    Just bought one of these as I have a spare SSD drive kicking about doing nothing. Great bit of kit and now using for external storage 😃👌

    is USB-C interface better than Micro-B (the usual flat 10-pin assymetrical connector), i mean in terms of performance?
    i hope anyone can answer soon before i click purchase =]
    ?

    I’m having trouble taking the drive OUT! I want to put a different drive into the enclosure, but I’m having trouble pulling the old one out. You think it’d be obvious, but it’s not. I don’t want to force it. Or maybe I’m just being too careful! But it seems stuck!

    Is it safe for long term use ?

  7. @sulthanrasyid4274 on June 19, 2025 at 6:30 pm

    why is it so hard to close

  8. @bjazz68 on June 19, 2025 at 6:30 pm

    Brilliant, thank you very much.

    Great video! How much did this Orico enclosure cost you?

  10. @IyisinTabiii on June 19, 2025 at 6:31 pm

    good and instructive review

  11. @ajaguiatan213 on June 19, 2025 at 6:36 pm

    Is this plug and play? Or do u need to set up in bios to use it?

  12. @Fizzy_faizaan on June 19, 2025 at 6:37 pm

    It saves so much more money building your own custom portable SSD.

  13. @zandatsu07 on June 19, 2025 at 6:39 pm

    Is it still working for you? planning to buy one with 1TB ssd

  14. @strawman9410 on June 19, 2025 at 6:40 pm

    I believe those pads are not for a spacer. You can split them and peel one side off and place them on the bottom for feet to prevent it scratching the bottom of the SSD holder or whatever you seat it on.
    I watched your upload to try and find out how to open the clear plastic case, I was close to breaking it. Just stiff but open now.😊

  15. @Noumakara on June 19, 2025 at 6:43 pm

    I wonder how we remove ssd from the enclosure

  16. @kzero2188 on June 19, 2025 at 6:45 pm

    will it fit a 9.5mm sata hdd?

  17. @starless9 on June 19, 2025 at 6:47 pm

    Led indicator and the clear case r cool. Wish it was smoked though.

  18. @Ahmad_Al-Deeb on June 19, 2025 at 6:49 pm

    I searched for this video becaues I couldn’t open the case lol

    Turns out
    my version of this case is different

  19. @emresermutlu on June 19, 2025 at 6:52 pm

    Great informative video with everything I wanted to know and nothing else 👍

  20. @Skydrops6 on June 19, 2025 at 6:54 pm

    Thank you this was helpful

  21. @MIchaelSybi on June 19, 2025 at 6:54 pm

    What about the speed of copying from internal ssd to this one?

  22. @hdslave on June 19, 2025 at 6:55 pm

    I got this exact thing on aliexpress for $2. Had to find this video cuz I was afraid I’d break it trying to open it the wrong way lol

  23. @hiddenagenda5330 on June 19, 2025 at 6:57 pm

    My Samsung EVO SATA SSD does not work on my laptop using one of these enclosures. I read it has to be plugged into the motehrboard but on my laptop I only have a spare M.2 slot so I have been really struggling to find something that will let me read/copy my old SSD.

    Any tips?

  24. @everaldpalmer8016 on June 19, 2025 at 7:00 pm

    Thanks for getting to the point, easy to follow you with no long story or gimmick

  25. @sdunovic on June 19, 2025 at 7:01 pm

    Hi. Do you have a video of the ORICO enclosure connected to an external SSD drive ( removed from the HD shell)? In my case, the SSD has only a USB connection and it cannot connect with the ORICO enclosure. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

  26. @najcabs on June 19, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    It is ok to connect it to the cellular phone?

  27. @casualtap1794 on June 19, 2025 at 7:03 pm

    Do u know how to remove it?

  28. @patrickmonkman8151 on June 19, 2025 at 7:04 pm

    It is not being detected in my laptop, could that mean it is dead?

  29. @hamimbudiman on June 19, 2025 at 7:05 pm

    can i ask u something? is USB C faster than Micro B? because my Orico enclosure is still using Micro B cable

  30. @luke0b708 on June 19, 2025 at 7:05 pm

    Mine didn’t work out of the packet (new hard drive). I had to press windows + x then to disk management then had to press the OK button to initialize the (new) disk (GPT) then I had to scroll down to the unallocated space and right click in that. then click on New Simple Volume then Next, Next, Next and it gave it a new letter (E in my case) and quick format. Worked perfectly after that.

    hows the heat? how hot does it get? and is trim command available since its usb connected

  32. @adinnugroho6544 on June 19, 2025 at 7:10 pm

    I had done this, since July 2023. I mean purchase that enclosure to make my two 2.5" HDD usable again. And yeah, if not this September, maybe October. I will buy another enclosure for my 3.5" HDD

  33. @Hondurez7 on June 19, 2025 at 7:10 pm

    Thank you.

  34. @markkennedy7404 on June 19, 2025 at 7:13 pm

    If you live in Australia the case comes without a cable.

  35. @getrektboy on June 19, 2025 at 7:20 pm

    i think the rubber thingy is used to dampen the vibration from hdd. it should be placed on below of the hdd.

  36. @tourinojacks5844 on June 19, 2025 at 7:20 pm

    Nick, YOU are THE MAN!!! Folks locally were trying to charge me crazy money $125 to do this. They have to be out of their minds. I am not a newbie to this part. This is not rocket science, but they tried to charge me as if it was. 🙂 You are the best, sir!
