Review on 📁 ORICO USB3.0 to SATA III 2.5" External HDD Enclosure - Tool Free, UASP Supported by Glen Needham

There really isn't anything special about this item and it's exactly what I expected when I placed the order. I repair computers and also like to fix old laptops or upgrade cheaper ones with SSD and RAM. This means I often have to clone a new drive or erase an old one after an upgrade so it can be reused. This requires simple construction and easy replacement. The lid of it slides off with enough effort. If you've ever had a Texas Instruments calculator, think sliding covers, and that's the feel. The 2.5-inch drive slides in easily, but with enough authority that I don't have to worry about unreliable connections. Plug it into your car and you're done. I have an old Linux machine that I use to wipe disks with the shred command. can load it, plug it in, run some commands and walk away while the drive is being erased and rewritten. Sanity check and I can map these slow drives to a RAID configuration for a reliable backup, a cheap repair/replacement process for a dying drive or just as a cloned backup for a critical machine. Of course you could use it to carry around an expansion drive, but since spindle drives are cheap and not as shockproof as their Flash counterparts are, I saw value in something that emphasized redundancy, security, flexibility and compatibility, and I got it. This product is no more or less than it should be and for me that makes a huge difference.
