||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a drive kicking around on my desk that needed a housing. Nothing fancy; just something to protect it from static and other nasties. This little case was available, so I bought it. Assembly went fast and without fault. I am pleased.

Too small
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The connection works, but the enclosure itself is too small to fit the hard drive, so I don't use it and there is no enclosure to protect my hard drive.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to recover the data from my old (very old) laptop, which just died on me. In less than 15 minutes, I had my old hard drive enclosed in this beauty and hooked to my new laptop. My old files live on without having to dig them out of a backup.
I would recommend this to a friendIt’s a simple enclosure
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this up because I was transferring data from my old mechanical HDD to a solid HDD , I decided to store the old HDD in this unit afterward. It doesn’t seem like it offers much protection, it’s a simple thin plastic shell and the connector plate is also made of the thin plastic ... but it does it’s job

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wonderfully enclosure for SSD drives. Love that you can use the usb c to usb cable or use usb c to usb c cable too. You can use any size of SSD drive in there.
I would recommend this to a friendGood quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of my SATA cables went bad on my power supply. I used this because I thought I fragged my hard drive. Good to learn it was just a cable. The build quality is really nice and the usb 3.0 cable is decently long.

I would recommend this to a friendWorks great! After you install the drive...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I usually do read reviews before I make an electronics purchase, but in this case I didn't read any reviews. This Insignia Drive Enclosure works really well, but my only complaint is you have to unscrew it and take it apart to install your drive, then screw it back together. Doesn't make switching drives very easy. Other than that, no complaints!

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had an old computer with a 2.5" sitting it. Decided to pull it out and use it as an external for my Xbox One. Works perfectly. The quality of the case is premium, surprising coming from Insignia. A little over priced, but work paid for it, so I went with it.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to recover files from a functioning hard drive that was in a laptop with a corrupted Windows 7 operating system.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this to remove info from my old computer’s hard drive. Since my hard drive was fine despite the computer not working, I removed the hard drive from my computer, put it in this, and now I use it as an external hard drive.
I would recommend this to a friendReasonably priced hard drive enclosure
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this hard drive enclosure to use with a drive that I was salvaging from an old MacBook Pro. It worked consistently using the power from the USB port on a newer MacBook Pro. In the past I've had problems using an external hard drive enclosure without an external power source.
