I agree; got me an external hard drive case and it had to be USB C

edit: my bad, got that orico brand mixed up with my wavlink one. Both cases look identical =_= I had 2 drives get errors recently and that was the common denominator for me. Could be coincidental. One I haven't checked for errors in a while and a samsung QVO 870 or whatever 2TB. Another was known to have issues due to early firmware (which it had, but didn't experience at the time).. I accidently stepped on the usb c head of cable and it got crushed pretty early on
, so I been using some random usb c to usb-a cable or thunderbolt 4 cable I had laying around whenever I needed it. Been too afraid to try again. I was able to do error checking after connecting directly to motherboard and any issues it was experiencing went away. I wish there was a way to properly test and determine if the hard drive case had anything wrong or if it was mere circumstance
I am a new owner of these 2 things.. The chassis that I put them in does such a disservice. I couldn't even use my assassin heatsinks for the cpu because I had lost the plastic bits that go on the corners of the backplane thingy (under the mobo?) so I am stuck with a cooler master hyper 212 or whatever it's called. No discrete gpu at this time. Integrated works fine. Didn't get to play with it really other than a bios update
