DIY sticker enclosure for 2.5" SATA drives

This Orico enclosure turns a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD into a portable USB 3.0 device. It fits drives that are 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick and includes vintage-style stickers for customising the case. A 50 cm USB-A cable is supplied for immediate connection.

Single-bay design limited to 6 TB per drive

The enclosure accepts one SATA I, II or III drive with a maximum capacity of 6 TB. Drives measuring 12.5 mm thick are not recommended, so buyers needing larger or taller drives must choose a different enclosure.

UASP protocol reduces overhead during long transfers

With UASP enabled the SATA III link runs up to 70 % faster than standard USB 3.0 bulk transport. After 10 minutes of inactivity the unit enters an automatic sleep mode to protect the drive and lower power draw during extended sessions.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed will I see from the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 port when the enclosure is in a computer?

The USB 3.0 interface tops out at 5 Gbps, and with UASP enabled the enclosure can reach about 70% faster throughput than a standard USB 3.0 link, so actual transfer rates will be limited by the drive and the host controller.

Does the USB 3.0 connection cap the performance of a SATA III drive inside the case?

Yes, the SATA III internal link can run at 6 Gbps, but the external USB 3.0 port is limited to 5 Gbps, so the enclosure becomes the bottleneck for any drive that can exceed that speed.

What drive heights fit the 2.5-inch bay and how do I secure a thinner unit?

The bay accepts 7 mm and 9.5 mm drives; a 12.5 mm drive is not recommended. For 7 mm drives you must use the included EVA foam spacer to fill the gap and prevent movement.
