Although also available in 3.5"inch but for purposes of this post, we will be looking at the 2,5" inch external hard enclosures from Orico. These are convenient if you need a portable external hard drive that you can carry around to different locations.
So first, you will need an enclosure for your old hard drive. Assuming your old hard drive is 2,5" inches in size, then head over to our online store on this link and grab yourself one of Orico's 2,5"inch external hard drive enclosure available in various colours such as red, blue, black, silver and yellow - we'll deliver it to your doorstep within 3 - 5 working days. It is compatible with both USB 3.0 and 2.0 hard drives and supports up to 2TB capacity, great for your movie collection, or for backing up all your precious family videos and photos or just simply storing your xbox for playstation games to take along with you when visiting friends.
Easy, tool-free installation
After our friendly couriers have delivered your Orico hard drive enclosure, we may proceed to install your old hard drive into the enclosure and don't worry, because of it's tool-free installation design - you do not need any tools!
As per the first image above, grab the enclsoure with the palm of your hand, with the back cover facing upwards and gently press down the back cover whilst sliding it downwards.
The back cover will slide down and you can lift it off the enclosure. With the enclosure open, you may now insert your 2.5inch hard drive into the enclosure by sliding it upwards until it snaps into place (ensure the sata connectors are connecting into the sata ports on the enclosure)
Now you may take you back cover and close the enclosure by placing it in place and sliding it upwards to close the enclosure. Now your external hard drive is ready for use.
Connect your external hard drive to your computer and start using it as you would any portable external hard drive.
