MacBook-style 2.5-inch SATA enclosure

The Orico enclosure houses a single 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD inside a grey metal-and-plastic shell that mirrors the MacBook aesthetic. A USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-C cable connects the drive to the host, while the built-in smart chip and intelligent power management keep operation stable across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.

Suits USB-C laptops and desktops.

It works with Windows, macOS, Linux and Android devices that have a USB-C port, making it a good fit for ultraportables, MacBooks and modern motherboards. Builders needing space for a 3.5-inch mechanical drive or a multi-bay RAID array should look at larger enclosures instead.

SATA III 5 Gbps interface

The enclosure’s SATA III link tops out at 5 Gbps, and Orico’s own test with a 480 GB SSD recorded a sequential read of 456.17 MB/s and a write of 422.50 MB/s. That single throughput figure tells you whether the box will saturate your workflow or become the bottleneck.

Questions about this item

Does this enclosure fit any 2.5" SATA drive I already own?

Yes — the single bay accepts any 2.5 inch SATA HDD or SSD up to the standard height, so your existing drive will slide in without adapters.

The spec sheet quotes 456.17 MB/s read and 422.50 MB/s write — will I actually see those speeds on my laptop?

Those figures come from an ORICO-H110 480GB SSD on a USB 3.0 link; real-world throughput depends on your drive's own SATA III limit and the host controller, but you can expect close to those numbers with a fast SSD.

The box says USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-C — what throughput ceiling does that impose?

The USB 3.0 interface caps at 5 Gbps, so even though the drive speaks SATA III 5 Gbps, the enclosure cannot exceed the USB 3.0 bus speed in practice.
