23 February 2020 (Sunday) 01:07pm

Orico 3139U3 is a 3.5-inch Transparent USB3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure. It come with a 12V with 2A power adapter. As the specification, it can handle up to 10TB of Hard Disk Storage. As I used this for my old 3.5 Inch SATA 1TB Western Digital Hard Disk where it been used at my 10 years old Workstation.



You will not need any tools to install External Hard Disk into this External Hard Drive Enclosure. It just easily slides open and insert the Hard Disk. All this took me less than 1 minutes to install and deploy. The connection to the Computer is a USB Type A to USB3.0 Micro-B Connector.



It has a power button to turn on and turn off the External Hard Drive Enclosure. You will see Blue light on. It means the External Hard Drive Enclosure been power on. When you read or write any files, the red light will blink. It will indicate the External Hard Drive Enclosure have activities in progress.

As it written this External Hard Drive Enclosure has many safety features like Over Current and Voltage Protection, Overheating Protection, Short Circuit Protection, Electric Leakage Protection and Clutter Protection.



The quality build looks good as the circuit board seem clean and well soldered. For the transparent casing it looks flimsy maybe they are using the different type of plastic to transmit the heat out from the Hard Disk. It doesn’t have any fan and it is using SATA III (5Gbps) as their transfer mode in this External Hard Drive Enclosure.
