Purchased this enclosure to attach a SSD via USB3 to my excruciating slow 2014 Mac Mini. The Mac now runs at suitable speeds for my taste.

my laptop died, but the hard drive was still working. I purchased this to mount the HD in order to transfer my data to new laptop. Easy to work and install. A little pricey for a box with a cord.

This enclosure is well made, with complete compatibility with a range of drives with Serial ATA. I use it for a large capacity SSD and it performs as expected. The design is simple and I appreciate that the screws fit flushly on assembly. (many other aftermarket enclosures I've used have fallen short of this)
My only knock on this drive, and this is more of a Best Buy (Insignia is a Best Buy owned brand) issue, is that it is priced a bit steeply for what it is. Many other competitors charge less than $20 for a comparable enclosure you can find at stores like MicroCenter. There is only one of those stores in the area and it is not convenient to me, so I paid extra for convenience.

I've purchased and used over a dozen external USB enclosures over the years. Clearly there are a lot of VERY cheaply made enclosures on Amazon that are easily 3 times less expensive. This enclosure is solidly made and does pretty well as a basic enclosure. I haven't done any performance tests so I can't attest to any of that. If I had any complaint it would be that they should include some type of rubberized cushion for slimmer drives so they don't bounce around inside the enclosure.
