Setting it up was simple, just popped the drive in, closed the case and then plugged it into my laptop via USB-C. It worked straightaway without any drivers or software to install. My Mac recognised it immediately as a usable drive. Transfer speeds have been great. I haven't noticed any slowness when transferring large files, everything feels smooth. The build quality feels solid and reliable, at a very good price. It’s compact and lightweight, which makes it perfect for putting in a bag without adding extra bulk. Highly recommend if you're looking for a hard drive enclosure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with my phone and tablet *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 June 2026* This has been a great upgrade from my old microUSB 3.0 hard drive caddy. The caddy is easy to open as it's held closed by tension instead of screwed shut. The hard drive fits firmly in place, and the USB C connectivity leads to faster transfer speeds.The USB C to USB C cable has increased its functionality as now I can connect it directly to my phone and tablet, as well as my laptop now.Conclusion: The build quality and transfer speed make this easily worth the £16.99 price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for making an SSD portable! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 May 2024* I bought this to replace a cheap caddy from eBay as I wanted a USB-C one instead (modern is better, right?)Suffice to say, I'm really impressed. Some reviews mentioned slow performance, and one mentioned difficulty seating an MX500 SSD into it, but I have had no issues.I am using a Crucial MX500 500GB SSD with this caddy. It was simple to install. The foam either side of the caddy makes the fitment really tight - it holds the drive steady so it doesn't rattle around. It did make the install a little bit awkward, and to remove the drive you have to somehow push it back very hard whilst lifting the back up slightly as there are two catches at the back. However, it is still simple to get in and out.I'd like to address the complaint of "slow transfer speeds". I am extremely happy with the performance of this device. I've been moving Steam games today and it was moving at over 300MB/s to start with, and has settled around 250MB/s, which I am really pleased with. I have also run CrystalDiskMark against the drive in the caddy and attached the results as a photo. Unfortunately I don't have a report of native SATA speeds but the read/write speeds in the caddy are more than adequate!The caddy itself is very lightweight as it's made of plastic, but it doesn't feel brittle or fragile. It's not bulky, but is slightly larger than some alternatives.I have only been using it for a day so will update if anything changes, but so far I'm really glad I got it. Definitely an improvement over the cheapo one I was using before. ## Frequently Bought Together - UGREEN USB C Hard Drive Enclosure USB C 3.1 Gen 2 to SATA Adapter for 2.5" SATA SSD HDD 6Gbps High-Speed Support UASP SATA III Compatible with MacBook Pro Air WD Seagate Toshiba Samsung Hitachi - UGREEN USB C Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA SSD HDD Aluminum USB C to SATA Adapter USB 3.1 Gen 2 Support UASP SATA III Compatible with MacBook Pro Air WD Seagate Toshiba Samsung Hitachi - UGREEN SSD Enclosure, Tool-Free USB C External, 10Gbps M.2 NVMe to USB Adapter/Reader Supports M and B&M Keys and Size 2230/2242 /2260/2280 SSDs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/216274234-6gbps-2-5-inch-hard-drive-enclosure-usb-c-3](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/216274234-6gbps-2-5-inch-hard-drive-enclosure-usb-c-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
