Nowadays, with the rapid iteration of computers, the computers we use on a daily basis have usually undergone several replacements. It is precisely because of this that I believe that many people will have idle hard drives that are eaten up in dust. It is a pity to put them there without any use. Moreover, if a large-capacity hard drive can be used, it will indeed bring a lot of convenience. For example, as external storage, it can store some important mobile phone and computer information, copy some movies and connect them to TVs as movie hard drives, and also PS5, routers, etc., so how can these hard drives be used?
If you want to use idle hard disks, hard disk cabinet and NAS storage are all good choices, but the cost-effectiveness is not very high. If you want to spend less money to do this, then the hard disk dock is a good choice. The editor recently bought a hard disk base 9618C3, which has a container-shaped shape, has a unique shape, and can also achieve high-speed transmission. The price is also very good. Let’s learn about this product together.
appearance and material introduction:
ORICO 9618C3 hard disk dock adopts the container shape design. The entire design scheme is eye-catching and in sharp contrast with the traditional hard disk dock.
In addition to the design ingenuity, the material of ORICO 9618C3 hard disk base is made of alloy material, which is very valuable in your hand. It is more plastic shell, and the alloy material is more wear-resistant and fingerprint-proof, and has higher heat dissipation efficiency. This is also a necessary quality as a computer-related accessories. ORICO is very conscientious.
bottom ORICO 9618C3 hard disk base has designed four anti-slip pads to effectively prevent desktop vibration from causing the entire device to land. After all, hard disk devices are an important medium for data storage, and anti-slip processing is necessary.
The back of the hard disk box base has two interfaces and a switch button, one is the power supply interface and the other is the Type-C data transmission interface.
power adapter , OIRCO chose a 3C certified 12V2A high-power adapter, which can easily drive large hard disks. In terms of
data cable ORICO provides a first-line double-head design. One end is the Type-C interface that normally connects to the hard disk base, and the other end is the connector design for USB-A/Type-C switching, which saves the embarrassment of repeatedly purchasing wires. This design undoubtedly saves users part of the cost and is very conscientious.
data transmission test:
In terms of transmission speed, ORICO 9618C3 hard disk dock uses USB3.2 Gen2 Type-C output interface, so its transmission speed depends entirely on the performance of the hard disk itself. If it is matched with SATA solid-state drive , the maximum transmission speed of the ORICO container mobile hard disk box dock can reach 550MB/s.
After putting it in the hard disk and turning on power switch , the indicator light on the top of the hard disk base will light up.
First of all, the editor uses a 7200-rpm mechanical hard disk to test the read and write speed. Under the tests of TxBENCH and CrystalDiskMark, it can be seen that the reading speed of this mechanical hard disk reaches 204MB/s, while the writing speed is 196MB/s. It is a normal level for mechanical hard disks and will not affect the speed of the hard disk itself because of the hard disk base. In addition to the mechanical hard disk test, let’s take a look at the reading and writing speed of SATA solid state drives. After TxBENCH and CrystalDiskMark tests, the read and write speed of the solid state drive is 409MB/s and the write speed is 266MB/s. It can be said that the speed is already quite fast.
It should be noted here that this hard disk base does not support hot swap, which means that when replacing the hard disk, you must be powered off before operating, otherwise it will be damaged to the hard disk.
gameplay introduction:
Although it is just a hard disk dock, due to the existence of dual USB-A and Type-C interfaces, it can play more functions, such as plugging it into a mobile phone to play some movies.When I use it, the speed of mechanical hard disks is still a little worse, and solid-state hard disks are more suitable as storage medium for real-time playback.
or plug it into the computer to backup and copy data, etc. In addition, PS5 and TV can also be used, and there are really many ways to play.
Overall, this uniquely shaped "container" is indeed much stronger than the simple hard disk dock I have experienced before. Not only is the material selection more reliable, but its transmission speed is also extraordinary, and it can also bring more fun in gameplay. Mobile phones, TVs, computers and even PS5 can be used. It costs only 229 yuan, and it is definitely worth the money. If you plan to choose a uniquely shaped hard disk dock, this "container" from ORICO is definitely a product worth buying.
