    Every time I connect it I have to make sure not to hit the cord connecting to the PC because once you hit it the external enclosure disconnects. I’ve bought the Startech one and it’s way better.

    This enclosure seems like it'd be decent, it just didn't fit my drive. The box could have been labeled better about which drives this will fit. If you have any drives that are taller than normal, this will not work at all.

    I put three different hard drives into this enclosure and they all worked for a little while. I would start a massive transfer to test the setup and they all failed. I put one of these drives in a different enclosure and it worked fine. I bought this one because it was cheap and it was.

    I am not too happy with the speed of transfer even though I was writing to an SSD. Wanted to return it but got too busy with work and now it's few days past return date.
