For the price of this enclosure, I was hoping for higher build quality, I was mistaken. This thing is easily one of the jankiest enclosures I've, ever worked with, metal on metal contact means this thing screeches like a nails on a chalkboard when installing your drive. Secondly, the USB 3.0 B port doesn't go in all the way in it's connection method, making the port more prone to damage. Only if you can get this product for $25 or less would I recommend this.

Exactly what I needed to get the info off the old computer that died. Terabyte HD fit in the case, power and plugged in the USB, and transferred the information and pictures easily.

Ability to access old files and making external drives compatible is what makes the JEE351 a handy add-on. Thanks for the review RichardE, j5create

I had to return it because the salesman did not carefully inspect my hard drive to see if it were the correct enclosure.
He suggested, after my return that I go to Micro Center.
I ordered from Amazon.

A Real Space Saver!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This has saved me so much money and time. I bought a new laptop and saved my old hard drive to use as a back up. Flash drives just don’t last as long and once they go bad, then it may be difficult, if not impossible to retrieve your data.
It saves space on my new laptop because I had a lot of stuff I wanted to keep, but not take up space (clutter!) on my new laptop!
So I recommend this to anyone who uses their computers a lot.

Not plug & play re: drive installs
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This enclosure is not plug and play in terms of swapping installed drives. The instructions inside the box say not to uninstall a drive once it's installed because doing so could potentially cause damage. The damage would be to the internal plastic tabs that have nodules that fit into the screw holes on the sides of the drive. This info should have been part of the product description. Makes this enclosure too inflexible. Returning it.

Some external hard drives come with their own setup software. Others require you to format and initialize the disk. The Hard Drive Enclosure does not have any drivers available. We apologize for the inconvenience.
