Not quiet as good as the previous deal which included delivery, but grabbed another one.

Nice, looks like the same kind of design, $1.95 cheaper.. not sure if I should cancel this one, good having a few the same I guess.
Any idea if the Amazon (Wavelink) ones show your SSD as SSD (see below)
I had like three of these similar enclosures. None ever worked right, but this looks like it's significantly better in terms of quality
Yeah this one has been flawless to be honest. more comments in the previous thread too, will link it above.
they are selling on ebay for a few cents cheaper $12.89 delivered with free shipping from south australia
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/182474770087?hash=item2a7c5806a7…I've bought a few from eBay at that $12.99 price over the last year and a bit.
Do these detect SSD as SSDs ? Last case I grabbed form Umart showed an SSD as a HDD and never trimmed.
How do you know, I plugged an old samsung 840 SSD (120GB), comes up as a drive (NTFS - same as plugging it into your motherboard)?
Edit: properties - Device type: Disk drives, it's an SSD disk so not sure on the question.
guess could run CrystalDiscMark to test?How do you know
In Windows. Win+E in File Explorer, right click any Drive and select Properties/Tools/Optimise. It should show a list of your Drives and the type of drive detected ..Sold State Drive or Hard Disk Drive. If it detects a Hard Disk Drive you know is a SSD then you have a problem. All has to do with the controller chip on the enclosure.
Here's mine now for example. https://i.imgur.com/S6HYkAB.png
I had to replace an enclose as one of the SSDs was being detected as a HDD.
Yeah comes up as a Hard disk Drive…
Does that mean you don't get the same speeds or doesn't matter?
Have been using it as a working data drive and no issues@G-rig: Thank for checkings. It means its not being Trimmed and its using a cheap ass'd controller chip.
Up to you if you want to live with it but there can be consequences of not allowing the OS to TRIM an SSD. Garbage collection is a done by the SSD but TRIM is done by the OS and it can't TRIM it if it doest know it's an SSD. You will get degraded performance over time.
Clipped below from a random article
TRIM is a special ATA command which was developed to keep the performance of your SSD drives at peak performance for the duration of your SSD's life. TRIM tells the SSD controller to erase invalid and not used data blocks from the storage in advance, so when a write operation happens, it finishes faster because no time is spent in erase operations. Without TRIM automatically working at the system level, your SSD performance will degrade over time unless you manually use a tool which can send the TRIM command to it.
@ruprectaus: cheers, maybe cancel the new order then? It's really just for old hdds to use as thumb drives (120-320GB) that aren't the latest tech anyway.. probably shouldn't be working off it but like being able to unplug.
Speeds on CrystalDiscMark are around (Read 4000-420, Write 138 MB/s - Q8T1/Q1T1)
It's an old drive but the samsung looks good in the enclosure. Will have to think about that.
Any idea if the Amazon one is better?Cheers,
i just bought 2 from that ebay link to replace 2 very old black ones i have because they are not clear like these to easily see what drive is inside them
Just tested the Amazon one, also shows up as a 'disk drive' not SSD in windows.
Not really a bit issue, easy enough to optimise/trim it yourself when you do a defrag etc.
Prefer the clear look of the Orico, quality simlar i'd say the Orico a bit better (and thicker cable), and has a blue/red light.
May as well send Amazon back. probably didn't need but handy having a spare to bung in old drives
