Review on ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ GeeekPi RetroFlag NES Cartridge Style HDD/SSD Enclosure - Compatible with NESPi 4 Case, Raspberry Pi, Desktop, Laptop, Android TV, and HD Player by Brent Ayyagari

Not the fastest but the fastest favorite

I requested this because I have some bare SSDs that need a home and that's why. Looks! Super cute! I have to say right away, that in this case it's not about performance, in my experience read and write performance is less than 400MB/s for drives advertised at 550MB/s, but when used with a Pi4 case, it is more than fast enough. Even for the occasional backup or file transfer, it's fast enough for most situations. And the aesthetics more than make up for that. Build quality is surprisingly solid. Assembly is easy (see photo), which is good since none Instructions are included.With my SSD installed in the gray cartridge it fits snugly into the black case and puts a huge smile on my face.I would prefer to see USB-C and 10Gb/s performance though.for the price it is still great quality. No real complaints here, 5 stars. I will buy at least 1 more with my own money.

Pros
  • Easy to Use --- No external power required. Plug and play, no drivers required. Suitable for 7mm 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
