It does not give any type of instructions of how to use it. I would have thought that because it was a holder for a hard drive that there would be some guidance on how to transfer data, but had to google it.

My Mom's laptop computer stopped booting up, but she still had a lot of files on the hard drive that were not backed up anywhere. I opened up the computer, removed the 2.5" hard drive (laptops are 2.5", desktops are 3.5") to make sure it had a Serial ATA connection. Once the hard drive is out of your computer (or a new 2.5" drive is purchased), just plug it into the enclosure, put the couple screws in, "plug and play" using a different computer to be able to access your files as an external drive. This enclosure worked perfectly, and I'd definitely recommend it to others in a similar bind.

Just replaced my hard drive with an SSD and decided to use the old one as a back up.
Bought the enclosure to make it easy to access the drive and keep it safe.

I replaced my laptop drive with a SSD and put the old drive in this enclosure. The usb 3.0 is crazy fast and provides a great portable place to store pictures and old files.

It was easy to put the hard drive into the case and extremely easy to use. There is one USB card and it plugs easily into the USB for the computer. It was a good idea to use this product.

Mother board in laptop died and I needed to get at some of the data on the hard disk. Took less than five minutes to pull and then put hard drive into the case. Plugged it into a USB 2.0 port and the computer system found it instantly.
