First of all it's like a black anodized aluminum case, just big enough to fit the 2.5" drive. There is like a small rubber pad on the inside that seems to isolate it and hold it in place, nothing else holds it in place on the inside. The electronics plugs right into the sata interface on the drive, and is the other end of the case cover as well. It ships with 2 small screws and a small phillips driver which didn't work well, i used a slightly larger one i had at home and was able to screw it in tighter. Comes with a short usb 3.0 cable, the standard size on both size (rectanguler), plugged it into my laptop and at first nothing. But i forgot, it was from a ps4 so i had to go into the computer management and repartition the drive, and format it, then it worked fine as an external. It comes with with a vinyl like case to carry the drive around. So overall, it's sort of made cheap, but for the price, it's a great little case in my opinion. I noticed the the usb port was a little wonky as i almost plugged it in backwards (thought i broke the connector) but it's still working (tiny blue led shows disk access). Going to buy a few more of these for my extra drives i have sitting around, and the drive is powered by the usb cable as well, so couldn't be easier then that to add some storage to stuff like your tv, blu ray player, to store all the smart tv apps and things, or to your network router as a network drive. So far working well, and formatted as my F: drive. Update: Ok, assembled 4 of these so far. I did read that one person had problems with the circuit board touching the aluminum case. When you attach the drive, and insert it into the case, try both ways, flip it around, i always found that it fit better one way rather then other for whatever reason, but they all assembled fine. None of mine touched the case, BUT, if the 2 screws get loose, i can see the small soldered ends possibly can touch. So what i did, was the cases come packed with like this black foam, i cut just a super thin layer of it, to cover the ends and just shoved it on top, i'll see if i can take a pic and post it, but it's just the foam, i just pushed it on there, super thin layer lol. So far though, i have one on my ps4 pro, i have one on my network router, i'm using one as a small backup for my laptop, these are great so far. using 3 2.5" drives, 2 standard, 1 ssd, 1 hybrid, they all work fine. Review: Excellent enclosure. - This Thunderbolt 3 NVME M.2 SSD drive enclosure has been a solid, passively cooled, reliable workhorse for many years now, I have taken it on planes, trains, and to many different states in many different conditions. THIS IS NOT WATERPROOF, however it is very durable, and has not overheated on me. I keep PC Games and photos and videos on mine and it's quite fast. The enclosure features a completely tooless design, which has aided in drive formatting and setting up new windows images or cloning drives from my laptop. Seriously this was a great buy and I should have reviewed it sooner, worth every penny. ## Features - Supports Standard Notebook 2.5β€³ SATA Hard Drives. - Ultra Light Aluminum Case provides heat dissipation. - LED light indicates Power and Activity status. - Hot-swappable, plug and play, no drivers needed. - Reverse compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LS31KQG | | Best Sellers Rank | #121 in Enclosures | | Brand | SABRENT | | Built-In Media | Enclosure | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | usb | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (6,942) | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 Megabytes Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00819921011411 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | Mac | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4.9"L x 3"W x 0.5"H | | Item Weight | 2.4 Ounces | | Manufacturer | SABRENT | | Memory Storage Capacity | 16 TB | | Mfr Part Number | EC-UK30 | | Model Number | EC-UK30 | | Supported Devices Quantity | 10 | | UPC | 780746879930 801947367030 809396065378 819921011411 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SABRENT - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Hardware Platform:** Mac - **Product Dimensions:** 4.9"L x 3"W x 0.5"H ## Images ![SABRENT Ultra Slim USB 3.0 to 2.5-Inch SATA External Aluminum - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CAN-OoWdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great small cases for spare 2.5" drives *by M***O on February 12, 2017* Ok, for the price, it's a really good case.
