Orico 2.5" SATA USB 3.0 Enclosure

This transparent enclosure connects a single 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a computer via USB 3.0. It accepts drives up to 4TB and operates without an external power supply. Tool-free installation and hot-swap support make it simple to access data from spare or recovered drives on Windows, Linux or Mac OS.

Suits 7 mm and 9.5 mm laptop drives.

Builders with 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick 2.5 inch SATA drives will find the fit correct and the UASP protocol helpful for faster transfers. The clear casing lets you identify the installed drive at a glance. Users with thicker 12.5 mm drives should look elsewhere because the enclosure cannot accommodate them.

Single 2.5 inch bay supports up to 4TB per drive

The one-bay design limits total capacity to the maximum size of a single installed drive, which the specifications rate at 4TB. USB 3.0 provides a theoretical 5Gbps link, while UASP can improve real-world throughput. No external power adapter is required, so portability depends only on the host port's current capability.

Questions about this item

What drive heights does the 2.5 inch enclosure accept?

It fits standard 7 mm and 9.5 mm SATA drives; 12.5 mm models are not recommended.

How is the drive secured inside the tool-free case?

Slide the SATA drive into the internal connector, snap the cover shut, and plug the USB 3.0 Micro-B cable into the host — no screws or trays required.

Will the enclosure need active cooling or fan replacement over time?

No fan is included; the transparent plastic shell relies on passive heat dissipation, so no moving parts will require replacement.
