2.5" 500gb HD. fast shipping. everything was perfect. works like it should. migrated my system to it and booted right up. no issues

Solid works as expected Bought on sale for $40


Very good price per GB for the 2.5" form factor compared to other drives on the market. Drive was shipped in a very solid yet impact absorbing air pack to prevent any damage. The drive height is very thin at 7mm and very light compared to my 7 year old 2.5" seagate drive. The drive is also very quiet compared to my older drive, its almost silent to the point I don't even know if its on or not. I used this drive as an external USB drive using a 2.5" USB enclosure. I did have to format, partition, and initialize the drive first in Windows Disk Management before the device would show up in Explorer. After that it was simple plug and play for the drive now. Writing to the drive I got an an average of about 22MB/s for a 3GB file. Read speed was about 31MB/s. This was done on the USB 2.0 standard, so USB 3.0 should be alot better.

This enclosure worked very well and did everything I expected it to do. Very simple and easy installation of my 2.5 inch drive. It looks like I purchased a complete external drive when finished.

Bought two of these with the StarTech.com dual drive bay (make sure you get ones with chipsets verified to read 4TB drives!). Been using them to store everything, with the dual drives on the dual drive bay, makes 7.2TB. No problems at all.


low cost no weird noises and functions as it's supposed to 3 year warranty through the seller

Able to replace Dell ST9146853SS in RAID array with no issues

Cool & Fast. Over the last few years we have purchased almost 100 of these ES.3, 1 TB to 4 TB in size drives. They all work great and we have not had any failures.

Beautifully machined HSF. Simple install on my PNY M2 drive. Tiny fan is very quiet, a big surprise. Fit very nicely my MSI Z690 mobo. Plugs into any four pin fan receiver so you can see fan rpms.


I'm rating New Egg not the product as I've not yet used the product. New Egg is my go to place for my computer stuff. I previously wrote a bad review (can't find it to change it) but it was actually for a 3rd seller which actually had a good ending. As did this purchase. I recommend New Egg.
