has made a leap forward with the maturity and popularization of high-speed large-capacity storage chip technology and the domestic mass production. The price of solid-state drives has now dropped to a price like a cabbage, directly making the unit price of a brand new solid-state drive less than 0.5 yuan per 1GB.
Such a great price has made everyone start to move closer to large-capacity solid-state drives. It’s a pity to replace the small solid-state drive, and it’s a waste to eat dust while putting it on. Today I will recommend a hard disk case that supports the M.2 transmission protocol produced by ORICO - the ORICO M232C3 hard disk case, which allows the idle M.2 solid-state hard disk stopwatch to maximize the value of this hard disk case.
In terms of outsourcing design, the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box still brings ORICO element design, with blue markings and patterns on white background, and with the physical color patterns of the hard disk box at a glance, you can feel the unique performance and charm of this hard disk box.
. On the back of the packaging, the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box also brings the physical pattern, and it also clearly lists three colors: Champagne Gold, Moonlight Silver, and Space Gray. In addition, below the physical pattern, the detailed introduction of the performance parameters of the hard disk box and the product's production brand information, as well as relevant certification marks that comply with the standards are brought.
ORICO M232C3 hard disk box still uses the familiar packaging design style. Take out the outer packaging of its packaging and you can find that the interior is still a familiar layered design with the upper and lower. The upper part is a pure black plastic tray to store the body of the hard disk box and the data cable, while the lower part is the corresponding accessories.
Take out all the accessories in the packaging box, and you will find that the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box brings you the corresponding instructions, data cables, screwdrivers, rubber buckles, heat dissipation vests, heat dissipation silicone pads, etc. In addition to the body of the hard disk box, it also has a corresponding instruction manual, data cable, screwdriver, rubber buckle, heat dissipation vest, heat dissipation silicone pad, etc., which is a considerate and practical accessories combination.
ORICO M232C3 hard disk box is a metal shell made of CNC process all-aluminum alloy, and it also comes with a unique raised fin stripe design on the surface, which not only makes the hard disk box more business-oriented, but also effectively increases the heat dissipation area on the surface of the hard disk box, giving full play to the rapid performance of the M.2 solid-state hard disk.
At the same time, at the upper and lower ends of the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box, a very simple design continues to be adopted, bringing the Type-C interface and hidden indicator light respectively, without too many fancy design embellishments, further highlighting the business tough temperament of the hard disk box.
After disassembling the only screw at the bottom of the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box and another screw that fixes the motherboard internally with the attached screwdriver, you can find that the inner part of the hard disk box is a three-layer structure, which consists of three parts: the back cover of the hard disk box, the motherboard of the hard disk box, and the outer shell of the hard disk box. The motherboard of the M232C3 hard disk box adopts a pure black PCB design, and the front electronic components are very rare, and most of the area is based on the heat dissipation part of copper clad stripes. The others are the slots and Type-C interfaces of the M.2 solid-state drive interface, as well as the corresponding working indicator lights, which provide most of the space with M.2 solid-state drive installation and storage. At the same time, the motherboard also brings 4 holes in different positions, which are fully compatible with the installation and use of M.2 solid-state drives of different specifications, 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280.
And on the back of the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box motherboard, this side is full of the main control circuits and electronic components corresponding to the hard disk box. Among them, the most eye-catching is the RTL9210 master controller printed with the crab logo from Realtek Technology, which can provide the hard disk box with the connection transmission that supports USB 3.2 Gen2 protocol, and also bring a wide compatibility experience of plug and play.
It is worth mentioning that the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box fixes the M.2 solid state hard disk, not like a laptop installation or a computer motherboard, adopts a troublesome screw fixing design, and adopts a rubber snap-on design that is easy to disassemble and install. Just press and unzip hard to complete installation and disassembly, without any screw installation and disassembly, making it more convenient for daily replacement and maintenance.
Nowadays, not every M.2 solid state drive on the market is equipped with a cooling vest, and the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box is thoughtfully prepared for users with matching cooling vests and cooling silicone pads. When installing, you only need to place the heat dissipation silicone pad on the M.2 solid state drive and put the heat dissipation vest along the internal slot on the M.2 solid state drive. Finally, close the bottom cover of the hard disk box and put the screws in it to experience the joy of fast transmission of large USB drives.
It has to be said that the data cable equipped with the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box adopts a unique two-in-one design. Although the "10" rate is marked on the two-in-one USB-A port, this data cable is a fully functional data cable that can support up to 60W PD charging and also supports up to 40Gbps transmission rates. It can be achieved that when you go out, you only need this data cable to meet the full functions of charging and data transmission. After connecting to the computer with the computer, the "ChipGenius" software can be detected that the main control chip in the hard disk box is the RTL9210 chip of Realtek manufacturer, which supports the USB 3.2 transmission protocol, and the current power consumption is less than 1A, which is completely consistent with the main control chip model seen by PCB.
This time, the M.2 solid state drive used to test this time comes from Yingchi's Ning M.2 NVMe 256G SSD (Tmall customized version). The official reading speed is 2800MB/s and the write speed is 1000MB/s, which can fully comply with the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box's transmission bandwidth test.
First of all, test the speeds of three partition formats, namely exFAT (wide-compatible and supports files above 4GB), FAT32 (the most widely compatible format), and NTFS (Windows exclusive security format), to see if the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box can bring a 10Gbps speed experience?
passed the test of the "AS SSD Benchmark" software. The overall reading speed of the three common partition formats is around 950MB/s, and the writing speed is above 900MB/s, which is completely close to the official maximum speed of 1000MB/s, and the speed is also very stable.
Next, using the "CrystalDiskMark" software to test, the overall reading speed is also consistent with the speed of the "AS SSD Benchmark" software above, the reading speed is also around 950MB/s, and the writing speed is also above 900MB/s.
Finally, we came to the continuous reading and writing test of "ATTO Disk Benchmark", and we can experience the stability of the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box with an aluminum alloy design and a cooling vest, making the overall reading and writing speed closer to the official maximum speed of 1000MB/s, and will not slow down or drop as the continuous reading and writing temperature rises, fully exerting the high-speed performance of the M.2 solid-state drive.
and use the Disk Speed Test software to exFAT and FAT32 on Mac OS (Native Mac OS in NTFS format is not supported, and it requires installation of plug-ins to support it, which will affect the write and read speed, so it is ignored and not tested). You can also feel that the read and write speeds are very close to 1000MB/s level, and can be fully supported in the M.2 mobile hard disk box, perform high-definition lossless video editing or use the Windows system for "Win To Go".
After testing software on Windows and Mac, as well as daily data storage and direct editing of video content on M.2 mobile hard disk, the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box is supported by built-in heat dissipation silicone + heat dissipation vest + all-aluminum alloy shell. The overall aluminum alloy shell is just slightly hot to the touch. After a simple test with a thermometer, the shell temperature is only 34.7°, which completely brings a stable transmission speed guarantee to the M.2 solid-state hard disk.
In general, the ORICO M232C3 hard disk box has built-in heat dissipation silicone + heat dissipation vest + all-aluminum alloy shell for heat dissipation, which brings the guarantee of stable transmission for the continuous use of M.2 solid-state drives. It also supports intelligent sleep technology, which brings energy saving and environmental protection to the M.2 solid-state drive and improves the service life. You no longer worry about the problems of heating, speed drop, disk loss, damage caused by excessive hard drives. It is a completely life-like tool for idle M.2 solid-state drives to bring you a fast experience of large USB drives.
