I could transfer all of my data from my laptop that doesn't turn on to my new one quickly and easily!

Compact and tough USB 3,0 enclosure. Used for external SSD. Simple installation.

Great product for fast connection of 2,5 HDDs, works great, good quality

Easy Installation! Was able to access my Internal 2TB Hard Drive without a hitch. So far, So good

This is my first external HD case and it works pretty good.

But after using it for about 3-5 minutes it would "unexpectedly eject". I have a brand new Macbook Pro and wanted to import data from my old Macbook Pro drive. The drive would stay active for about 3-5 minutes, then I would get a message that the external drive experienced an "unexpected ejection". It appeared that it didn't have enough power to keep the drive going. I tried it in the other USB port and it did the same thing. I find it hard to believe the port's are weak in power. I will try a different brand enclosure; if it does the same thing I will get a device that is self powered. I never had trouble with the drive while it was in the old computer, so I don't believe it could be the drive.

The box said it would support any 2.5 hard drive but it does not support 15mm height drives. They should change the advertising as it is simply not true.

Absolute piece of trash. Failed within the first day of use. Unfortunately, I unboxed it at work and the box and receipt were picked up overnight. Otherwise, it'd be back at the store. Currently, it's serving its only useful purpose: doorstop.

at first, it works beautifully, then 6 months later it dies, ive gone through 2 of these so far and i can honestly tell you, if i didnt need to get files of my drive immediately i would not be purchasing this ever again.

Not enough power for drive without external power supply. USB didn't cut it.

I purchased this device to connect an extra SSD drive to my notebooks. The quality, for $30, is unacceptable. The USB connector does not fit snugly, so the connection drops. I would not buy again.

It's held up OK over the two months I've been used it. However, the port on the outside of the enclosure has a short. If I move the enclosure it tends to disconnect from my laptop.

Terribly designed. Pick a different sata to usb. This is not what you’re looking for.

Connection issues and glitching disks. BUYER BEWARE

So I am just like the rest. My drive worked for 3 minutes and then no more. Does not spin up drive now. Put another drive in thinking maybe my drive faild or was burned out but no, the other drive did not work in the enclousure either. Besides it not be recognized by the computer you can tell the unit does not spin up anymore. Bestbuy should do the honorable thing and pull the product. There are to many products they are selling that do not do what they claim.

I also have the same problem with the derive being ejected randomly. The first time I tried copying a few GB of data to it, the drive ejected and then reconnected in the middle of the copy. I haven't had any problems with any other USB drive before. It will be going back to BB today. My system details...

1st off, this is the same one as the Dynex- 2.5" Serial ATA Hard Drive Enclosure - Black, just with the insiginia brand on it. Both Best buy house brand. I got this because i needed to perform a back up on my macbook pro to swap the HDD and it just kept shutting off by it self while i was doing the back-up. Turning off and turning on. I returned with in the hour of me wasting my money. Do not buy. Do not waste your money. Do not pass go.

Must be a bad control unit! It dismounts the hard drive during the formatting process! After that it repeats mounting and dismounting the disk over and over again. I tried several disks ( including a brandnew intel 530 ) over multiple platforms (win7, win8, mac) and the problem persists. The only time I managed to format a hard drive with this enclosure, it failed me while I was creating a new folder! It is ridiculous.

After about 2-3 minutes of plugging this thing into my MacBook Pro (which has USB 3.0 ports) it randomly ejects the drive over and over again. At first I thought it may have been the hard drive but then I tried 2 other hard drives with the same results. I used my old USB 2.0 enclosure and all those same hard drives work perfectly fine, so without a doubt its this Insignia enclosure thats the problem. Lesson learned, read reviews before you buy.

After installing my hard drive I was able to see my files but received "disconnected" errors when trying to add files to the drive. I was able to continue to navigate through my folders, on the drive, and see my files even after the errors. I returned the unit and tried again with a replacement. It had the same issues. After switching to a different brand I was able to read and write files so I know the issue wasn't with the hard drive.
