NO US Power Adapter Included

This item comes with a foreign power adapter (the product is made in China so I am assuming the plug will fit an Asian outlet). To make something useless. Unless you buy an adapter. The photo in the listing description shows a US plug, so the product description on the Revain website is misleading. The case is NOT USB powered, it MUST be connected to 120V. Without electricity, it is just a protective cover.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Commercial Availability

Perfect Now: Hard Drive Accessories

USB-C Model Usage: Easily see what drive you're using. Easily removable cover for quick tool-free disc changes. The USB-C connection is reliable and fast. 2 different colored lights indicate if the drive is powered on and if the drive is in use. A USB-C to USB-3 cable is included. Even with intensive reading and writing, the case and drive remain cool even without a fan. : The light is a bit bright, not sure if it can be dimmed or turned off. If you want to use USB-C to USB-C, you need aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent Performance
Cons
  • Upgrades

Great looking hard drive case

Received the new 3.5 inch USB external hard drive case from ORINCO today. I'll install it and test drive it. Pros: This is a good case, you can see what hard drive you have without using stickers to remind you. Easy to open and install disc, easy to close, no tools required. It has a rubber bumper mount inside the case to prevent the hard drive from moving. The only thing I would change is (add some rubber dots or feet) to make the bottom of the case non-slip, otherwise very nice for the price.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • There are downsides

Make no mistake! for hard drive accessories

I am a musical instrument maker and I use a computer in my workshop for setup and note taking. Taking notes helps create continuity in the tools. It's like a running log with issues, adjustments, and the like. So you can imagine how distraught (actually devastated) I was when the old laptop I was using died and I lacked the data I needed. I ordered this case, pulled a floppy disk out of an old laptop and put it in the case. Not only was I able to recover all my data, but now I have an extraโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Neutral

They look great, but the "gasket " inside helps strengthen the drive.

Looks good, but the "pad" inside that supports the hard drive is twice as thick as necessary, so our devices never close completely. This support pad was pulled out and replaced with half a thin pad. some kind of pain They're pretty slick too, and I suspect that if I wear 3 together, the middle one might pop off like butter. But for a single disc on a table or shelf that can lie flat, they look fine. I would have preferred a flat side face for vertical stacking AND heat dissipation holes, butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Some difficulties

much room for improvement

where to start. It has ZERO ventilation, it only has spacers for the front and back of the hard drive. The top, bottom and both sides can freely touch the case, but this does not prevent the hard drives from directly bouncing relative to the top and bottom. Keep the disc steady, but not long enough to store and move it. As for the sliding cover, it's unnecessarily difficult to open and close, and when closed, one of the two corners on the SATA side always seems to want to stick out of theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • many will do it
Cons
  • expensive insurance

Fast, Looks Cool: Computer Accessories & Peripherals

I put in a 4TB 7200rpm hard drive and a USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 2 cable from Revain Basics used instead of an included USB-CA cable. My PC has a USB Type C 3rd Gen 1 port and I really wanted to use it. The speed test I ran seems to show that the case is actually accessing the hard drive at full speed. It's slow compared to SSDs, but the capacity-to-cost ratio still gives HDDs a distinct advantage when it comes to large amounts of storage. The case feels cheap, which is not surprising given that it's

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
