In 2000, when I was in college, it was a luxury for me to be able to touch computers. I only had one or two classes a week to experience 486 and 586 computers in the laboratory, and I didn't have much time to experience the fun of computers. I spent more time learning how to use computers and write programs. The hard disk capacity of computers is also very small, The 20G hard disk has a very large capacity. Many computers still use the Win3.1 system. It is estimated that most young people may not have experienced this system now. Later, there was the Win95 98 system that everyone liked very much. When the author graduated, some computers already used the xp/2000 system, which is also the system that the author likes very much, At this time, the computer hard disk is generally over 40G, even 80G, but 160G is relatively rare. When I graduated again in 2008, my computer hard disk capacity was 160G. After working for several years, the hard disk of computers has been generally upgraded to 2T/4T capacity, and the 1T hard disk has gradually become a waste hard disk. These 160G/1T hard disks are a little small for computers, but they are too wasteful to give up. The author has also been troubled by this, and the feeling that it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food often bothers the author. At this time, the author got a sharp tool from ORICO Mall to make waste hard disks reusable, that is, SATA hard disk holder.

The hard disk holder is packaged with white printing paper and kraft paper, which is the packaging method that ORICO has always adopted. The front of the package is the appearance and basic instructions of the product, while the back of the product is the basic information such as the model and certification of the product.

The product adopts kraft paper packaging as the transportation guarantee, and the hard disk holder is located in the customized paper packaging, which effectively guarantees the safety of logistics transportation.

The product provides a host, a switching power supply for power supply, a USB 3.0 data line and similar product instructions. USB transmission adopts the 3.0 standard, and the quality of wire is relatively high.

In terms of power supply, the input of AC power supply adopts an 8-shaped interface, and the output of switching power supply is 12V/3A, up to 36W, which guarantees the operation of dual hard disks. The 8-shaped interface is very firm when used.

The product of this experience is a double disk box, which supports the free combination of 2.5 "and 3.5". The hard disk holder is designed with black PC material, and the front center of the hard disk box is the logo of ORICO.

The front panel position of the product marks the progress of dual disk copying by percentage, which is a very practical function of dual disk hard disk box. It supports dual disk cloning function and displays the cloning progress by percentage.

The working status indicator light of the hard disk is beside the dual hard disk. The blue indicator light is normally used when the power supply is connected, and the blue and orange indicator light is used when the dual hard disk is working.

The gap of the product indicates that the product supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard disks. At the same time, the source disk and the target disk are marked beside the two hard disks. In the case of clone mode, the source disk can be completely copied to the target disk by placing the disks separately. The current clone function will first clear the target disk, so if there is any data, it must be backed up in advance.

Because the standard SATA interface is used, the 3.5-inch hard disk used for desktop computers and the SATA 2.5-inch hard disk used for laptops can be well supported. The bottom of the hard disk case is the product model and other relevant information. The anti slip pad around the bottom has a good fixing effect for safe use of the hard disk holder.

At the rear of the product is the design of each interface and switch, which provides the USB3.0 interface. In terms of power supply, it uses a round input port. At the same time, in order to save points and save the life of the hard disk for daily use, it uses the switch design, which can easily open and close the hard disk. At the same time, the clone function button is provided, and the clone direction is to clone the data of the hard disk according to the settings. Use the START button to start cloning.

The hard disk holder supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard disks. The author took three idle hard disks to test.

When the cover is fully opened, the 3.5-inch hard disk can be inserted directly for normal use, but it should be noted that the hard disk should be inserted in the correct direction and aligned with the interface.

Comparison of the status of simultaneous insertion of 3.5-inch hard disk and 2.5-inch hard disk. It can be seen that the advantage of 2.5-inch in volume is quite obvious.

After the dual 3.5-inch hard disk is inserted, the counterweight condition is better. At the same time, it can be used as a storage hard disk or clone data.

After the author connects to the Xiaomi router, through the Xiaomi router APP, he can see that before the connection, Xiaomi has not reached 1TB. After the connection to the hard disk socket, he will be prompted that there is a new storage connection. After connecting a 160G hard disk, you can see that the original partition of the hard disk still exists, which is similar to the way of operating the hard disk directly. You can easily copy and download good movies through the Xiaomi router APP. In the same way, the author also likes to use the magic bean router Baidu to synchronously download the files of Baidu netdisk. After actual measurement, ORICO hard disk box can also support perfectly.

Connect the hard disk box to the computer, and you can see the various conditions of the hard disk through the resource manager. The hard disk that has been eliminated from the old computer used by the author is still in a mess. You can delete and merge it here to achieve better applications. After all, in the current hard disk storage situation, 160G is divided into four partitions, which is not enough for use. In terms of transmission speed, because USB3.0 interface and SATA interface are used, the entire hard disk reading speed still depends on the speed of USB, which is consistent with the normal use of the computer, so it is not necessary to consider too much about the use in general.

Summary

The ORICO high-speed USB3.0 6629 series hard disk socket supports the 2.5/3.5-inch dual SATA hard disk plug-in design, which can easily use the waste hard disk. It can perfectly support both the 3.5-inch large hard disk that is obsolete for desktop computers and the 2.5-inch small hard disk that is redundant for laptops. At the same time, it supports the disk cloning function, which is especially suitable for users who need to copy or transfer. If you have redundant waste hard disks, you may want to focus on this product. Of course, if you want to expand your computer NAS， The hard disk storage space of the download machine is also very practical.
