Review: A good design, well built, perfectly executed. - This is an enclosure to take a 3.5" HDD and allow it to be connected via USB. The drive has a 12V DC centre-positive barrel jack to power it, and connects via a USB Type-B connector. Whilst Type-B is pretty uncommon, a Sabrent-branded USB-B male to USB-A male cable is included, and it feels like an extremely high-quality cable. The enclosure itself is made of metal, and it's pretty thick too - the entire thing feels very strong and sturdy. There are holes in the back of the device, however there is so little room around a 3.5" HDD that airflow is going to be basically non-existent anyway. The metal design does make the device better for heat dissipation than other enclosures I have used though. Getting a HDD in might look difficult as there's not too much room, however I found it very easy to get my drive in, and I didn't feel like I was doing anything that could damage my drive at all. The enclosure also has four four screw holes in its sides so that you can screw in the HDD to keep it fixed in place, and screws and a small screwdriver are included with the drive - Note that the enclosure includes four screws of both 6-32 UNC and M3. This is fantastic, as I really dislike enclosures where the drive can rattle around inside the enclosure, as that can weaken or break the SATA connectors - that can't happen here, the Sabrent enclosure holds the drive perfectly. There is also a dedicated power switch on the end of the device next to the power input, which is fantastic. I really like this, as you can push it into somewhere such that only the end is accessible, or stack several enclosures on top of each other, and still have full control. There is a button on the top of the device that has what looks to be a power symbol on it, but it isn't a power button. Instead pushing that is what allows you to slide the top cover off and open the enclosure. I feel a better symbol could have been chosen, but once you know what it does it's fine, and since the drive inside is screwed in it's not like it can fall out when you take the cover off or anything. Since I was using a mechanical hard drive, I wasn't able to max out the USB 3.0 connection, but the enclosure was able to keep up with HDD doing 200MB/s for the 43 hours it took me to do a full write+read cycle on the drive I had inside. The enclosure did get very hot during this time, hotter than my other enclosures, but that's obviously good - it's better the enclosure gets hot because it's actually dissipating heat from the drive inside and keeping it cool, rather than the enclosure staying cool because the drive inside it can't dissipate heat and thus the drive gets extremely hot. The enclosure does have an LED activity light, which will blink constantly if the drive is active. I personally found this to be quite annoying, and would prefer a constant light rather than a blinking one. I would like to see versions of this with a USB-A and USB-C connector rather than the uncommon USB-B, but other than the blinking activity LED and the poor choice of symbol on the enclosure opening button, I really can't find any faults with it. Overall, I paid £31 for this enclosure, which is a lot for a HDD enclosure, but as far as enclosures go it's basically perfect. Review: Solid build and quick to set up - Well made caddy which accepts both SSD and HDD disks. I have tried both types of disk and found them amazingly easy to fit (almost no skill required, only gentleness). It is simply plug and play. ## Features - USB Drive Transformation: Turn your 2.5” SATA SSD or 3.5” SATA HDD into a high-performance external storage solution with this sleek hard drive reader.

Yes, this will work fine for backing up your drives. The drive type for your internal drive doesn't matter unless you were planning to remove it and plug it into the external bay (you don't need to do that). As long as your internal drive is readable by your system, that's all you need for this to work. Buy a NEW drive for your backup that will fit into the external bay (SATA, or M.2 if you purchased that version), then copy the data from your internal disk to the external disk. You will then have your backup. Note that while the details specifies that it can support up to 20tb drives, it really only appears to be able to support up to 16tb drives (at least the original one without the M.2 slot). If you are stuck with your system only reading up to 2TB's of disk space, but you have a larger drive, that means you used the wrong partition style (MBR), for larger than 2TB capacity drives you need to use the (GPT) partition style. **Q: Is the power supply universal (110-240V) ?** A: 12v ps. Provided...do not use 12v supply with 5v drives. Some drives are ranged 5v to 12v . Some just say 5v. **Q: Will this product support a 6TB?** A: You will probably have to jump through hoops to do so. I tried to run in the firmware and kept getting an error. Contacted support and they wanted me to go through some 20 step process to do so and use a file not from their website. Nobody could explain to me why it wouldn't update with the firmware file on their website that had my product specifically listed. In the end I opted not to do it and went with a different product that natively / out of box supported 6TB and larger **Q: Is it safe to use this for media files and run 24/7?** A: Absolutely. I have had mine connected to my PC for 2 months 24/7, and it runs just like an internal Sata HDD. Have a good one! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good design, well built, perfectly executed. *by A***L on 8 May 2024* This is an enclosure to take a 3.5" HDD and allow it to be connected via USB.
