I mean this is pretty neat, especially since I'm a data hoarder and I cannot afford to keep buying regular external hard drives (I'm broke as sht). I'm thinking about buying used hard drives for cheap and using these enclosures, but I do wonder about how long they'll last? And do they get super hot? And what about write speeds?
The temperature is not a problem, the read and write speeds are going to be limited by your disc rather than the interface because USB 3.1 or 3.2 Gen 1 is limited to 5 gigabits per second which is good for any SATA SSD or hard drive. If you want more speeds and are dealing with NVME discs then you will need USB 3.2 gen. 2. 10 gigabit connection for up to 1 GBPS of copy and paste speeds
WOW great job, I think you just saved me a visit from the geek squad. Question? recent purchase of a new DELL. I have the WD discovery disk, but It will not open my quicken program to place a short cut on the desk top. Seems every thing is transferred on the data, but NOT the programs. So,,,if I do you internal to external drive, and plug in the external. Will the desk top on the converted external drive show up as the old desk top? So I could see the short cut to quicken program.?
Hi, maybe you don't see the notification of a year old video. But i asked a question on your video about adb on ticwatch pro. It would be really helpful if you have a answer for that. Thank you!
Bro I had an issue after sharing a large file to my hdd suddenly it stopped recognising I’ve restarted my computer again I checked it but when I connected my computer is hanging it started running slowly pls help help me with it
please check disk utility to see if the hard drive shows up as blue. if it shows black then right click and select new simple volume and follow through the process and it will start working normally.
Can it connect to the blu ray player? because I always download MP4 movies online and put inside flash drives but this time I want to use an internal hard drive
Thanks for the guiding us through the conversion process.
Very easy tips for converting internal hard drive to external 👌👌👍

Internal HDDs converted are external are more reliable. The externals being sold often have faulty internals inside
What a godsend! I didn't know you could even do this. Doesn't the hard drive need cooling inside the enclosure?
Not at all, ambient cooling(the surrounding air) is more than enough. Cheers.
Great explanation

bro im using this but only the notification sound came not showing the hardrive why ?
please check disk utility to see if the hard drive shows up as blue. if it shows black then right click and select new simple volume and follow through the process and it will start working normally.

Indeed it can
Is it safe to use or will it decrease the life of the hard drive?
It’s safe.
@@TheEasyWay okay thanks a lot❤️
nice
This hdd can be use in ps5?
What if it reads it in partitions and not as a storage device? Help
You can go to disk management and erase the whole disk to create a single partition that can be used as an external drive
Can I use it for PS4 pro?
Indeed it will work for the ps4 pro
