    My new laptop came with a 1 TB DATA drive at 5400 rpm. Even though the computer is fast, the drive slowed it down. I had an SSD in my old drive that was not compatible in the new laptop, but this was worth it. I do find it interesting that external drives are cheaper than the internal drives. I don't understand that, but I wanted the performance!!

    It works. It's USB 3.0. Make sure to use a USB 3.0 port on your device. If you choose to use a HDD with a disk be sure to leave it on a flat surface and not to bump it while spinning. I used it to prepare an SSD for modding my fat PlayStation 2.

    I was working on my taxes when my laptop died. Unfortunately, I had not backed the files yet. Fortunately, the laptop hard drive was still working. I rushed out and bought this hard drive enclosure. It was easy to install the laptop hard drive. I connected it to my wife's laptop and everything was good.

    Laptop had a major hardware crash. I was able to save my work by removing the HardDrive and converting it to a portable harddrive in order to transfer the files to my other laptop. Saved over a $100 by doing it myself rather than having a computer repair tech do it for me. This is the 2nd time, I purchased shell and highly recommend it if needed.

    It was low costing enough to buy on a run and emergency. I am a student at college and it works with the San Disk 240 gb ssd. I am not a fan of the cable type, in general. But overall satisfied with my purchase. Plus, because the busy bee workers were indeed helpful both a plus for gender equality.

    Easy to use and gives the ability to access 2.5" hard drives made for laptops that are not installed on a system any longer. Removes the need to have to install and remove hard drives in order to access data. Can double as a portable disk to allow for extra storage for a laptop or personal computer. Very durable design.

    The case is easy to use, it even includes a screw driver for the installation. Had an SSD running in 10 minutes. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy again should I need a simple external case.

    Found my old laptop but couldn't get it to boot up. Hubby dismantled the entire insides and gave me the drive to find a case for. Viola! Was simple to fit in and now have all my pictures stored in a safe place along with some important documents I had been searching for. Life is good.
