The notebook is small and easy to carry, which is loved by young people. It can even be said that every young people's family has one or more notebooks. The author also has one in his family, forcing the first notebook to be only 160G. Later, it was upgraded to a 1T mechanical hard disk. In recent two years, in order to improve the overall running speed of the notebook, it was upgraded to a SSD mechanical hard disk. After such a round, the author has a rich 2.5-inch mechanical hard disk. Since it is too expensive to buy a mobile hard disk directly, why not use the old hard disk at hand to assemble one yourself. ORICO started with storage peripherals, and I still trust it. Therefore, the author obtained a 2.5-inch mobile hard disk box from ORICO.

The product is packaged with kraft paper, and the front is the product model and appearance style.

The back is also designed as some basic information and product model of ORICO itself.

The internal accessories of the mobile hard disk box are very simple. In addition to the hard disk box, it also includes the data cable of the product and the shockproof sponge pad.

It is necessary to read the user manual of the product. This product is designed as a disposable buckle, which is described in detail in the manual, but it does not mean that it cannot be disassembled. It can still be disassembled by using the disassembly piece, but it is very different from the ORICO detachable type that the author purchased earlier.

The base of the hard disk case is basically the same as the 2.5 inch hard disk. For transportation safety, the mobile hard disk case uses a customized paper lining.

The circuit board design of SATA to USB3.0 is very simple. Standard SATA interface is adopted.

The overall circuit board is simple and compact, consistent with the width of 2.5 inch hard disk. A blue LED indicator light is designed on the right side of the product to indicate the working status.

Due to the size, the circuit board is not fixed with a special snap, and it is fixed with the help of a hard disk.

In terms of the interface, it is the USB 3.0 interface that everyone is familiar with.

The shell design of the mobile hard disk is very tight. After the 2.5-inch hard disk is installed, it can be installed very tightly inside the hard disk box.

As far as we know, the shock absorption of the mobile hard disk box has also been specially designed. It is installed by thin and thick sponge pads in a sticky way, so that users can choose to use it according to their hard disk conditions.

The top of the hard disk box is fixed with a metal shell, and the right side of the shell is the ORICO product mark.

The upper cover of the mobile hard disk case adopts the metal drawing design, which is the shell pattern that the author likes very much.

The interface between the data cable and the hard disk box is a standard USB 3.0 interface, which is very convenient to use.

The housing adopts a full snap design, and the installation is very simple. It can be easily installed with a little force, even for ordinary users.

In terms of speed, the author experiences it through different software. Through the commonly used ATTO Disk Benchmark software, the hard disk is connected to the USB2.0 and USB3.0 interfaces respectively. Through speed measurement, it is found that under the USB2.0 interface, the speed of the mobile hard disk has basically reached the full speed, but its speed is far from meeting the needs of users to copy data. The copy speed under USB3.0 can easily reach more than 100M.

The speed measurement results of HD Tune that you are familiar with are completely consistent with those of the above software.

Summary

ORICO MD25U3 2.5-inch mobile hard disk box is easy to install and use, even for ordinary people. The standard SATA to USB3.0 interface design is adopted. After software testing, the data copy speed can reach the USB3.0 standard. If you have an idle 2.5 inch hard disk, you may consider upgrading it to a portable mobile hard disk by using the hard disk box.
