UGREEN 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3.0 to SATA III Adapter Supports 2.5 Inch SSD & HDD 9.5mm 7mm External Hard Drive Enclosure with UASP Compatible with WD Seagate Toshiba Samsung Hitachi - Black

If you're like I was, and had harvested a hard drive from a dead computer which had important files which couldn't be retrieved through conventional means (like the document browser in your OS) or the os can't be accessed at all, then this device will make things a lot easier. The device will accept any of those standard external drive chords, which has a USB end on it and will plug into anything with a standard USB input. Two separate medium-high end laptops were able to recognize this with no problem and I was able to access the drive as a spare drive in my computer. Haven't tested with a desktop yet but I suspect the performance is just as good. I then transferred 16,000 music files from a drive through serato to my other laptop and it only took about 30 minutes. Transfer speed is no issue, it's certainly faster than my 500gb Seagate external drive which usually takes over an hour to do such tasks. It has a convenient blue indicator light which isn't intrusive and will blink when it's connecting, sometimes reading tasks, and turn solid blue when it's running the drive at full speed, full efficiency. I've been using it for about two days now, have used two separate 2.5 inch drives and initialized one through disk manager, the other I'm still repeatedly connecting and disconnecting to my computer to analyze files until I'm ready to wipe it and initialize as well. Overall for this price you cannot go wrong, I love this already and it's everything I needed. No need to mess with those cheaper versions which certainly look alot worse, some can snap/bend your pins on your drives and don't even encase your entire drive or SSD into the enclosure safely like this will do. This is much better, much more stable, much more convenient. I would suggest a dedicated version of this for your bigger 3.5 inch drives, as this simply doesn't take that size. Unless you're willing to just spend more on a different device entirely which reads both, this is an amazing device for any smaller drive. It will give easy plug and play access to any 2.5" drive, any standard size SSD, or turn them into a reliable external drive entirely. I've even tossed it around with my 500gb WD blue drive inside it, and the drive is still perfectly safe and reads with no issues. Definitely one of those things I'll keep finding uses for, and Im very happy to have this as a convenient little tool for data retrieval and many other things I can't even think of at the moment. Thanks for reading and I hope you'll enjoy this too.

Worked flawlessly. So far anyway. My last one also worked great for about 5 months. I will update in a few months as to the longevity. That said, this one is much sturdier and has decent foam to prevent the drive from moving around. Very happy that my files were saved and accessible. It was plug and play, I am running WIN 11 and no drivers were needed. Just plugged it in and my files came right up.

Pulled the hard drive from my recently-deceased laptop, and this worked great. Drive installation was so simple, popped right in, and my new computer recognized the device immediately. Great value, cheaper than buying a new external HD

Was able to retrieve data from my old XP laptop. Very easy to use. Product serves its purpose well, so a 5 star from me

Great product.Look simple, nice.Work perfectly.Good price.Will buy again.Will buy nas raid if getting lower price.

My son told me one day that his UAV records large files and he had issue to find big and fast portable drives online. I told him that I have an unused 1TB Samsung SSD, it would be nice if I can find an enclosure that can unlock its potential. This is the one. It took several weeks to receive the product but it is well packaged, well made, easy to put the SSD in and easy to use. The transfer speed is really fast. Write is between 380MB/s to 420MB/s. Read is more than 1GB/s. I tested the combination with a 6.5 GB video file. Then my son tested it with his setup. Needless to say, he is thrilled. Best, he did not spend a penny.

Thank you SO much! The computer repair shop wanted $165 to transfer my data to a $199 new external hard drive. I bought this enclosure on Amazon for $9.99. Less than 4 minutes and my Seagate 2Tb hard drive is working PERFECTLY in its new enclosure.
