This enclosure works great, but be aware of 2.4Ghz interference caused by USB 3.0 noise

Pros: - Small size - Easy drive installation - Sleek case design - No external power required - Works well - Fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds - Great price
Cons: - Included cable was not shielded well, causing 2.4Ghz WiFi interference when using the drive enclosure close to my MacMini - Included cable is a little too short
Overall Review: This is a very good USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure. It works as expected, other then the fact that my WiFi stopped working on my 2014 MacMini as soon as I plugged it in! After doing some more research into the issue, I discovered that USB 3.0 devices can cause localized interference in the 2.4Ghz WiFi bands (see this white paper published by Intel: https://www.intel.ca/content/www/ca/en/io/universal-serial-bus/usb3-frequency-interference-paper.html ). I witness this first hand by watching the WiFi statistics on the MacMini. Without the enclosure plugged in, the noise floor was about -87 dbm. As soon as I plugged in the enclosure, the noise floor spiked to -76 dbm and I could not use my WiFi connection! I found a different USB 3.0 to SATA cable that was longer, and better shielded and I had no issue at all. Something you may want to keep in mind if you are using a 2.4Ghz WiFi router. Orico may want to supply a better shielded cable with this enclosure. But other then this one unexpected issue, I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an inexpensive 2.5 inch hard drive enclosure!
