ESRPortable External Hard Drive Carrying Case, Pouch Holder for Computer Accessories, Sleeve Storage Organizer for Battery Pack, Wireless Mouse, Cables, and Earphones - Black

I purchased this in 2023 and it is holding up really well! It's on the back of my laptop, on top. Sometimes I put a hard drive in it and plug it into the laptop; sometimes I put in small documents that I am working with and tote my laptop around with them in there. This has been a fabulous purchase. I'm tempted to buy a second one to put my small notebook in and my hard drive. And Carry them around with The laptop all the time. Obviously I would buy it again.

I bought this because I use an external drive constantly and the cord was getting questionable. The cord is impossible to replace but the drive still works, so I tried this to see if it would keep the drive more stable. Yes! It does! My drive lives on the top of my machine and the drive doesn't eject every time I breathe. I can now move around freely without fear of the drive ejecting. The pouch is, of course, large enough to hold a compact 2t drive and would easily hold a phone. The drive stays put, but a thinner phone (especially without the case) may slip out of it. If it's in a case (especially a rubbery one), it should be fine. Seller was very prompt with processing the order and delivery.

This portable hard drive laptop pouch is great. No need to find a space on a desk or random place to forget it anymore. The cord also fits. The hard drive does not slip out whether the laptop is upright or laying down. I just connect the cable while still in the pouch. The pouch an easily be removed if needed.

I love mine and it's been beyond helpful to keep my ext. drive close. I only give 4/5 because I wish I could re-stick it to my new laptop case.

Holds on well to my laptop!

The pocket is... looser than I expected.You can see in my photos that the top edge of the stretchy fabric is loose enough to gap at the opening. (I removed the SSD and pulled the rubber band away in the second pic so you can see this gap is not a caused by the item or my modification)The fabric gives no tension/resistance and my SSD (Sandisk extreme) slips out easily with even minor movement, like closing, carrying, and taking my computer in/out of my bag. Gravity will keep things in the pocket if dont do any of those things, but in that case I suggest you save yourself a few bucks and just set your drive on your desk.Not sure if I got a dud or if this is how it’s supposed to be, but the pocket edge doesn’t look like this in the product photos so I assumed the fabric would be attached to the back piece with enough tension to lay flat and “hug” whatever is put in there.I was also intending to keep some USB sticks in it, but it’s definitely not secure enough for that!I’m keeping it though, because I found a fix that seems to at least secure my SSD well enough — a strong rubber band around the whole pocket, near the opening. This adds enough tension to keep the SSD from falling out and doesn’t affect adhesion at all. I used alcohol and a microfiber cloth to remove dust and grease from my computer surface and the silicone backing sticks strong even over the rubber band. The rubber band will, however, loosen over time and eventually break, so I’ll have to keep a close eye on that.(A piece of elastic inserted inside that top edge of the fabric would be a better, more durable solution, but I can’t see a way to do this without probably ruining the pocket.)I’m not going to keep USB sticks in there as planned until I thoroughly test (at home) if the rubber band reliably keeps them from falling out. Maybe I’ll add a second rubber band for good measure...

Great

I'm a photographer, and I have a small SSD I plug into my computer when editing images. Prior to buying this, the drive would just dangle treacherously from my computer, and easily got disconnected if bumped into. Now I just stick it into the pocket, and it stays secure even when I move my computer around. Such a simple yet ingenious invention, definitely glad I bought it!
