    Good option for old SATA drives

    The ability to quickly swap drives makes this a nice upgrade over previous versions. Utilizing USB-C as the primary interface also helps. The lid can stick ever so slightly when trying to open it, but I'd rather it do that than just slide open with almost no effort. Performance is about what I'd expect, as the SATA drive will be the limiting factor over even a 5Gbps connection.

    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.
