3 5 Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3 0 Internal External Hard Drive Case for 3 5 2 5

Best value external drive container I've ever had. This is lightweight, but durable. Though it lacks a fan, which would make it best overall for both HD types, it does well enough. I have a HD disk in it now. It's been there sitting on top of my tower for over a year. No disk heat stress detected, and I use it primarily for graphic heavy games. Overall: It is compatible with both hard drive types, but best for SSD. The installation is plug-and-play, which is hard to mess up, but I'm positive someone will. The design is mediocre, but the power light may be disturbing for some, so I would suggest covering that with a cloth (just the button), or placing the enclosure out of sight, but with decent ventilation.

Easy install. Works well. Read more

Fit my hard drive like a glove. Real nice. Kind of loud on start-up but quiet once it's running. Read more

Works well when everything is connected and sitting in a stable environment. However, when moving with the drive to my second computer, the case opens easily, making it easier to drop all the contents. Read more

I was piecing together a Frankentower and wanted to return the old SATA drive to the previous owner. This was a good solution since they have a newer computer but still needed their old stuff. Read more

At first this looked like a nice component to save my HDD that had years of data on it and let me access the data while I considered getting a new desktop computer and use my laptop for a while. The transmission rate was reasonable and it was easy to figure out how to place my ard drive inside the case. After putting the assembly together with my hard drive inside I plugged in the supplied cables (usb 3.0 cable) and (DC5.5 mm plug with cable) into the case. Then I connected the cable to the laptop port and plugged in the power adapter to a 110V outlet. Lastly I turned on the device with the Power Switch on the case. Everything seemed to work well. Then a few days later I got a screen message of hard drive failure. I removed the powere adapter and unplugged the usb cable and tried it on another laptop. I got the same message. So after diconnecting power again I opened the case. It seems like the design of the case can allow the hard drive to slide away from the connector partially. In my opinion this caused a power interuption. I DO NOT RECOMMEND using this case. A case that is vertical so that by at least gravity the connection is maintained would be better, such as a StarTech or Inland docking station would be better. Alternatively if the case could be made so that the HDD could be secured from sliding in the case, that might solve the problem. I think I have lost the data - do not use this. Read more
