External Hard Drive case - ORICO External SSD enclosure setup and Review

[Music] hello this is nick with nickscomputerfix.com and here's a review and setup of the oreco usbc external ssd enclosure so i had a couple of 2.5 ssds laying around and didn't know what to do with them so i thought it would be a great idea to have an external ssd enclosure to make use of them since i didn't have any use for them in my old laptops any longer a couple of laptops didn't even work anymore so this was a great solution and here's my review and setup so take a look at it and you might want to consider getting one of these as well i went ahead and speed up the unboxing here so we wouldn't be sitting here being bored by me taking it out of the box okay the ssd drive that i'm going to be using is this 2.5 a data su-800 which happens to be in a 512 gigabyte drive and it slips in really super easy and by the way this is a sata connection just to let you know in case i didn't mention it earlier and this is the little rubber or felt pad that they give you to make the ssd a little tighter fit but i discovered that it's really not necessary and i'm not going to be using it and so i'll put that to the side um if you buy one of these you certainly can use it if you need to and the top of the case here slides right on in and as you notice already that i had not any need at all to use any tools so that this is basically a tool free installation which is super nice we are all set i just need to plug in the usb c cable that came with this and i'll do that right now this would be a great time to point out that two usb cables came with this enclosure a usb type c to c gen 2 cable and a usb type c 2 a gen 2 cable and i'm going to be using the usb c to c cable because it's more modern and uh my laptop and other computers uh support it so that's the one i'm going to use but it's nice to be able to fall back on a you know an older type of usb cable versus more modern one so it's great that i can use either one never know you might need to use the other one as well all right let me go ahead and connect this up and it slips right in easily and we are all set and ready to go ahead and plug this into the laptop here and by the way i will be using this six year old acer laptop which to my surprise does have a usb c port on it right on the side here and let me show you really quick and we'll be using the c2c usb cable with this enclosure and as you can see the plug is universal it can be plugged in in upside down or upside up and once that's plugged in we will see a blue power light and a red blinking light that shows that there's activity in windows file explorer opened up and we'll go ahead and close that out and here's a close-up look at the external ssd enclosure as it's connected to the laptop all right um we're going to go ahead and run some tests here on crystal disk mark which are pretty decent in my opinion for read and write speeds for being an external usb drive um we got to read at uh over 432 and then the right megabytes of over 451 so not too shabby and this will work out very well for an external drive on this laptop or any of my computers subscribe if you like and leave a like if you like and hey click on that notification bell
