SABRENT USB 3.0 Enclosure for 2.5” & 3.5” SATA HDD/SSD – Tool-Free, UASP, LED Indicator, Plug & Play, Power Adapter & Cable Included – External Hard Drive Case for Windows/macOS/Linux (EC-KSL3)

Excellent hard drive enclosure. I used this to house a WD Green 3T hard disk that I rescued from a failed WD My Book. The drive was easy to install and works perfectly. This was the perfect solution to save a good disk trapped in a failed backup device. Highly recommended. Definitely recommend to a friend.

About as small as can be and hold a 3.5in drive, full speed with a WD Red Pro 18tb (280MB/s) and around 45C while doing surface scan. Would have preferred there was more airflow, but it is perfectly safe to use. Same with feet on the bottom, but that's cheap to add after. A little fiddly to get a 3.5in drive out, but if you're looking to swap more then probably better to use another type of enclosure. This is more for turning your drive into a mobile fixed disk. Nice drive enclosure!

This enclosure is all that. I have more than one drive I use it with so I left the cover off. It does have screws that hold the cover if you need them. Ease of use? You almost don't directions which are provided. You just insert the drive at the most shallow angle you can and it just goes right in no fuss. Power it up with the enclosed adapter and plug it in to your USB port. I've used it on drives out of a desktop that gave up the ghost and was able to access everything. If you need to take it somewhere, it's lightweight and portable. Recommend.

I changed my satellite service and had a 3.5 4TB SATA Western Digital that was non-compatible with the new receiver. I decided to change it to a USB Drive. I purchased the Sabrent enclosure. It's solid metal made and simple to assemble. The instructons are quite detailed, but small to read. I photo copied and enlarged them. I used disk management to finalze the disk. It's quiet. The LED serves to indicate that the disk is writing and functional. I then created a backup of the computer files and a Window Image. I have 151 GB stored on the disk. The second disk was a 250 Gbyte Seagate. It was made operable and after reassembly, was installed as an exterior drive for a DVR. An excellent tool for converting disks and resolving problems.

Works great so far, I've not had any issues using it.. I like that it supports both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch drives which is the main reason I tried it. I've also tried other products made by Sabrent, and they seem to make decent quality products. I put in a new WD Blue HDD because I'm mainly using it for an OS backup drive right now. I plan to buy another one so that I can have a large external HDD for backing up other important files. I would strongly recommend this USB enclosure.

Very simple and elegant design, works perfectly. Just press the button to open the case, slide out the bottom, insert the SATA drive, and push it into the case. The hard part was disassembling my failed WD case and removing the bare hard drive.

This SATA HDD enclosure is perfect. I pulled it out of the box, pressed the single button to open the outer case, slipped in my 3.5" HDD, closed up the case, plugged in the USB cable, booted up the computer, and VOILA! The drive was instantly recognized and worked like a charm. I tried it with some smaller SATA drives and it also worked flawlessly. Because I was merely transferring data from old drives, I didn't bother screwing the drives into the enclosure. However, if you wish to do so (and I highly recommend that you do if you will be transporting this), there are screws and a screwdriver provided in the box. Sabrent couldn't have made this enclosure any easier! It's the best HDD enclosure I have owned (and I have had a number of different variations over the years). No more dodgy HDD toasters for me.

First off, this drive is pretty good, it works with both 3.5" and 2.5" drives. It reads and writes quickly and it runs well overall. It is simple to use and set up. The reason for my rating is that mine keeps on turning off completely randomly for some reason. It has even done it twice while it was transferring files, including towards the end of a 45 minute transfer. I have checked the connection to the pc and the power and everything seems fine. 90% of the time it works great and does what it should. It hasn't corrupted the drive or anything so that's a plus but still strange that it has these interruptions. It just disconnects and then a moment later reconnects. If it keeps happening or gets worse then I will be sending it back and I will try another one.
