Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed a case for a laptop drive I wanted to use as an external usb drive. This case was perfect for my need and is USB 3 compliment. Worked great with my 1tb harddisk.

Perfect for turning an old laptop hard drive into an external drive I can carry around with me on trips. Easy to connect a drive, and uses standard USB A- micro B cable.

I have purchased more than a few of these drive bays/trays in the past, and always with mixed results. The last ones I got promised to be self-powered, and ended up disconnecting when the cable was even lightly touched.... I decided to try the INSIGNIA version that BB sells, and was actually very, very surprised... it used a single USB3 connector - the same as my "professional" drive does and has worked flawlessly since I set it up.... I can say that it was worth the extra couple of dollars to get this one -- very compact and good quality (hey, even I was surprised). i need to pick up a couple more of them.....

Stands up to all the rest & its compact enough to fit in my little bag with all my other gadgets. I feel it will last a very long time & was a great price

I was able to use this case to help me extract info from my hard drive out of my old laptop. easy install of my old hard drive. good price.

Using this case to house my internal drive now replace by an SSD.. No problem, no hassle. Just wish screws weren't involved. I'd have paid $5 more for that. Works flawlessly.

Easy to set up. Installed drive has been working perfectly since purchase several months ago.

This is a nice and compact external case for on the go travel needs and does not need an external power source, just the USB cable.

Excellent hard drive portable case. I use it to use ssd for large external storage.

I needed something to house my old laptops hard drive and this fits the bill nicely...meaning not too many bills to pay for it, and works flawlessly. Highly recommend!

I upgraded my 2012 Mac mini with this insignia ssd drive and it works perfect! Would recommend if you want to upgrade your hard drive.

I spilled water on my laptop about a week ago but and I couldn’t get it back into working condition so I bought a new computer because I’ve been wanting one for sometime now. I needed some important files and folders from my broke laptop so I removed the hard disk and went to Best Buy to get a new computer and this hard disk enclosure. A week and a day in and I haven’t had any problem with it so far. It was also pretty easy to set up. Comes with a screw driver that you’re gonna need. I’m happy with the purchase.

I had plans of installing an SSD into my middle-aged laptop. My only issue was cloning existing hard drive. Enter this enclosure. The USB to SATA made it easy, and because it's 3.0, it didn't take forever. I also used it to pull pictures and documents off of laptop hard drives that I had forgotten about for a long time. Really a useful tool. And if you happen to have an old laptop laying around that you don't need, pop that hard drive in this enclosure. It's a cost effective way to give yourself some more storage.

If you need a case for a laptop/netbook hard drive, this works incredibly well. I've used this for my PS4 hard drive (after I swapped it out), and it's great!

I replaced my hard drive in my computer with a solid state, this enclosure is one of the easiest to install, it’s silent and very fast

I needed a USB adaptor for an external hard drive and this is exactly what I needed, it was very fair priced and the aluminum shell is very nice.

it's sturdy, well made, and easy to use. The only 2 thing I don't like about it is that extra wide USB port. The port usually wear out fast, maybe if there was a housing to hold the plug into the enclosure or the port and plug be embedded to protect it from damage. the other thing is that I wish that the drive could be secured to the control board or the case itself to protect the drive a bit more.

Was building a computer from scratch and needed a SDD, was what I needed. Super easy to format.

If you want to protect your stuff get this! Great storage at affordable price!

I have two older computers that were getting unbelievably slow. Diagnostics showed most of the slowness was due to disk access. I bought two of these drives, and an external enclosure. I was able to clone the older drives to the new ones using free tools from the internet, and when I put them in their respective computers everything started up beautifully and the performance issues were resolved. This was an inexpensive upgrade that made a huge performance difference!
