive as a storage device. The body is made of plastic. This makes the case very light, but feels a bit wobbly. Once the case is closed, the entire unit seems strong enough to prevent the sliding door from accidentally opening. The USB 3.0 cable is short (about 6 inches) but adequate. Installation. To install a SATA drive, simply remove the…

110 MB/s Conclusion Works great with the included cable

This is the speed test result you'd like to know. c to USB 3.0) Read: 380 MB/s. Write: 200MB/s. With USB-c to USB-c cable. ) Read: 110 MB/s Write: 110 MB/s Reference (Sabrent USB 3.0 Enclosure) - Same SSD Read: 380 MB/s Write: 200 MB/s - Same HDD Read: 110 MB/s Write: 110 MB/s Conclusion Works great with the supplied cable. I think it can transfer up to 500MB/s which is what they promised. Since the USB-C to USB-C cable doesn't work, don't expect more than 500MB/s (5Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 1 speed)).

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Big and chunky

IMPORTANT: READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE BUYING OR GUESS DOWNLOAD

Don't listen to these reviews that say the case doesn't work. Only two downsides to this corpus: 1. These people obviously don't know how to use Windows, or at least Google or YouTube (not to mention their brains).2. The manufacturer doesn't know what needs to be done to make your hard drive actually WORK. If it doesn't, then it's either a bad drive, a bad cable, or the case itself, which means you have a problem. Like all your gear. works, you will be fine if you follow these steps: 1. Place…

USB 2.0 chipset?!?[Solved! This is a USB3 chipset] puzzles? Bad cable?!? [Spoilers, yes]

Please note that this review applies to both the USB-C enclosure (the one this review is referencing) and the USB 3 Micro B enclosure - what of either Reason Revain seems to treat a USB-C case the same as a different "color" of the same case, if you will, and so can't do a separate review. Cases vary, read on for more details. Update: Rating changed from one star to three stars at the end of October 2018. The USB-C chassis is rated four (4) stars and the USB-3 chassis is rated one star. Orico's

Pros
  • Great
Cons
  • Almost OK
