Questions & Answers

Is it rattling like a cassette player?

lol. When you're not connected to the computer, it will play Prince.

I'm curious as to how I can keep it from constantly disconnecting while transferring files from it. I'm not sure how I'm going to get it fixed. ?

Check that your hard drive is securely connected inside the enclosure, as well as the cable connections. Try a different USB port on your computer; it's possible that your computer's USB port is faulty. If you're using a Windows computer, look in the USB power settings; it should be set to USB Selective Suspend. If that doesn't work, the problem could be with the enclosure's cable or with the enclosure itself. I've tried a few hard drives and SSDs on Mac and Windows computers and haven't had any problems with mine. If you've exhausted all other options, including using a spare USB 3.0 port, I would contact the seller for a solution to the 0 to micro B m/m cable.

Is it possible to make this pata compatible with other patas?

Any adapter would be impossible to fit in the case.

Will a hard drive from a Toshiba Satellite laptop fit in here?

It's both entertaining and useful
5/5

Excellent quality, and it works flawlessly with an SSD. Those of us who know what a cassette is/was will find this amusing.

It's nice to have, but it's not so nice to set up
5/5

This case was perfect for people like me who enjoy the nostalgia of the 1980s, but I must warn you that it was difficult to open. You can't find any instructions on how to open it, and logic isn't your friend. You must first look for people who are experiencing the same problem on YouTube, and then you must figure out how to open it. Another important point to note is that in many videos, this case contains multiple stickers of various colors, but it does not in reality. I'm not sure if they're telling the truth or if it's simply no longer relevant. I didn't buy another because I was looking for a variety of colors so that I could quickly identify them. It has a nice appearance and functions well, but it is not a protective case. Drop it and bid your drive farewell.

This tape does not necessitate the use of any tools
4/5

Not even pencils are allowed! This enclosure appeals to me a lot. Because the drives don't require any tools to install, they're very simple to do. For some old HDDs I had lying around, I needed something simple. I was planning on getting something simple and inexpensive, but a cassette tape was too tempting to pass up! For added flair, it comes with a sticker for each side (that is identical). br>br> My only "criticism" (and it's a preference) is that I'd like different colored stickers or a way to make rewritable labels because the case covers the text on the drive and there's no way to tell them apart without writing on the plastic if they're identical.

Every time I see retro styling, it makes me happy
5/5

This hard drive case in the shape of a cassette is larger than a typical cassette in a case, but it makes me happy to have it on my desk. I bought it because of the cool design and low price, and because I was upgrading a laptop hard drive and wanted to keep the old drive in case I needed any of the old files. This case does not appear to be any faster or slower than any other. It met my expectations and I would purchase it again. br>The red label is something you place on your own. It'd be cool if there were more colors or a blank area where I could write "AWESOME MIX TAPE. ".

Some stylistic misses, but functional and enjoyable
4/5

It's a fun concept, though the "audio cassette" style sticker that came with it could have been more accurate. I'm going to make mine. (Nans or Maxell XLII!) )br>br>How to open this without breaking it is not immediately obvious. It's necessary for you to slide it. It would have been more helpful if there had been a picture. Make an effort not to snap it. br>br>Apart from that, it's exactly what it claims to be and does exactly what it should.

For a While, I Was Employed - Since then, I've blown up two hard drives
3/5

For a short time, these enclosures worked, but then stopped working. Disconnecting on a regular basis. Files are not being transferred correctly. One enclosure completely destroyed a regular spinning disk drive, presumably due to the enclosure blocking the drive's vent hole, which is a tight fit in these enclosures. The drive will not even turn on at this point. br>br>The second enclosure had an SSD installed, which now appears to be failing as well. The file transfer is freezing. Disconnecting and reconnecting on a regular basis a connection Windows warns me that there are errors, but when I tell it to fix them, it says there are none. I have a dozen other USB hard drive enclosures (from different brands) and none of them have these issues. br>br>To summarize, these enclosures are cool in concept and appearance, but stay away if you need them to actually work.

A unique hard drive enclosure with a lot of personality
5/5

I couldn't look at this hard drive enclosure without being drawn to it. This is actually larger than an old-style cassette tape for those who remember them. I liked the fun look it gave me, but it was a school cassette. The case itself is sturdy, and it has successfully completed several cross-country deliveries via parcel delivery service. I've put a 500-word essay on the subject. It has a 1 TB Western Digital SSD SATA drive in it that I use primarily for small data file storage and it has served me well. If you're looking for a hard drive enclosure that's a little different, this is the one to get.

It's a cute little hut
5/5

It resembles an audio cassette in appearance. It's a good thing it's a little bigger, because someone in my house might try to fit it into an old stereo, haha. br>br>Performance br>br>Performance br>br>Performance br This is an excellent enclosure; I've never had a problem with any Orico enclosure I've purchased, with the exception of one that failed after about 8 months (it failed due to overheating, and it was my fault because I didn't provide the required ventilation because I was using it for a very unusual application).
