Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is good to be able to view old hard drives without adding them to another computer. It can use either a Sata Drive or a regular hard drive.

Exceptional product by all means. I ordered a Seagate 22 terabyte drive and found its installation a little choppy. Formatting the drive through the USB connection as an external drive requires DOS skills. To put it mildly, it was disappointing to learn that Seagate no longer places phone numbers on its products for support. It was also unpleasant to receive a reminder from Seagate support after calling their number in order to remember the necessary DOS commands. Like most things that have become institutions over individuals, Seagate has joined this crowd. The operation of this device is exceptional; again, leave the plastic cover open when in use to release some of the heat since this device does not have fans or cooling systems. It's rather unusual plug for the USB 3 The attached 22 terabyte hard drive does not follow a reasonable power demand from this device, which initially caused the drive to realign its spindles when the power curve dropped too low. Despite this, the device's exceptional reliability comes from following power on top and data on bottom. A consistent power distribution or slightly underpowered Seagate drive and current case are not mentioned in the description, but I do wish it had mentioned their maximum power outage, which may not be 12 volts. It goes without saying that this is a small problem. Once the drive was working, it performed incredibly well. Using a unique USB 3 cable, I can transfer data at least 264 megabits per second. Though I doubt it would, I am tempted to find this unusual cable in a Gen. 2 times 2 format to see if speed improves.

Great way to repurpose old computer hard drives fir record keeping and backups.. I bought a second of these. Works well with SSD and regular HD. Format, clean the old drives up, and wham. Good, and fast. A little bulky, and could use a little weight to not move so easily when bumped. No issues otherwise.

I tested these on a Mac. From a speed and reliability perspective, they work well once you update the firmware. The drives heat up more with the top cover closed, so I find myself leaving it open.

I bought this because I had an old computer with obsolete hardsware, but the hard drive was fine, and I wanted to use it as external storage for my newer computer. This was simple to connect, and it works perfectly!

This enclosure is perfect for dealing with old HDDs hanging around from previous computer builds / teardowns. I found myself with about a dozen old drives and didn't want to invest in a bunch of enclosures to make periodic use of them. Bought this and I can easily use the old drives to archive stuff I don't need continually connected to my computers or NAS. Super practical and not too costly.

It's perfect to use when trying to back up any old drives laying around. Just that if the drive is dead, then it's truly dead which I sadly couldn't save one of my drives, but that's besides the point.

Worked great with every drive I tried. Let me get data off my old hard drives after my old computer died.

Works well with MAC OS and I had no problem wetting it up.
