Advice for buying a 3.5" HDD USB enclosure

King Mustard · 10 Feb 2023 at 00:13

I am looking for a reasonably priced 3.5" HDD USB enclosure.

I will be popping a 18 TB Western Digital Purple Pro HDD into it.

I have found the following enclosures that support 18TB hard drives and include a 12v power adapter:

Yottamaster DF6 (£25)
Orico CP35C3 (£29)
Orico M35C3 (£35)

These supports 18TB hard drives, but are not available in the UK:

LC-Power LC-35U3-C
Orico HM35C3
Orico 3139U3

Any thoughts on the three above that are available in the UK?

You've been here long enough to know not to post links to competitors. I suggest you remove them before a moderator does.

Oh yeah, forgot about that rule.

Thank you for reminding me. Sorted it.

EDIT: Hmm, appears this forum is also the only one I know of that doesn't support emoji. Ah well.

They're labelled as smilies but they're there:

Okay, just the basics, not the usual vast range.

Those are images unfortunately, rather than unicode.

I wanted to add a 'rolls eyes' emoji above
