    My laptop origanily had a SATA 1TB HHD drive C. I then updated to a M.2 NVMe 1TB drive C and kept the HHD as drive E storage. Eventualy the HHD was replaced with a 1TB SSD. The USB HDD enclosure now holds the original 1TB HHD and is used for backup storage. Without the SATA enclosure the SATA HHD would be unused and collecting dust. Nice that it can be attached using either USB-C or USB-A/B.

    Replaced my HD with SSD. Turned the old drive into backup. This works flawlessly. It's just a bit slow because I put an old drive into it.

    Great Use of a Old Hard Drive

    I had an older 2.5" hard drive laying around from an old laptop. This immediately turned it into a decent portable hard drive. The read/write speeds are pretty good and the enclosure comes with little, soft pads to prevent any rattling around of the hard drive during transit. Overall, worth the purchase.

    This allowed me to salvage the HDD from my dead laptop. Saved all of my illustrated parts lists, wiring diagrams and more. Extremely easy to assemble and could even easily swap drives out. Would most definitely buy again.

    SSD Enclosure works as intended. Like the price but do wish the enclosure had a little bit better design. Plastic all around so don't drop it obviously.

    i had a 1 TB SATA SSD that would not fit in my laptop, and also needed an external drive to hold a lot of media - this enclosure enabled me to use the SSD, and save money . It was east to set up and works great.

    I had a couple of SSDs lying around and i thought they would be more useful as externals, but it doesnt really make sense to just connect a sata cord to a computer. This is really helpful because not only does it protect my SSD, but it also connects to my computer with usb or usb c.
