2.5 inch SATA to USB 3.2 gen 1 external hard drive enclosure (Black)

Why did you choose this product over others?:Excellent product. From a good PC accessory brand SABRENT. Not cheap, well built, should last a lifetime. Nice long USB cable.Quality:Depending on your drive, approaches the theoretical limit of USB 3.0.Noise level:With an SSD, silent.Ease of installation:Very easy

Yes good enclosure, this is the only one I have with the USB A male to USB A male, but works very well and will stop me mixing things up. Very easy to pop the HDD into and works straight away and did not drop out like a previous caddy I bought a few years back. Good product, good price a speedy delivery.

I had a spare SSD which i wanted to use as extra storage for laptops in the house. I chose this due to the tool less design by the same brnad as one of my SSDs. It was easy to install my SSD inside and worked just fine. There is a switch to turn off the drive without disconnecting which is great for backup devices. However the cheap plastic case lacks a quality feel which i have had from other enclosures at a similar price point and the annoying bright blue LED indicating that its on cant be turned off and its a bit jarring in a clean setup or darkened area. Not bad for the money and easy to use but details sometimes spoil a good product

Fitted various Kingston and other branded SSD from 120gb to 1tb. Forgot the turn on the "on" switch at the start and thought I had a dead on arrival enclosure at first! Otherwise been running perfectly between a number of different laptop devices call week. Speed of drives access dictated by the physical drive, enclosure meets that expectation. I have 30 years working in IT

Purchased this enclosure to use with 1TB HDD drives removed after an SSD upgrade. Unit is well made and feels solid with no tools required to inserts drives. Use Sabrent before and pleased with purchase.

It is a very cheap, yet performative and great quality solution.The enclosure operates at the manufacturer specified performance without a fault.Thank you Sabrent for not wasting my time for providing a solution for a price I can appreciate.

A nice simple enclosure.Cable length is adequate but your mileage may vary. I use SSD's in these and have no heat issues. The cable is USB A on both ends.

I bought this to be able to connect an SSD to my Nintendo Wii, but I will likely be buying another one of these to use with another HDD or SSD to create a portable hard drive in the future.I've used Sabrent products before, and I've always been impressed with how intuitive their products are and how easy they are to use.In the box there are some instructions along with the enclosure and a USB 3.0 A male-to-male cable. The enclosure is designed for 2.5" inch drives, and it's quite straightforward to fit the drive inside the enclosure.While the enclosure is mostly plastic, it feels very well-made and would offer some protection to the drive inside.The speed of the enclosure is going to vary greatly depending on the drive you have inside it, along with the system you are connecting it to, but I got the levels of performance I expected during my usage with the enclosure having virtually no negative impact on speeds.Overall, this is a great, affordable enclosure that can be used for various tasks. I look forward to using the one I currently have more going forward, but I feel like I will be purchasing an additional one shortly.Update - July 2024: I ended up ordering another one for my PS5, as I had a 1TB SATA SSD lying around that I wanted to use with the console, as I was running out of storage.Similarly to last time, the enclosure is working exactly as expected and works well enough to store more modern games on it without any noticeable performance loss.As a general rule of thumb, these enclosures are only as good as what you put in them, as well as other limitations such as the device it’s connected to. Once again, I'm more than happy with the result.
