    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!

    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.

    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!

    We were upgrading the SATA drive in a laptop to a fast SSD. To make this an easy process and have an external drive for backups, we opted to buy this while getting our SSD drive from Best Buy. The upgrade went smoothly. The SSD drive went in this enclosure first and then we ran the software to clone the internal SATA drive with the SSD in this enclosure. Afterwards we swapped the SATA drive and SSD and now we have a fast booting laptop and an external USB drive using the older SATA.

The first one I bought as a replacement was doa,But was very quickly replaced, free! Like all tech,some things are doa by By ones fault. I recommend it as a great replacement for normally HDDs. Easy setup and very easy to transfer ALL files from old hdd to the new ssd.

    Thumb drives are easy to misplace and lose. This size makes it ideal for portability but small enough that it's not cumbersome.

    My old laptop wasn't charging anymore when it was plugged in. Thought it might've been the battery, which would've been an easy fix. But it was an internal connection. My main concern was saving the files in the laptop but I didn't want to spend $100+ to send it somewhere to get a backup or get a data retrieval. After some Google searching I found that I could easily take out the Hard Drive and get this adapter and easily transfer it to wherever I wanted! And I can use it as an external drive now!
