I'm in the market for a HDD enclosure, found a good deal locally. does anyone on /g/ know anything about Orico? Are they a good brand to buy?
It just needs to be USB 3.0, be cheap, preferably metal, and hold at least one 1TB drive. I'm looking at the 9528U3, link related for reference.

Is this what tech illiterates think about?
Put them inside your PC, if that doesn't work get a NAS.

PC died after a housefire (non nvidia related) anon, that's why I now have a laptop and 6, 1TB HDDs laying around.
Now shoo shoo, you're being hostile

It's Chinese ask /csg/
ORICO is a good brand.
If you only need one drive, there are less expensive options.
Like this one:

Hell, you could get two and it'd be less expensive than the one you linked.
If you don't mind a plastic enclosure, there's this top-loader that holds two drives and makes swapping them easy.

Plus it's about the same price as the single metal enclosure.

Thanks anon, I found a local deal for $40 on the 9528, just wasn't sure if it was a waste or not.
That top loader is sexy af
