    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.

    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?

    • @TheEasyWay
      @TheEasyWay  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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

      Internal HDDs converted are external are more reliable. The externals being sold often have faulty internals inside

    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.?

      @TheEasyWay  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    Is it safe to use or will it decrease the life of the hard drive?

      You can go to disk management and erase the whole disk to create a single partition that can be used as an external drive
