this is how to retrieve old files if you have one of these old hard drives this one i'd say 2.5
inches the size of it and it has a physical disk inside this one it's ssd no disk charge memory
chip but this one has a really a disc inside that spins it's from my older computers back
in the days i was curious what's on this what i did had put files on those and i have my small
computer here it's a form factor it's a very small one uh and i do have usb ports and i got one of
these devices it's kind of a connector maybe i'll link a few from internet five bucks maybe 10 bucks
it says sat on it just go ahead and uh plugged in notice there's a small connector and the larger
one and you need to match them small and large just go gently so you don't break anything but
it should be a problem and just have a look close okay just make sure it's pressed all the way in
and now it depends on the usb port you have um if you can find a usb port that's high power it has
a blue tab inside then you need to use only the thick cable usb connector if you don't have those
just plug both of them into different usb ports but i do have a high power usb port and just
check the lights here as i plugged it in and let me just show you my screen right now it's a blank
and you will see it will pop up the file explorer just rotate the other side
and just listen to the disc spinning
i don't know if the camera can catch the sound
but i could feel it the vibration of the uh hard drive and uh yes this is
the files that i had back in the days you can also transfer files and i did notice it's actually
much faster than a regular uh usb or k uh now this computer has only usb 2.0 so if you have to
3.0 it's going to be perhaps even faster this one were really really slow and actually i used
this usb case i wanted to back up my files backup videos and stuff like this and was the transfer
was very slow and also obviously i think this one is a 32 meg gigabytes uh it comes expensive at
some point whereas this let me just see which one this one was 80 gig but this one was 250 gigabytes
say somewhere on the side and uh you know this is really old but 200 uh right there hold a sec
yeah 250 gigabytes so 250 gigabytes that's just my cell phone 250 gigabytes it's a lot of storage and
like i said the transfer is really really fast i was actually impressed and this replaces a lot of
usb case so if you need a backup these things are really handy and they sell for nothing they are
absolutely cheap you can also do exactly the same thing with an ssd so you don't have
to buy an external ssd this is an antenna ssd it's just typical ssd again it's a 2.5
mind you what i want to actually suggest is every time you want to disconnect this thing
go ahead and let me just see if you can catch that thing go ahead and disconnect just eject it just
like you would eject any regular any regular usb so that's stopping it it doesn't spin any longer
and then go ahead and unplug the usb you really may want to do this safely and you can do the
same like i said with any ssd again this one it's a 2.5 size uh this one is 250 gigabytes i think
and it goes exactly the same way just i don't have much space here sorry
and again you see you need to have both lights on if you only have one you need to plug the other
usb into a second usb port and these are my files on that ssd so this device which is really very
very cheap and works nice maybe it will get bad because it's really cheap chinese stuff you never
know how it goes but it's really not a big loss uh it works very nicely and it connects your actual
computer through an usb port could be a laptop whatever to any of these older hard drives or ssd
drives and for the people who are really born at the same time as justin bieber perhaps even up to
this is really a physical disc spinning inside it's very very thin it doesn't have electric motor
to it this is the center of the disc it doesn't have electric motor is really by manatees man
induction electrical induction or something like that but it does definitely has a small
disc inside and not is the size it's almost the same as an ssd it's very very small
it's just slightly thicker but definitely has it it's really fine too fun to see this spinning
inside and you feel the vibration on it okay and again don't forget to disconnect every time
just like a usbk you do before unplugging the usb port thanks for watching
