Quality


Easy, hassle free, user friendly and works very well.


Both enclosures are well made and function well.


Easy to install, the drive fits snug after installing the included foam pad, and it was detected as soon as i plugged it in.


My hard drive was in the process of crashing, and i didn't want to wait the 3 to 4 days it takes for a complete restore from carbonite.

Price


Priced right for what it is and does.

Shipping


Ordered this and got it within like 2 days.

Packaging/appearance


The item worked as intended, but the packaging was damaged.


I removed the 500gb drive from the seagate external enclosure and opened this orico toolfree usb3.

Competitiveness


I compare both models and found that the old has the "cushion" to hold both sides while the new one does not.


At the time of this review, the cost of the inateck was $7 more than the orico.


The power and usb cords for the inateck appear to be higher quality than those for the orico.


I researched a few of the enclosures on amazon and ended up purchasing both the inateck and orico enclosures.

    The orico enclosure is made of molded plastic and is extremely easy to setup without using any tools

    The inateck enclosure is made of aluminum and requires a small screw driver provided to screw the drive into a tray that slides into the enclosure and then screw the enclosure closed
