Question

Yes you can, however it only supports SATA II and is very slow. I would find something that supports SATA III. I cloned two HDD's to SSD's with it and it worked.

Peter · Answer

Yes you can But I was not able to get the rated speed as I would have expected for usb 3.

Joel · Answer

Yes

Alex · Answer

Yes you can put an SSD disk inside, but you will loose performance, since USB 3.0 is slower than SATA

StevenDiz · Answer

You should be able to put any 2.5" Serial ATA device into this. But, if you do put an SSD into it, you are restricting the speed at which the drive can get data to the computer. USB 3 is fast, but not as fast as an SSD plugged directly into the Serial ATA bus of your computer.
