Many of you have leftover hard drives after upgrading to SSD and don't know what to do with them? Instead of throwing them away, why don't we use them to turn them into a large capacity USB?

At present, when the price of SSD has become very cheap, it means that SSD solid-state hard drives are the king in most personal PC - laptop configurations. Everyone is racing to upgrade SSD and gradually put HDD hard drives into oblivion. Many HDD hard drives after being removed from the original devices are left in a very wasteful place. So why don't we take advantage of them for something more useful - turn the unused HDD hard drive into a large capacity USB !!!

How to turn HDD into USB

To turn an HDD into a regular USB, you will need a 2.5-inch HDD for laptops. Of course, a 3.5-inch HDD for PCs can still be used, but with its large, heavy, and bulky size, this is not the optimal choice to turn it into a portable USB to carry around every day.

And if you already have a 2.5 inch HDD, follow the steps below to turn it into a portable USB with huge capacity.

There is nothing too complicated about turning a 2.5 inch HDD into a USB. All you need to do this is a hard drive enclosure and of course your old hard drive is still alive and working normally. Most HDDs removed from laptops today use SATA interfaces, so you don't need to worry too much about whether the plug is suitable or not because IDE or PATA interfaces are no longer popular.
