So I got this because I had a computer that crashed hard. I was suspecting that it was the hard drive but instead of spending ton of money and time on troubleshooting the problem I bought this enclosure. Installing was easy and it's P&P so no major issues with that. The problem turned out to be the hard drive so I wasn't able to recover my information off of it using this product but it worked an I did get to use it for another hard drive and it worked perfectly so I would recommend to a friend thanks.

Having quite a few spare hard drives floating around this contraption was just the ticket to help me find out what was on everything.
Cheaper elsewhere but I couldn't wait.

I had replaced my laptop's hard drive with an SSD and wanted an external enclosure so I could use the hard drive as a backup device. This Insignia enclosure filled the bill for me. The only problem I encountered is that it doesn't always run at full speed, but I can't prove where the problem lies. Otherwise, it works as advertised.

Needed an external hard drive case for my macbook. The ribbon gave out and wasn't reading my drive but it was still good. Popped it into this case, tightened 2 screws, plugged in the usb cord and my hard drive is backup and working. Now it's time to get a SSD.

Great for housing SSD Cards - especially cards that are no longer used in a PC tower but still useful for portable storage.

I purchased the enclosure in order to clone an old laptop C: drive. The interface works perfectly. I've done two more clones since then and every time the process was seamless. It came with the perfect screwdriver to open and close the box and the USB cable.

External drive enclosure

Purchased this item for an SSD drive. I use it on a Mac laptop for my home folder. The laptop has a limited internal drive, therefore I use this to expand storage for the Mac. The only thing I dislike is the cable for the enclosure. It is too thick, and therefore does not bend well for placement on the desk.

good way to "recycle" old hard drives from old lap

Needed a way to protect my data and hard drive while it was out of computer. This worked well, so I decided to buy more to use with hard drives from old computers.
I wish there were better markings to note reassembly. Notches, logo covering both parts of the drive case etc. Somehow I've managed to put all of them together wrong the first time.

The cover fit my hard drive like a glove. It is made from quality material and I love the color. The color matches my existing equipment so my set up look good. The instructions that came with the drive was clear and easy to follow. The cable made the transfer easy and fast. I would recommend both pieces of equipsment to others

This item is easy to use and install a 2.5" SATA HDD in. The cable included is well-shielded, and the included screwdriver is a welcome addition. Be mindful of the size of the screws when removing or replacing the enclosure cover. Great item!

I purchased this to make an external drive for my Xbox one by using the original drive from my PS4. I could not be happier. I've used cheaper enclosures in the past with varying results. This one feels solid and the HDD install is a snap (even comes with a small screwdriver to use)

Best use case: putting an SSD in this enclosure for DIY storage, or cloning a bootable hard drive to an SSD for a system upgrade. In either case, this enclosure gets the job done. Recommended.

Nice enclosure, but no UASP

I bought this to use an external SSD with my iMac, because the original HDD was getting very slow. I like the metal construction and that a screwdriver was thoughtfully included. It didn't come with any foam pads (as I've seen other enclosures do), the drive was just left to float inside. However, the biggest negative is that it doesn't support the faster UASP protocol (and in hindsight I probably should have figured this out from the specifications). Since this was going to be the primary drive for my computer that was a deal breaker. Fortunately the Best Buy return process was very easy.
