Recently, due to various demands, a series of pick-and-play of storage devices began to be used. In the process, some knowledge of this direction is gradually accumulated. Baidu's information is not very timely. The update, so decided to share every device in the aunt's home.
Recently became fascinated with mining, so he started several newifi3, newifi2 has already shot. But mining must be hung on the hard disk. Relatively speaking, it is cost-effective to assemble a 3.5-inch hard disk by itself, because it does not pursue speed and only pursues existence.
So find some idle hard drive, coupled with the hard drive box, you can use it directly.
For a computer professional, for the storage device speed requirements, in the objective conditions to find the best, so tpye-c interface hard disk box ran into my eyes.
This is a giant hard disk box shared, Orrick MD35C3, support usb3.1 gen2 10Gbps transmission silicone shock-proof design.
ORICO MD35C3 3.5-inch Type-C Aluminum SATA3.0 Chip Free Tool HDD Enclosure SATA Serial External Box Support 8T HDD, SSD Silver 138 yuan Jingdong direct link 
There are four colors to choose from, the price is between 120-140.
Appearance GalleryFeatures:
Type-C+ Aluminum Shell + SATA3.0 Chip + Free Tool + SATA Serial Port + Support 8T Hard Disk
TYPE-C positive and negative plug, 6Gbps rapid transmission, support 8TB mass storage, aerospace aluminum-magnesium alloy wire drawing panel + ABS material, better heat dissipation, clip-free tool-free installation.
However, it is a one-time installation and it is not easy to open it after installation.
Using the chip: VL716
VL716 is the latest USB 3.1-SATA 6Gbps bridging controller VL715 and VL716 that VIA has launched recently. It has passed the USB-IF organization certification and natively supports USB 3.1 10Gbps high-speed transmission standard.
Ultra-high-speed control chip design leader Wei Feng Electronics' VL716 USB3.1 to SATA 6Gb/s bridge chip has received USB-IF Association Super High Speed ​​USB certification. The VL716 has USB Type-C transmission support and was the first product to be selected as a USB Type-C KGD. USB KGD is a USB-IF quality benchmark that is used by the USB-IF official for product specification and compatibility testing.
In addition to 10Gbps data rates, the VL716 integrates all expected features including a high-performance, BOM-optimized, low-power USB SATA bridge chip and integrates a 5V to 3.3V linear regulator with 5V to 1.2V switching capability . The VL716 is small in design, uses an easy-to-manufacture 6x6mm QFN 48L eco-friendly packaging technology, and is fully compatible with USB storage support for any of the latest operating systems including Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, and Android.
Product parameters:
I don't know if it's emasculation of chip performance. The maximum speed is only 5 Gbps.
Appearance Gallery:
Packaging is a long box, not heavy.
Pulling is a kraft-colored box package that opens.
Open, under the circular hole is the power and data line + plastic bag wrapped aluminum alloy cover.
All content: aluminum alloy cover + plastic cover + power + data cable + manual + warranty book + chip.
That's right, the chips are individually packaged and need to be installed.
Because of the speed, I chose the usb type-c interface, but the performance really disappointed me.
Test PC: ASUS n550, usb3.0 interface
Test Hard Disk: Hitachi 5400rpm 500g Desktop Hard Disk
Test program: copy large files to see the average speed + HDTune Pro software testing
The red box shows a not surprising speed of 35M/s.
Select a 2.2GB MP4 file and copy it to your hard drive.
The speed is about 40M up and down, stable at about 38M/s.
Copy the file out of the hard disk, speed is maintained at around 135M/s.
The overall performance is quite satisfactory, not too worthy of the type-c name.
According to the promotion speed of the product 5Gbps conversion:
1G=1024M
1M=1024K
1K=1024B
1B=8bits
Bandwidth and rate are not a concept. The rate can be limited by the operator. The bandwidth is determined by the physical properties.
Strictly speaking, the units K, M, and G in the communication field are different from the K, M, and G, which represent the amount of data in the computer. In the communication field, 1G is not equal to 1024 (the tenth power of 2). It is 1000M (10 of the 3rd power).
Therefore, 1 Gbps is equal to 10^9 bits/s=10^9/8=125 MB/s, and 5 Gbps is 625 M/s.
Of course, this speed is the limit value, and the transmission speed is related to many aspects. However, the current test speed is too far away. After all, the interface is usb3.0+type-c.
to sum upadvantage:
1. The appearance of Seagate's 2.5-inch mobile hard disk is just huge
2, hard disk into a stable sponge
Disadvantages:
1, the price is slightly higher
2, the speed performance is not satisfied
In summary, if you want to experience speed, it is recommended to buy more capacity, 7200r/s.
If you just mine like mine and don't care about speed, you can choose orico's plastic hard drive box.
Thanks for watching.
