ORICO Transparent USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 2.5 inch

ORICO 2.5" Transparent USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 External Hard Drive Disk Enclosure Box, USB 3.0 High-Speed Case for 2.5" HDD / SSD, Case Support UASP Protocol SATA III Tool Free [Upgrade Version]
ORICO 2.5" Transparent USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 External Hard Drive Disk Enclosure Box, USB 3.0 High-Speed Case for 2.5" HDD / SSD, Case Support UASP Protocol SATA III Tool Free [Upgrade Version]

Pros: It's transparent, no need to label the HDD/SSD. The usb works as expected. small slim and easy to store together. No real need for tools with it's snap together design.

Cons: the sata connection is stiffer than the connection on the HHD/SSD so there is a little bit of flexing while installing or un-installing the HHD/SSD. to avoid thatyou must loosen the connection board. Also there was just a little bit of plastic hang on the sliding rails on one of the 6 that I purchased, I used clippers to remove the hang and it slides closed just fine

Overall Review: I really appreciate these enclosures. I think they are great and for the price makes them that much better.

Samsung 890 Series C34H890WJN Black 34" Curved 3440x1440 WQHD sRGB 4ms 100Hz AMD Freesync Monitor, 300cd/m2, HDMI/DP/USB-C/USB Hub, fully adj stand, VESA Compatible

Pros: Beautiful screen, right idea

Cons: the factory stand is dodgy at best, very weak and flimsy. when using a mouse or typing the screen wobbles due to the stand. I have had mine for 6 months and it has now died. no warning just half a black screen then out. I have changed the video cables and cycled the power, it come on for 2 seconds and then goes out again.

Overall Review: I don't know if I can recommend this monitor. The screen is awesome, but all the complications around it and the fact I can not use it now.... well.....

Excelent NAS

Synology 8 bay NAS DiskStation DS1821+ (Diskless)
Synology 8 bay NAS DiskStation DS1821+ (Diskless)

Pros: Great file server, reliable file system. decent updates simple to access and to secure. Easy drive installation and good online support and drive calculator online. Worth the money.

Cons: I have no complaints

Overall Review: Easy Reliable Secure. Excellent product

Car manufactures should have this as a standard feature

Vantrue N4-G Dual Dash Cam 3 Channel 1440P Front & 1080P Inside & 1080P Rear Triple Dash Camera with Infrared Night Vision, Super Capacitor, 24 Hours Parking Mode, Motion Detection, Support 256GB Max
Vantrue N4-G Dual Dash Cam 3 Channel 1440P Front & 1080P Inside & 1080P Rear Triple Dash Camera with Infrared Night Vision, Super Capacitor, 24 Hours Parking Mode, Motion Detection, Support 256GB Max

Pros: Pretty simple and straight forward design. Installation needs vary from car to car but they give you plenty of cable to run to the control unit. good picture and great audio pick up (watch what you say around the thing) Files are broken up into 4 minute sections for easy location of needed video.

Cons: If you are not careful on putting in the memory card, it can slide past the the card tray and wedge into the internals of the camera. That part could be better designed for ease of use. GPS is an option accessory, probably should be standard.

Overall Review: Good unit, specially with the GPS unit. You do not need a big Memory card, 128GB high endurance will be enough.

Decent SSD Sata drive

LEVEN SSD 2TB 3D NAND TLC SATA III Internal Solid State Drive, 6 Gb/s, 2.5-Inch/7mm (0.28"), Read Up to 560 MB/s, Write Up to 530MB/s, Model JS500SSD2TB

Pros: Stand alone it is pretty fast, not having heat issues that would cause it to lag. So far good replacement drive for laptops.

Cons: Didn't perform so well in a RAID environment in speed tests, but also didn't burn out either. I purchased 4 of them and tested them in RAID 0,5,10

Overall Review: Great drive for the the price point and has decent speeds. No complaints

Spare Drives for my server

WD Red 4TB NAS Internal Hard Drive - 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6Gb/s, SMR, 256MB Cache, 3.5" - WD40EFAX
WD Red 4TB NAS Internal Hard Drive - 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6Gb/s, SMR, 256MB Cache, 3.5" - WD40EFAX

Pros: It works

Cons: Nothing with the product when its in a raid array

Overall Review: So nothing about the product per se, however the shipment box was marinated with Fabreeze and triggered a migraine. I had to air out the box outside for a few days before I could get the HDDs out. Friends don't let friends use Fabreeze. =(

Unfair business practices.

Took three weeks to receive (not 5 days), had to go with an alternate vendor. Sent the package back to the seller unopened. Cost $5 to send back to them, took 5 days to get back to them (not 3 weeks). The have NOT issued a refund for the purchase. Do not buy from this seller, Buyer Beware.

I have two of these cases, might consider buying an additional one. Not good for more than three hard drives though...
