For data storage, there are no more contacts than optical disks, USB flash drives, mobile hard disks and online disks that have emerged in recent years. The transfer copy of small files is generally available on a USB flash drive, just because it is light and compact, and the capacity is reasonable. As for my mobile hard disk, in addition to the fact that it is no longer light and compact, it is mainly because I can upload and download files and have large capacity space as long as I have access to the Internet. However, the impact of online disk shutdown and online disk adjustment has occurred frequently in recent years. Since the death of "valuable information" in the online disk last year, I have some concerns about the security and confidentiality of network storage, What's more, I didn't fully trust it before. After all, it was not really the real thing in my hand. Although I didn't abandon the online disk, I also paid attention to the hard disk. Some "precious materials" still need to be backed up and stored locally. Of course, mobile hard disks on the market are created to store large capacity data files, but in terms of price and utilization of obsolete mechanical hard disks, they are not as direct as the random assembly of hard disk box (cabinet)+hard disk, such as ORICO's 3.5-inch dual disk high-capacity hard disk storage system 9528S3 (hereinafter referred to as ORICO 9528S3 hard disk cabinet), It supports the storage of more than 16TB hard disks that can be replaced at any time, and establishes a local data storage warehouse with more than 16TB hard disks. As long as there are hard disks, you can store as many as you want, which can meet the storage requirements and ensure security.

First impression

The white style flip packaging is much larger than expected, so there is a plastic handle on it to ensure more convenient handling. The effect picture of ORICO 9528S3 hard disk cabinet is highlighted on the front and rear, and the specification parameters, main functions and manufacturer information of the product are shown on the left and right. As for other signs and introductions in English, just skip them.

All objects except for paper documents such as user manual and thank you card, ORICO 9528S3 hard disk cabinet main body * 1, 12V/4A power adapter * 1, power cable * 1, USB3.0Type-A to Type-B data cable * 1, hexagonal door key * 2. What is a little insufficient is that the data line is not very long, about 1 meter. For removable storage within a certain range, the author believes that the use experience will be better if the data line is longer.

Stable on the desktop, the black ORICO 9528S3 hard disk cabinet will be well integrated into the life and office. It has the same all aluminum anodizing process as MAC. Aluminum is not only light in weight but also has good heat dissipation. The overall appearance gives a sharp and simple feeling, and the corners are naturally rounded.

The dual disk and independent multi mesh design is compatible with most of the current 3.5-inch hard disks, supports hybrid hard disks, ordinary hard disks, etc., and can support up to 16T (2 * 8TB) massive capacity expansion at the same time.

The logo of ORICO and the external box of SATA3.0 hard disk are marked on the two sides, which are striking on the black body.

As for the back, the lower interface is mainly a Type-B USB 3.0 interface and a 12V DC power supply input port. The upper part is the power switch key and cooling fan. A 120mm fan is used as active cooling, which can ensure a good cooling environment during the operation of the hard disk. There is no need to worry about the impact of the long operation time of the hard disk on the stable transmission of data.

Detail display

The hard disk is put in and taken out in a windowed tool free design, and each hard disk bit is equipped with a lock hole to add another lock for accidents, so as to fully guarantee data security. Smart as you, you can easily lock or open it with the matching key; Smart as you, you can't open it without a hard key.

After opening, it will be found that the two hatch doors are not all aluminum design, which is not necessary, as long as the opening and locking are smooth. As for the transmission connection, the mechanical design is adopted.

Each hard disk bit is equipped with an independent LED status indicator, and the working status of the corresponding hard disk bit will be shown by the color of the indicator, while the power supply will be shown by the indicator below the hard disk bit.

The reason why it is firmly located on the desktop is inseparable from the four round sound level shock resistant foot pads at the bottom. With sufficient area and friction, it can add strength to the stability of the hard disk. It can not only reduce the vibration caused by the hard disk when it is running at high speed, but also be well placed to ensure that the hard disk inside will not be damaged due to accidental sliding.

There is also a row of vents under the front panel to provide better circulation channels for heat dissipation, ensure good heat dissipation performance, and generally do a good job in heat dissipation.

Operation

It is very convenient. It does not need to install a driver. It can be hot plugged directly. It can be automatically recognized when connected to a computer. It supports most operating systems on the market today. How many steps should I take to put the elephant in the refrigerator? Then put the hard disk in the hard disk cabinet in several steps. More importantly, you can lock the door to prevent the elephant from running out by itself.

The mechanical interlocking design allows the hard disk to be placed in the opposite side. When the hard disk goes deep into a certain distance, the linkage device will trigger the cabin door to close. Then the cabin door spring can safely and quickly push the hard disk into the hard disk cabinet. The new precision technology makes the hard disk very tightly placed, and will also make the operation more stable and safe.

The cabin door can be locked to better protect the hard disk. Then, the key cannot be lost. Although it is not the security level of the safe or anti-theft door, it is difficult to open the hexagonal lock hole without tools.

It is also very convenient to take out the hard disk. If it is locked, it needs to be unlocked first, and then the door can be opened by buttoning the door switch, which will automatically pop out of the hard disk, providing the most convenient replacement method between insertion and removal.

When everything is connected, files can be transferred between them. The red and blue LED working status indicator is idle. The red and blue flashes alternately, indicating that the data is being read and written. Then you can hear the sound of the fan running.

performance testing

The actual transmission speed of the performance test will be different depending on the new or old degree of the computer, the specifications of the built-in hard disk, the computer port, the test environment, etc. The following test data is for reference only.

The hard disk used by the author is a newly purchased 2T purple disk of Western Data. Before the test, a bad track detection was made to check whether there are damaged partitions in the hard disk. Of course, the author checked "fast scan", otherwise it would take a long time. The test result is undoubtedly gratifying.

Test the read and write speed of the hard disk before formatting with HD Tune Professional V5.00. The test results show that the average read speed is 122.9MB/s and the average write speed is 120.6MB/s when the external ORICO 9528S3 hard disk cabinet is connected. The read and write speed is very fast.  

Let's take a look at random access to get a general understanding.

After formatting the hard disk, use The USB3.0 interface performs a read/write speed test. The speed of copying a notebook from the hard disk is 60.4MB/s, and the speed of copying a notebook to the hard disk is 59.04MB/s. There is a gap between the speed test before formatting and that before formatting. However, this copy speed depends on the computer configuration, which is enough for the author

At present, almost all new computers are equipped with USB3.0 interface. In addition, the hard disk supports USB3.0 high-speed transmission technology, supplemented by ORICO 9528S3 hard disk cabinet supporting SATA3.0, which can completely ensure stable, safe and fast data transmission.

summary

The ORICO 9528S3 hard disk cabinet belongs to the dual drawer model of the ORICO 95X8 series. Of course, if you want to build a large local storage warehouse, you can buy a higher drawer. The ORICO 9528S3 hard disk cabinet is equipped with a 48W power supply capacity in the power supply mode. In addition to the multiple power supply protection mechanisms provided, even if two 8T hard disks are inserted at the same time, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient power supply, so as to ensure that both hard disks have sufficient power supply to ensure stable and efficient operation under long-term operation. In general, it is a simple and easy to use expansion tool, with almost no operational difficulties. What we need to do is to equip a hard disk. High speed transmission speed and stable heat dissipation design are guarantees. In addition, independent power switches and work indicators make it more convenient to use. The all aluminum anodizing process that is equivalent to MAC makes it look higher grade. What is a little insufficient is that the attached USB3.0 data cable is slightly short, and the cooling fan still has the sound of running.
