Review on ORICO 4 Bay USB3.0 Aluminum Alloy External Hard Drive Enclosure - Up to 64TB Storage Capacity by Justin Sharp

Revainrating 2 out of 5

all aluminum? NO!

"Aluminum alloy body has good heat dissipation, which can accelerate the heat generated during use by wind." The internal parts are lined with plastic on four sides, and the guides are made of thick plastic with no ventilation. On the front panel you need to remove four small (captive) torx screws, which are basically the same screws used to attach the drives to the rails. I say mostly because the screw bag actually contains two screw types that are almost identical except for the thread pitch! Good luck sharing! Why they couldn't use thumbscrews or captive screws on the case (and captive/thumbscrews on the rails would be a bonus) is beyond me. Needless to say, I didn't even bother turning it on, putting it back in the box, and back again. to Revain and I will look elsewhere. (I've been using Mediasonic Probox cases for years, and it's a big step up in quality and design.)

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Faulty
