This is about as simple as it gets to use and has a solid build that feels very secure. USB 3.0 helped a ton when cloning my old drive to the new ssd I was installing and I then kept my old drive in there as a back up.

Used to host old laptop hard drive to support moving data to new laptop. Now using as an external drive for data backup. Just installed old hard drive and it worked right away.

Got this to turn some of my older hard drives that I wasn't using into external hard drives for extra storage. Works well, and screw driver is included to assemble the enclosure when the drive is placed inside.

I picked up a couple of these to put the old spinning laptop drive in after upgrading to SSD. It's a great way to make use of something that would otherwise just sit and gather dust.

I desperately needed to get access to information I had stored on my VERY BROKEN laptop. Quick trip to Best buy and this little beauty saved the day! So easy to use...if I can do it, TRUST ME, you can too.

needed an enclosure to use the hard drive from my old Laptop on my new one, this worked perfectly. Was easy to use, no real setup needed other than opening it up and putting the hard drive in.

Good storage little gadget. Good to serve as a backup for photos or important documents!

Hi quality aluminum case and has everything you need to make your own portable high volume storage drive alot cheaper than other portable drives.

great product, used this to transfer my files from my laptop that broke. used this to put my ssd and was able to transfer most of my files. great product and easy to use

Easy to access and put in an SSD. I was looking to get this item quickly so I could clone an existing HDD a little easier. It was simple to use and worked great.

My granddaughter has a laptop and she broke it. I needed to remove the hard drive to transfer all the programming to another computer. The enclosure was just what I needed for the job. Inexpensive and easy to use.

I am very pleased with this external hard drive enclosure and it makes it quite easy and fast to utilize files from old drives without needing to transfer unneeded files and take up hard drive space on my new lap top.

I used this to manage and handle my old hard drive which did not fail though the pc it came from was useless. It works fine and was easy to install the internal HD removed from my old laptop to use with a new machine.

Great case for my old hard drive that still has info I may need to access, while keeping it safe and so much easier than having to swap.

I'm an IT professional and have recently purchased four 2.5 inch drive enclosures. I install spare ssd drives in them and use them to transfer data. They are larger than a flash drive, but on large copies of small files, an ssd drive in an enclosure can operate about 2 orders of magnitude faster. I tested this drive by writing 272,000 files totaling 149GB. Through a USB 2.0 port, I got about 28MB/sec beginning with large files, then a drop in speed on the small files. I stopped and switched to a USB 3.0 connection which gave me about 260MB/sec on the large files. So that's OK, about 10 times faster. On the small files = about 270,000 at a few k each, I got about 225 files/second, say 15-20 MB/second. On a thumb drive, writing just 10,000 small files to a single folder might go at may 2-5 files/second. So, bottom line, performance is fine and appears on par with the best name-brand and off-brand USB 3.0 enclosures I've used. Price was about $15.00 less than the most expensive one and a few dollars more than the cheapest. Build quality is fine. Case is aluminum. USB 3.0 cable included. I'm quite satisfied with this device. Of course, to avoid the folder indexing issues with thousands of files, It's all ways faster to zip entire folders, then transfer them as single files. Working like that, this type of product is a game changer as it really let's high-speed USB shine. This Insignia enclosure has worked out fine for me so far. Highly recommended based on my experience with it.

flawless, easy to use, good sale price. used to recover data from failed laptop. even came with a small philips screwdriver too.

This was desperately needed to get data off of my old computer and get it onto the new one. I was impressed with the Ease of use and other Capabilities this item had for a low price

My old hard drive I need it for some back up files and easy install works perfectly

Took a hard drive that I wanted to keep from a laptop I had upgraded. This enclosure was so easy to use. All necessary tools, which were few, we're inside the box. I would definitely purchase this again.

The mother board went out on my old Dell machine. Since the hard drive was fine, I was able to pull the drive and get data moved to a different laptop. Could not believe that it all worked so well a forum described.
