In Hard Drive / SSD Enclosures

Fast setup. Nice size. Works well with Macs and PCs if formatted correctly before using.

Compare to my existing Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID Box, this one has one more drive bay. Tested on Windows 7 with three 1TB hard disk as prove of concept. Easy to setup RAID5 as compare to Mediasonic Proraid Box.

I have had other HDD drives fail so I switched to SSD, but I wanted a sturdy case. I have owned a LaCIE Rugged drive but found it really expensive (although durable). I thought I would try building one myself and this case is terrific. Insertion is really easy and requires no tools. It even comes with extra foam to make sure the drive is snug inside. Basically, it's a water-tight case that clips closed and then you put the silicone rubber bumper on. The other reviewer is right--it's not svelte, but I bought this case so it would protect my data. I would guess in order to be waterproof, you would have to make sure the rubber closure over the USB port is closed. Even if it did get in, would it damage the hard drive or just the connections to the case? I don't know. Anyway, no problems with it so far with a Samsung 500GB SSD in place. I love this drive enclosure. It comes with a USB 3.0 cable that seems quite sturdy and stable as well.

I was a little leery about buying this, having been burned in times past, but I'm happy to report it does exactly what it says: Makes a true SAS hard drive visible via USB. I tested it under Linux (Kubuntu 24.04 LTS), with an old HP 146GB 2.5" drive, and experimented with both wxHexEditor and the standard Linux partition editor. I was able to, with the hex editor, literally step through every sector/byte on the drive and easily alter or search. This is a Great Thing for file recovery and similar disk forensics. As far as the partition editor goes, I was able to create a standard FAT32 partition on the SAS disk and write/read files on it. Was it the fastest thing on the planet? Of course not. You're going through the overhead of a USB port plus the USB-to-SAS bridge circuitry. But it WORKED!

Works as advertised. The little slot in the top of enclosure makes it easy to securely insert the drive. I used it to clone a SATA SSD to a PCIe drive using Samsung's Data Migration app and it went off without a hitch.

The case holds the 3.5" HDD's nicely. I store the drives in ESD bags and the bags in the slots and it works well

Works with USB 3.1 Type A and Type C ports. Extremely fast transfer rates when connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port. Heat sink works well to dissipate heat from the NVMe. Very easy to assemble.

Takes 1 minute to attach to my computer....comes with the USB cable and power cord. Plug it in, insert one or two disk drives (either 3.5 or 2.5, either spinning or solid state, press the power button on the unit and my computer recognized the drives in less than 10 seconds. Got initial transfer rates of well over 1 Gigabyte per second for about 5 seconds then it reduced to an ongoing rate of about 200MB per second. Note i use this for secondary drives and have not used it to actually "duplicate" one disk to another. Very happy.

Easy to put together

-Easy to install -Comes with thermal pads which seem to be decent -Good read and write speeds.

Excellente !

Reliable data backups (no corruption) Reliable hardware.

- Takes less than 1 minute to install a drive, tool free installation - When the drive goes to into a low power state, or the computer is off the LEDs turns off - USB 3.1 Gen 2 USB-C connection, so full speed operation with a SATA SSD
