ORICO External Hard Drive Case for 3.5 Inch HDD/SSD 5 Packs Portable Hard Drive Carrying Protective Storage Box Anti-Static and Shockproof -PHX5S

These HD storage cases are perfect for storing individual 3.5" SATA drives!I bought a set of five cases for my audio recording business. We use several SATA Seagate drives (500GB to 2TB) for multiple recording systems (hot-swappable SATA bays and external SATA Docks), with active project backups and archive. We have several 'inactive' drives at any one time, and occasionally need to transport drives to locations. Until now, we have slipped the drives back into the original anti-static plastic sleeves and stowed them in a foam-cushioned case. Not so great - potential for loose foam pieces, dust, dirt, and secure fit were all concerns. Also not convenient if you want to just take one drive to a location or studio.These cases feature a sturdy construction (plastic thickness and quality is quite good); a good snap latch; good edge seal (wouldn't dunk these in water, but a spill shouldn't be a disaster). All of my drives fit them, though the 2TB drives ARE snug. The cases stack without sliding around from a slight bump of the table/desk. Case label is limited to a few lines, enough for drive name and general description. No space for a long list of items, but you can always keep a detailed list on paper in the case (e.g., print screen of your drive's file browser window). We keep logs of project locations, and just designate Drive Name/Letter.The anti-static/shock matting inside is an excellent feature; it lines the entire inside of the case. The lining is rather firm, not flexible and foamy, so don't expect much soft cushioning... which wouldn't be much protection to a hunk of metal anyway. Granted, I wouldn't be dropping these things, but the quality of construction is reassuring.Very happy with these, and will be purchasing another 5 (or more) cases! Price for the quality of these is fine; much better than sliding your drive into a thin plastic box with ridges and a few strips matting. Definitely worth protecting your investment!Please note:The previous review knocks the rating down to 4 Stars because of the price of the product, actually shows customer pics of the cases... and it's a different model of case. The review needs to be moved to the correct product.

These protective storage cases have become my go-to solution for safeguarding and organizing my 3.5-inch HDDs and SSDs.The first thing that struck me was the level of protection these cases provide. They are rock-solid and offer a snug, secure fit for my drives. I no longer worry about accidental drops or impacts damaging my precious data. Each case features a handy label slot, which is a thoughtful touch for someone like me who likes to keep everything meticulously organized. I can easily identify the drive's contents at a glance.Cases are made of high-quality materials, and you can feel the sturdiness in your hands. They're built to last and withstand everyday wear and tear.This 5-pack is a fantastic deal. It's a budget-friendly solution for protecting and organizing multiple drives. Plus, it's ideal for anyone who, like me, likes to keep backups and archives.While designed for 3.5-inch drives, these cases also accommodate 2.5-inch drives with ease, thanks to the included foam padding. It's a versatile solution for various drive sizes.I appreciate the clean, minimalist design of these cases. They look sleek and professional on my shelf, giving my workspace a tidy, organized feel.

In some ways these are well made, but also concerning.THE GOOD: They're made out of a tough plastic with good padding on the inside that's covered with fabric. They have a good professional appearance. Hard drives fit perfectly in them. All very nice.THE LESS GOOD: The latch is poorly designed, making them unnecessarily difficult to open and hard on the fingernails. I think I'm going to use a screwdriver to open them so I don't break a nail. Also, the hinge is molded with a strip of very thin plastic. I will be curious to find out if the hinge can hold up over the long haul, but still, it's 5" long, so that's good.CONCLUSION: Construction is good for the price point, but still, it could easily be better.

i have a lot of these cases that i store disks in. the are durable, padded and awesome
