ORICO USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure for 3.5/2.5 Inch SATA Hard Drives/SSD Up to 20 TB, 3.5'' Tool-Free HDD Enclosure with 12V/2A Power Supply and UASP Acceleration (3588US3)

Worked perfectly. Easy to put the drives into and take out of the case

I just pulled a 3 TB HDD from my machine as I upgraded. It works fine, but I didn't want to burden the power supply anymore, while I do have an M.2 alternative. This enclosure is the best solution to create a backup drive that sit on the desk, and is used to have a redundant copy of all the data. The plastic/ metal combination is very well made and it's very sturdy. The charger gave me a hard time trying to install the socket head to the brick, but it wasn't a deal breaker. The USB cable has ample length and works great. The drive was a bit loose inside the container, but the manufacturer thought of that so they included a sponge with double-sided tape that you can put where it's needed, and it works. One more thing, the pamphlet doesn't tell you how to open the incluser correctly. Please slide it horizontally and don't pull it up (as the sketch on the pamphlet shows). It slides out.

This enclosure works perfectly and was ready to go in less than a minute. It's a tool-less design so all you really have to do is slide off the cover, pop in your drive, and close it up. My drive sat a bit loose in the enclosure, but they provide two foam pads (one thick, one thin) to make the fit more snug. I stuck the thick pad down on the lid towards the end away from the ports, and it immediately stopped any rattling and clunking when moving it around. The lid feels a bit too easy to slide off, which isn't terribly confidence inspiring. However it still seems to hold well even if the latch disengages. I wasn't able to feel much wiggle room when I pulled on the cover, you have to slide it all the way out for it to come off. For the price, I'll give it a pass on this point. In the enclosure my hard drive mounts like any other removable storage, and it fully supports SMART. The drive supports USB 3 over its USB-C port, which is more than sufficient for my mechanical drive. Using the included USB-A to USB-C cable, I hit about 150 MB/s read speeds, which is pretty close to the drive's performance over SATA. I didn't bother to test write speeds since it's an SMR drive, so it would be limited by the drive itself. I noticed read speeds dropping after a few benchmarks, though I'm not sure whether that's because of the enclosure or the drive itself. The drive will even go into standby after a period of inactivity, just like it did when I had it in my desktop. Do note that pressing the power button will cause the drive to immediately power off without confirmation. It doesn't unmount or wait until it's finished writing, it will instantly cut power to the drive. I wished it would've taken at least a long press to power off. To summarize, I'm pretty happy with this drive, and it seems to be one of the few nicer enclosures that supports USB-C.

The WD Purple 3tb HHD fit easily into the enclosure. It turned on with no issue. Windows 11 recognized it right away, initialized and assigned drivers. However, the quick format did not work. I am attempting a full format. There are some technical set up operations that I am not familiar with as a novice. I don't know how to go into the bios and make setting changes, etc. I was hoping this was just plug and play and that Windows could do all the work. I've had to reach out to Orico support to get help formatting my disk. Windows has assigned a drive "D" and says the drive is okay, but I think I need to change something in Windows settings to get it to format. I am not a computer technician, so I wasn't wanting some technical issue right off the bat. I see the pdf instructions, but they are not clear enough for me to follow. The full formatting worked. It took over six hours. My computer has UEFI as default, so that was not needed as a setting change. My USB is 3.0 and it defaults to RAID in the SATA settings. The 3tb must have been too large for the quick format. Every time I buy a new tech device, it's a learning adventure, even something as simple as this device. I am using this with Blue Iris camera security. Update: I'm taking away a star, because support for this product never responded and their phone number is an international number. So, not too sure the product support is dependable. Update: They finally responded to my email 7 days later. Still 4 stars for such a late response.

Nice external enclosures. Easy no tool installation. So far it’s working flawlessly

So far, so good. I tried prior to this to buy a Sabrient product with the same usage. The Sabrient version had nicer materials like an aluminum casing, and fancy lights, however, the tech didn't work well. It kept randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. The ORICO version seems to stay connected, and work properly, which is what I most wanted. It seems to work well so far, even though the casing is made out of cheaper plastic materials. It's everything I wanted. I highly endorse this product.

The build seems sturdy and when you plug in the hard drive it stays plugged very firmly, no wiggles. There’s a little blue LED light indicating it’s turned on. Easy to use, just two cables (power to the socket and USB to the PC). I think the top cover is pretty useless as it just traps the heat. Very cheap and effective. You can hear a bit of the noise when the HDD is in use but that’s expected.

O produto é muito bom, é uma marca reconhecida pela qualidade, preço razoável. Apesar de importado, veio rápido sem problemas.
