    slapped a free Sata drive I got from microcenter 2 years ago in here because I needed to transfer files between laptops, and I didn't have a big enough flash lying around. got a bit more storage now and that useless SATA drive gets to be used as backup storage for my phone's photos. The instructions that came included were also really handy if you've never formatted a drive before; really easy to follow.

    I needed to recover data from my defunct laptop, so an HDD enclosure was a must! The Insignia 2.5 SATA to USB-C HDD Enclosure fit the bill. I slipped the old drive into the enclosure without any difficulty and plugged it in. No tools needed. Easy peasy. FYI: The USB-C cable came with an adapter for an USB-A port and some foam stick-on shims to take up any slack in the case.

    Does what it claims to do, works as intended, only reason for 4 out of 5 stars is because I have connectivity issues so playing installed games through this adapter isn’t great, you can do it but occasionally you will get a disconnect somewhere in the system. [Comes with included USBC to USBC cable and USBC to USBA adapter.]

    I like it a lot but the SSD I’m using is only a couple of years old and I got this because it’s usb-c to usb-c which means it should be fast file transfers. In reality, it’s quite slow but the casing does look cool.

    I purchased this to transfer files from my 2TB SSD that was in my 9-year old Asus laptop to my newer laptop. So far, I haven't had any issues. The instructions for applying the pads inside to ensure a stable fit were straightforward, and the inclusion of a USB-C to USB-A adapter (in case one doesn't have USB-C) is a plus. It may not always reconnect automatically when reawakening a laptop from sleep, so that's my only real gripe, but that's easily fixed with unplugging and plugging back in. So far, it's served me well. The price was good too.

Moreover, the adapter's plug-and-play functionality makes it incredibly user-friendly. It requires no additional software or drivers, allowing for hassle-free installation and seamless operation.

    Excellent case for Samsung EVO SSDs

    Bought one of these to clone my OS onto a larger SSD. Worked perfectly with Samsung EVO 870 2TB on SATA 6GBs and EaseUS cloning software. Used it to clone another storage drive to a larger drive, then swapped the clones into the PC and everything worked perfectly. Tested transfer speeds by backing up large volumes with the spare EVO 850s on both the original PC and laptop running an M.2. Tranfer speeds inside the case on SATA6 are equal to speeds when directly attached to the motherboard. (Some cheap cases have poor firmware that hinders transfer speed). The case is a bit difficult to open, as it should be, but it does open with firm pressure and closes very securely. I have been able to pop SSDs in and out regularly and have purchased more for offline backup purposes.
