SABRENT SSD Enclosure, Hard Drive Enclosure, Super Fast Data Transfer 2.5 SSD Enclosure, Support UASP, External Tool-free SATA Enclosure, USB cable included (EC-UASP)

I originally bought this as a quick way to connect my old laptop drives so that I could make sure that everything was backed up before wiping them. Connecting the drives way easy, as they just slide in while the power's off. The lid just slides forward from the back when you want to put a drive in. Browsing and copying the files was fast and smooth, and there were none of the usual slowdowns you get when transferring files over USB. Where the enclosure came into its own though, was when holding an SSD. Copying files to and from the enclosed drive is very fast. I haven't noticed much of a difference between having the drive connected inside the computer. I've even used it as a boot drive to run Linux, and there are no slowdowns when running an operating system from an SSD in the enclosure. I'm writing the review now because I'm buying a second enclosure for my wife to use, as I've found it so much faster than a regular USB pen drive. Obviously it's bigger than a pen drive, but in my opinion, the massive increase in speed is worth it. The only downside is the cable. It's great and works excellently, but it's USB A on both sides, which tends to be unusual. It's not a major issue, but it does mean that if you break the cable, you're not likely to have a spare to hand. That's literally the only downside i've found to this enclosure though. I highly recommend it :)

Ever since buying a new laptop that has a traditional 5400rpm HDD and a smaller SSD, which is used to boot up my PC, I love just how much faster and better SSDs are compared to normal HDDs. My laptop boots up in about 10 secs, which used to take minutes on my old laptop. However, the SSD is only 120GB in size, so I was looking to get another SSD with more storage space so I could back up the data on my laptop more quickly, as my last laptop only had a normal HDD and I used an external HDD to back up my laptop data and it would take all night to backup. So I looked into getting an external portable SSD and when I saw how more much these cost compared to internal 2.5 SSDs and I discovered SSD internal drive enclosures, I resolved to create my own "external" SSD, using an internal SSD and the enclosure by Sabrent, which is the product I'm reviewing. The enclosure arrived quick and was competitively priced. When I opened the box, it had the enclosure, usb 3.1/3.0 cable to connect to my laptop and some instructions. Once I purchased a 500GB internal SSD, I then inserted it into the enclosure with relative ease and then proceeded to back up my whole laptop in about 30-35 minutes, which was a MASSIVE reduction in time and exponentially faster than running backups on my old laptop. If you want to save some money and create your own portable SSD and not pay through the nose for an external SSD and get more GB for your money, get this Sabrent enclosure and buy a good-value 2.5 internal SSD and save yourself some money! Once you go SSD, you never want to go back to HDD and the Sabrent enclosure makes it a lot easier and cheaper to use SSD.

Great hard drive, worked well, great quality and not too big

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.

Easily installed a SSD in to the enclosure and works on a WIN10 WIN11 PC and is also recognised by my NAS box. Only time will tell if it proves reliable.

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

Well made and easy to use. I use this with an old SSD I had lying around after PC upgrade. Works well with SSD.

It does exactly what it says on the tin with no issues whatsoever! Very neat and tidy and does exactly what it should do which is to house an SSD and transfer data to and from the computer. The supplied lead is of good quality too so no complaints whatsoever. I'm planning on updating my backup drives and there's no reason not to use these enclosures so I would certainly recommend them.

Doesn't Fit Crucial MX500 despite the wrote ( Optimised for SSD ) & that's because of it's tow screws holes design in the enclosure but it worked with other SSD brands & also it can fit other 2.5 old thin laptop IDE hard drives, it's really fast using USB 3.0 on my MacBook Pro mid 2012 9,2 model and it's Aluminum is doing a greate job dissipating the heat as it cools down quietly, The product is slim & not bad except for Crucial MX500 and/or other Crucial Solid State Disks that uses the same dimensions despite being very thin SSD but the width doesn't fit plus it's not easy to be opened and close because the use of screws and I think the other Sabrent metal Enclosure types is better although its bigger and not slim because they seems to be easier to use offering the same USB 3.0 speed .

j'ai payer le prix fort (14.99) ,le jour de mon achat le prix est descendu de a 13.29€..ne voulant pas être mesquin ,je ne renvoi pas le boitier pour remboursement , et acheter au nouveau prix .... pour parler du boitier en alu il fait classe , fonctionne très bien ,il est fourni avec les vis et un minuscule tournevis très utile ainsi que un petit sac de protection .. je pensais que le boitier était muni d'un interrupteur marche arrêt ,similaire au boitier plastique de la même marque ,il y a pas ..

EVERY Sabrent device/accessory I've purchased has MORE THAN EXCEEDED any and ALL of my expectations! ... This hard-sided portable external hard drive "EVA" case is THE BEST YOU CAN BUY! This case is SUPER-Tough and really well made of very strong materials that I am sure will "wear" VERY well in the long-run use and abuse that most people will put these cases through. The zipper "pull" is soft and rubbery which provides a nice amount of grip compared to just a regular stainless steel tab. The lining is very soft without being "linty" and the elastic retainer strap and mesh accessory pocket are very sturdy and well attached to the case's hard, internal shell. It might fit just one WD "Passport" series drive, ... BUT it will EASILY FIT 2 Toshiba Canvio "Slim" drives and still have enough room for both of their "patch" cords AND still have comfortable room left for 4 (or more, if they are super small "low-profile" type) USB flash drives and/or a couple of SD cards with adapters (or USB card readers, etc.)! Compared to any other EVA Hard Carrying Case Pouches for External 2.5" Hard Drives offering the same basic features, this case IS FAR SUPERIOR! ... Especially when you consider that it can be had for around half the price of any "nearly comparable" competitor's hard case for 2.5" external HDDs. SABRENT DESIGNS AND MAKES REALLY SOLID AND SENSIBLE ACCESSORIES. THEY ARE ALWAYS MY FIRST CHOICE!
