Orico 2.5 inch (6.35cm) SSD Sata Hard Disk External Portable Case Cover USB3.0, 2139U3-CR (Transparent)

The Orico transparent case of 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD is a very good value when compared to 2x expensive Transcend case and 0.75x expensive Terabyte case. The Orico case actually exceeds both ends of the competition in looks, performance and pricing. I fitted the drive with a new & unused Seagate 1 TB HDD that I had purchased about 2 years back and was lying with me unused. Performance: 1) When compared to the Internal Seagate 2TB HDD on my Lenovo i7-7500U laptop, the Orico case and Seagate 1TB HDD actually delivered better performance. The internal drive topped out at 92 MB read / 72 MB write speeds while the Orico case turned in 115 MB read / 94 MB write speeds. 2) When compared with a 2 TB (3.5") External USB 2.0 drive connected to the USB 3.0 port on my laptop, while the USB 2.0 drive only showed expected speeds of of 30 / 24 MB per second speeds, the performance from the Orico case was a leader by a huge margin. Physical: The drive is made entirely of Acrylic kind of material. It looks really good but will not be rugged like a Lacie or a Transcend drive. This needs to be handled with care. Inserting the 1 TB Seagate HDD was simple. Simply slide back the top case and lift it up. Place the Seagate drive in the shell, press it down and then slide the top cover back in. Don't forget to connect the circuit board to the HDD when slide in the HDD. The drive fits snugly into the case and does not move at all once the top cover is put in. In case your drive is a little loose in the chassis, you can use some thick paper / plastic etc. to seal the gap. In case your drive is too thick / big to fit into this case, do not apply pressure - the case will break. The case does not use shock absorption / drive cage suspension etc. to save the HDD from vibrations. You should not move the HDD at all once you have connected it to your computer and started to work with it. To move, ensure that you eject it safely, disconnect the cable and then move the drive. The circuit board has a Blue-Red LED, which glows bright blue to indicate Power and blinks Red to indicate activity. Its rather cheap in appearance because of it's garish colour. A frosted Cool-white and Warm-white LED would have been much more elegant. Mind you, the LED has absolutely nothing to do with drive performance. In my case, the drive is resting behind my laptop and I can only make out a dull glow on the wall to realize that the drive is connected to the laptop. It does not make sense to buy this case and a HDD separately since at actually lower cost, you can buy an integrated external drive from a reputed manufacturer. But in the event you have 2.5" HDDs lying around, this case is certainly terrific at bringing these drives into use. Let me know if the review was "Helpful".

Received the product on 10 Feb. The packaging was proper. It was a cute little box. Inside the box there was one case wrapped in plastic, one cable wrapped in plastic, user manual, Registration Information. The packaging was really good. Build Quality: The case is transparent plastic case which in my opinion is okay quality. Don't drop it or get burdened under something. The Slide mechanism of the case will start to fail after certain amount of its use. The cable looks like it is of good quality. It is not loose on the connecting point. Installation: I have a Hitachi Travelstar HDD which I wanted to convert as an external HDD. The installation is very very easy. I had to remove the fitting panel on my HDD which is required while using with laptop 'cause otherwise it won't fit. Its easy just slide open the case & attach your HDD inside & close the case properly. Easy Peasy... Using: Super Easy. Just Plug n Play. You may have to wait for some time on the first run as it might install the drivers. Performance: Haven't been using much but with the usage that i had i can say that the read speed was nice topping 100 MBPS for my HDD and average would be 85 MBPS. This means it is USB 3.0 & I will check the write speed in some time and will update the review. Final Verdict: The product is really good for the price point that i brought it for ₹540 if you don't have to do a lot of swapping of HDD in the case 'cause the slider mechanism will eventually fail. But otherwise this is a great product. USB 3.1 (Gen 2) could have been there instead of USB 3.1 (Gen 1) [USB 3.0 is USB 3.1 (Gen 1) capped at 5 Gbps while Gen 2 is capped at 10 Gbps theortically] But my HDD couldn't have used the Gen2 properly because of its own speed which is very less so that's why it doesn't bother me much. Also, the company is seriously focused on feedback which is very good and that's why i am writing this review 😂 😂 😂 That's my review. Thanks for reading😁

I had a couple of 2.5" HDD lying around and was looking for a case to turn them into backup drives. There were many options around, but then I saw this one which was transparent and I could see through. So being a bit obsessed with technology, I preferred this one, since all of the electronics would be visible and look cool. 🎁 INSIDE BOX ••••••••••••••••••• Orico HDD case with USB 3.0 support x1 Foam strip to keep pressure on HDD x1 User manual x1 Warranty card x1 USB 3.0 micro B port to type A cable x1 Supports- 2.5" SATA hard drive / SSD Cable length- 22" ➕ PROS •••••••••••• 1. Sleek, transparent, and see through case- you can see your HDD, its electronics, along with case's black electronic board and its vibrant LEDs 2. USB 3.0 and supporting cable to enable high speed transfers (~100 MB/s read/write speeds for a 5000rpm hard drive) 3. Simple slip-on case with no requirement for screwdriver 4. Blue and Magenta LEDs as connectivity and transfer indicators 5. Supports 2.5" SSD too, but since thickness of SSD is less compared to traditional HDD, you need to provide some cushioning to keep it stable there ➖ CONS •••••••••••• None as such Some may find missing damper/cushion to provide some level of drop protection a problem, but I feel like these devices are not to be dropped and any level of protection can't help much in case of a misfortune. Even majority of portable HDDs dont provide such protection. Some may come with a drop sensor to prevent damage to disks. ☑ SPEED TEST ••••••••••••••••••• -> I tested it using USB 3.0 port, and test results were good on crystaldiskmark Read 101.3 MB/s (for 2GB test file) Write 102.6 MB/s (for 2GB test file) -> On direct transfer of 13 gb file (between Laptops SSD and 5400rpm HDD in case) USB3.0 port Read ~88 MB/s Write ~88 MB/s USB2.0 port Read ~40 MB/s Write ~30 MB/s ✍ FINAL VERDICT •••••••••••••••••••••••• If you are a tinkerer and love technology stuff, you would love a see through case. All that coupled with good quality and great speeds is a perfect combo.

That was a fast delivery, one day before the commited date, thanks Amazon ! The package reached here safe. But there was no shock proof packing. When it comes to setting the hard disk into the case. It is very easy. Just slide , plug the pins ,and slide it back. Sliding is tricky. If you apply strong pressure to open the empty case , it might get crack. Be care full sliding it. Then my hard disc was perfect fit to the puluging pins.. There is small gap in other three sides of it. One mm or even less. But nothing to worry the hard disc is not moving or shaking in the case. It got attached pretty strong. So I don't mind the gap. Sliding back is little less smooth. May be it is the air. But it fit back perfect. Now there is a cable, with blue color in usb tip. I think blue indicate usb.3. IT looks decent and quality item. Using it with system-loved it. Like any external hard disc , plug and play. No software installation required. If your hard dick has partition like D,E,F drives.. each open as different drives. Not as a whole folder . My WD external HD open as a single drive since it has no partition. Data transfer is 70mbps. My OS is win 7. I dont know it is good or bad. But just letting you know. I did not check with other systems. So I cant say for sure. Now, This has a blue and red LED. Blue seems indicatig connection status and red seems indicating data transfer.. since this case is transparent like glass, the light is very much visible. May be more than it should be. The quality seems good now but I think it will be scratched in future . We put it on some surface always. So scratch is inevitable. Also I am not sure about spirit or diesel applying on it for cleaning.that could damage the finish. Anyway other than future crack and scratch chances due to our careless use , it is good to buy. My hard disc has a breathing hole. But the case don't have one. So if the case is air-tight it might be a problem. That's all for now. I'll update if there is any thing more

This product is of great value. Had damaged my HDD shell + the port wasn't working well [ got disconnected in the middle of the transfers] Won't get into the technical aspect of Read-Write speed, but did experience a boost and ease in transfer. - Sturdy enough [would still recommend using a pouch] - The transparent case makes the HDD look great overall. - Installation is very easy. - While buying, noticed reviews say could have included rubber supports etc, but didn't see the need for it. - When connected > shows blue LED flashing | While Read-Write operations > shows blue + purple LED flashing - The cable received along with it is of good quality & the port of the cases is fantastic. Writing the above review after a month of usage which includes using it continuously connected while editing videos where source and destination are both in the HDD. Great performance! Value for money!

Okay product. A bit delicate and can break from bad handling.

No setup. Plug and play. Insert the disk into case and connect to computer. Pros: Ease of install: Very easy. Case quality: Good. USB Cable quality: Good. R/W speeds: Avg. 60 MBps(Mega Bytes, not Mega bits). Cons: No shock absorbing material. Disk can get damaged easily in case it falls etc. Cannot remove the disk easily. The slot for the disk is perfect. Once you insert the disk, it locks in place. It may be a good thing for some people, but for me it is not a very good thing. There is no room to slide the disk and remove it. You might damage the bottom of the disk as well as the SATA connector of the disk while trying to remove it. I think it would have been better if there was some room for easy removal.

PURPOSE: I bought this case to convert my Kingston 240Gb SSD into a portable hard drive and use it as a secondary harddisk for my MAC. It is basically plug and play and you can connect almost any 2.5-inch hard disk to it without any issues. LOOKS AND DURABILITY: After looking at the costlier versions on Amazon I stumbled upon this one and this clearly works for me. The Plastic quality is not excellent but looking at the price point I would not complain If you don't mind the aesthetics and are just concerned with the performance you should surely purchase this. PERFORMANCE: Data speeds are as expected by a USB 3.0 drive and my SSD works well with this Case. I use it as my secondary operating system and the data transfer speeds as well as boot speeds are pretty decent. BANG FOR THE BUCK?? If you are looking for a cheap accessory that solves your purpose irrespective of the build quality and aesthetics then this is the product you should go for, if you want better-looking cases then you can always purchase the costlier (metal body)Transcend Cases that work the same but have better aesthetics.
