So easy to use

Simple to use, lots of options available for drive transfers



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!

Using this to backup stuff from a linux computer in a 2.5" HDD, and it works great.

- Solid, form factor, aluminum case that solid and sleek. - Easy to install HDD; connect HDD to connector in the back, screw it in, connect power and USB cables, and you're good to go. - USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Ccble is a good length to connect to my laptop with the external drive on my desk. - Vertical stand base attaches firmly and does not tip over easy.

Easy to install Fast Good design

2 rubber plugs, a sticky thermal pad and a heat sink came with the casing.
