I bought a new Win 11 computer and rather than just delete the information on my old one, I took the SSD drive and made a Backup drive by using this enclosure. It works great and I still have info from my old computer.

The purpose is to use used hard drives as storage and a way of transferring very large amounts of data from computer to computer. This handles this very well.

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.

I ordered this so that I could transfer my old game files, pictures, documents, etc. off of my old laptop after it went dead (likely forever). So I ordered a new laptop and took my old hard drive (2.5 sata SSD) out of the old one, slid the old hard drive into this enclosure, and plugged it in. It took a while to transfer (as one would expect), but it worked perfectly. I didn't have to mess with anything a ton besides selecting my files, it was easy to use. My only gripe is that the bottom edge of the enclosure has a tiny lip makes it a little bit harder to slide the drive in- that was the only real difficulty I had with this thing.

I’ve bought two of these for a couple of ssd’s that I needed to make portable. The first one that I use as a media drive for me pc works flawlessly. The second one I was using for a raspberry pi os to run from usb and it would blink the big LED once before powering down. The only think I can think of to cause this issue is the enclosures board pulling too much power, since I used a sabrent usb/sata cable with the same drive just fine. Should work for most things but if you’re having issues, probably best to start with this piece.

I've used this on multiple computers and devices and found the transfer speed to be good. I had some problems when using the USB-A adapter that comes with it, but that might be related to my computer. No problems when not using the adapter. No separate power cable needed.

Very simple way to turn an internal hard drive into an exterior drive. I have loaded things onto it, reformated, and had no troubles. Keep in mind both connections are USB-C which might be a problem with an older machine
