Pros

Orico hard drive enclosure case is almost too easy to believe, but believe it. It works great with it but it did require initiating andformatting it to ntfs to make it compatible. The lid comes off easily (maybe too easily if you're planning on keepin... Read More

The build quality feels a little cheap with plastic compared to some of the other products at this price range i've researched. No issues whatsoever. As the man doing the review said, it's a keeper.

The orico toolfree usb 3. Tb drive is easy to use and easy to install. Just connect to the internet and insert the drive.

Price

For the price, i'll give it a pass on this point.
