Their behavior can be strange depending on type of drive contained, HDD or SSD. And can even make a contained SSD look like a HDD, to Windows 8.1 at least. A couple of ORICO types (2588US3 & 2595US3) have given me much trouble. They may do fine for NAS, but not containing a running OS drive. So far the Tek Republic TUE-300 seems to avoid any disconnect problems, but Windows 8.1 sees a contained SSD as a HDD? Ditto for the USB 2.0 Kingston SNA-DC/U. Other applications like Defraggler can read through the enclosure(s) and see what's inside correctly? There's much about these inexpensive enclosures I don't understand.

I'm all new to this so I didn't even understand a word you typed. I'll learn, I'll learn one day.
