is installed, whose motherboard doesn’t have one or two M.2 solid-state drive slots? Everyone is using M.2 NVMe SSD, and most of the SATA disks are gathering dust, like the 2.5-inch disks in my hand. The unruly mechanical hard drive in the middle seems even more out of tune with the times. Well, this was ripped from an old Lenovo laptop.
It’s not that I am nostalgic. It is still very useful to transform these old guys into mobile hard drives , and the reading and writing speed will not be much different. Just get a USB3.0 box to ensure 5Gbps. Coincidentally, I bumped into Aunt Zhang and broke the news. She bought a box priced at 20 or 30 yuan for 14.9 yuan. The old guys have a new home. In this short article, I will share this cabbage hard drive box.
is made of ABS plastic material with a 4-color CP colorful shell of blue, white, pink and black. I directly chose the versatile black. I don’t have to be strict about the appearance and texture. The photo is the real thing. The transmission speed is USB3.0 5Gbps standard, which is nearly 1 GB every 2 seconds. It supports up to 6TB capacity hard drive and comes with a MicroB to USB-A data cable.
Push-pull box cover, I didn’t pay attention when opening it, there is a sponge pad with glue inside, which plays a stable and shock-proof role after the hard disk is installed.
Try this 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive that has not been powered on for a long time. Of course, I just tried it and assembled it into a mobile hard drive. Of course, SATA3.0 solid state is better. The right side of the picture below shows the location of the interface. There is a small hole next to the interface. When the hard disk is powered on and reading and writing, a blue light will shine through as a reminder (always on during sleep and flashing during reading and writing). When
was tested on the computer, I used a 500GB SATA solid-state drive from Asgard. The hard drive had been in service for a period of time before, but it had not been used much recently. It was recognized in seconds when it was plugged into the laptop. Tool-free 2.5-inch SATA hard drive boxes like
are portable and easy to disassemble and assemble. For those like me who have multiple idle 2.5-inch solid-state drives, owning one is equivalent to owning multiple mobile solid-state drives. Several brothers form a big Households, whoever uses them will go up and get electricity. It can also occupy a single disk for a long time and double as a "hard drive storage compartment" to enhance protection.
simply ran a score and used CrystalDiskMark 7 to measure continuous reading of 439MB/s and continuous writing of 372MB/s, which is consistent with the capabilities of the hard disk box and SSD.
I just wanted to post an order quickly and didn’t take many screenshots. I also tested two other SSDs and the Western Digital mechanical blue disk that I had “warmed up” before. They were all recognized normally. The only difference is that the read and write speeds of each hard disk are slightly different. Differences, but actually copying and pasting files mechanical hard drives are not far behind.
It makes sense. Although the data transmission interface is increasingly pointing to USB4/Thunderbolt 4 and USB3.2 Gen2, ordinary USB3.0 is basically sufficient in the field of mobile hard disks. The lower the initial cost, the more years you use it. By the way, this ORICO box also has the same model with C port (divided into two types: C to A and C to C cables. The transmission rate standard is slightly higher, 6Gbps, and the model suffix is C3), but I think Micro -B to USB-A's 5Gbps speed is not much different from 6Gbps, and 25PW1-U3 is more cost-effective.
I am Bidian Coolplay. This is the end of this SATA hard drive box test list. We will see you in the next issue. #hard disk box# #digital good stuff recommendation#
