About this product

This ORICO external hard drive enclosure is designed for single 3.5-inch SATA HDDs, and is also compatible with 2.5-inch drives. It features a USB 3.0 interface (5Gbps) with output options for USB 3.0 Type-B or USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C. The enclosure is constructed from aluminum alloy and ABS plastic, providing a blend of durability and lightweight design. It utilizes screw fixation for installation and comes in black. The unit measures 180mm x 120mm x 30mm and is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, offering basic dustproof features.

Our take

If you need a simple, durable enclosure for a single 3.5-inch drive (or 2.5-inch), this ORICO unit is a practical choice. The combination of aluminum alloy and ABS plastic should provide decent protection and help with heat dissipation. I appreciate the option for either USB 3.0 Type-B or USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C output, offering good modern connectivity with 5Gbps speeds. While screw fixation isn't as convenient as tool-free designs, it ensures a secure fit for your drive, which some users prefer. For its modest price, it's a solid, functional enclosure for making an internal drive external.
