## Description

desertcart.com: ORICO USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure for 3.5/2.5 Inch SATA Hard Drives/SSD Up to 20 TB, 3.5'' Tool-Free HDD Enclosure with 12V/2A Power Supply and UASP Acceleration (3588US3) : Electronics

Review: Nine hour 3TB file copy successful with zero issues and cool as a cucumber. - I used this to house a WD internal HDD that I wanted to use as a file backup. I transferred 3tb from a WD Passport to the new WD HDD using Robocopy. Both were plugged into USB 3.0 ports and I saw 80-120 mbs read and write speeds throughout the entire transfer. It took around 9 hours to complete with zero errors or issues. Some of these enclosures are built so cheaply that they limit the transfer speeds by half even if it's using a USB 3.0 connection. This one doesn't do that. The limiting factor in my transfer speeds was the USB 3.0 limits and that's perfect. The 3.5" disk fit nicely into the enclosure and the ports had a nice snug fit like they should. There are two small foam pads that are included. Take the thick one and place it on top of the disk so when the lid is closed the disk can't bounce up or down. Take the thin one and cut in half, then stick them to each other so it's double the thickness and squeeze that into the gap at the bottom of the disk. That will stop the drive from sliding away and losing the port connection. Perfect fit, very snug, feels secure. I would recommend it based on my experience. Zero failures for 9 hours of straight transfers is a pretty good test I think. The entire enclosure acts as a heat sink air fin so as long as there is open air around the enclosure there is no possibility of it overheating. I laughed when I saw a review of some clown drilling holes in this thing for ventilation. That is not how disk drives overheat nor how they dissipate their heat LOL. Nine hours, three terabytes, enclosure was cool to the touch. If you need it buy it.
Review: Great 3.5" Enclosure - I purchased this product in hopes of being able to access files off of my five-year-old desktop that died nearly two years ago. Initially, I was hesitant to try this because I thought that the hard drive in the PC had failed and I’d just be wasting money. I was pleasantly surprised by the Orico 3.5” Hard Drive Enclosure. The package comes with a few items inside. You get the enclosure, a power cable, a USB 3.0 cable, an instruction manual in both Chinese and English, and two foam strips. I believe these require external power because of the 3.5” drive. A 2.5” drive in an enclosure does not need external power. The instruction manual is accurate and helpful, but it is for new drives. You do not have to follow this manual if you’re using an old drive from a PC as I was. The build quality of this enclosure is good. The material is a very sturdy plastic and the top of the case is metal, or at least feels like it’s metal. The bottom slides off and clicks into place with ease, but not easy enough that you should fear it sliding off unexpectedly. There is an LED power indicator on the front beside the power button. I took off the side of my old PC and blew out the immense amount of dust it had gathered. I pulled out the 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM drive, blew off the dust that was remaining on it, and slid it into the enclosure. There is extra space on the bottom and left side of the enclosure once the 3.5 drive is in. This worried me because it may become loose; however, Orico provides two foam or foam-like strips with adhesive on the back. I just used one of the two on the bottom and the hard drive did not move inside when I tried to move it. Using the provided cables, I plugged the drive into a socket and one of my USB 3.1 (my PC doesn’t have any 3.0) type A ports. I pressed the power button and the LED indicator came on. I pulled up Windows Explorer and I was shocked. All of my files from my five-year-old desktop were there. I’ve only had this running for 6 hours as of my typing of this review so I cannot speak for long-term use, but if anything changes I will update this. Performance wise I’ve not done any true testing, but I do have some figures to look at. Please keep in mind I am using a five-year-old hard drive that has been sitting for two years. I was transferring all the documents, pictures, music, etc. from the Seagate in the enclosure to the Toshiba HDD in my desktop. During 5-10 GB transfers, I saw transfer speeds of up to 220 MB/s. There was some fluctuation, but I never saw the speed go below 130 MB/s. (Attached is an image of the result from CrystalDiskMark after format completed). Here’s a bit of advice for anyone who may not be too tech savvy and is hoping to do what I did. My drive had both a system partition and data partition since it was the only drive in an old PC. This annoyed me. Also, many folders and files could not be accessed whatsoever because of the security used by Windows. For me, this was fine. I didn’t lose anything that I didn’t already have backed up elsewhere. I could still access my documents, pictures, music, downloads, and could even see what programs I had installed and all their files. I’m currently formatting the drive because of the partitions and the inaccessible/unable to delete files. It isn’t hard and anyone can do it. Lifewire has great guides on how to remove the partitions and format the drive if you don’t already know how to on Windows machines. Make sure you back up all of the files you can/want to keep before you begin the process. Deleting the partitions and formatting the drive permanently deletes all the files on the drive. It takes a while (I’m currently at hour 3 and it’s at 95%), but it is worth it. It deletes the system files you may not be able to delete and frees up that space. I would recommend this product. It was one of the cheaper choices that I saw here on desertcart and it does its job well. I'm happy with it and hope to be happy with it for at least a year.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is there a heating problem or how is the heat dissipated?**
A: I had a heat problem, used it for 5 months. The drive had no files on it so shouldn't have run hot. I took the drive out, let it cool off, put it back in and there was no power to the enclosure. I put in two other working drives, still no power to it. I put the drive in another enclosure and it was not hot, copied 350GB of files to it and it is still not hot. Apparently the enclosure malfunctioned.

**Q: will the hard drive stop spinning when i turn the computer off? or will the hard drive continue to spin until i manually switch the enclosure "off"?**
A: The drive in the enclosure will only spin when data is being accessed.  So turning the computer off definitely stops the enclosure drive from spinning.  The enclosure also has a on/off power button.

**Q: Does this support uasp?**
A: The firmware and/or hardware must have been updated since these answers (dated July 2015). At this point in time (December 2021), the listing says UASP is supported.

**Q: What is the lenght of the type c cable**
A: it's about 80cm,31 inches.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect
*by D***J on June 16, 2026*

Its bascially easy to use. I have several external enclosures already from NextStar that Ive been happy with , but those seem to have faded. So I got this one. The case lies flat & the cover slides open easily and the drive connects easily as well but it wiggles inside just the slightest bit that I dont like, as there's nothing else inside to lock it in tight. There are no screws. It has two foam stickers I assume are for it to rest on , but I prefer the ushaped "foot" so it can stand up vertically, but that doesnt hurt the performance. The last thing is the power cord... Waay too short. Alot of external devices seem to do this & its kind of a pain if you dont have an outlet right next to the computer. I do actually but its up on a table thats too high to reach facing towards me In general it does its job,although because of the short power cord, I have to face it away from my chair and cant see the power light come on, on the front. But it works, so I'm keeping it!
