Out of the box working within minutes BUT a drive letter may need to be assigned Excellent value
SUMMARY: The enclosure worked straight out of the box. When plugged into my PC the unit worked straight away with a blue LED indicating activity and connection. When plugged in for the first time the unit allowed me to use my favourite HDD management app to access the SSD and format and set it up for use. In my view the case is of good quality and made to a standard compatibly for housing SSDs. This enclosure provides a hand sized unit which can be handled and picked up and put down after use without worrying about damage to the SSD or the SATA socket on the end of a flying leadVALUE: This is exceptional good value and I will most probably purchase again. In my view the price point of this enclosure is compatible with the price of the SSDs it will house. With some SSD's now in the tens of pounds this case could be 25% the cost of some of the lower capacity SSD's. I would not want to spend more - paying more than 10% of the cost of the SSD for a housing is not good economics.MY NEED: I had a SSD taken from a PC which I wanted to make use off. This enclosure means that I have converted my naked SSD into a useful USB 3 external storage unit.PACKAGING: The unit came packed in a smart cardboard box and wrapped in white plastic bags giving the impression of a premium productCONSTRUCTION I have bought UGREEN kit before and always found it to be well made and of good quality. This is no exception. The enclosure is plastic but for the price paid (just under £10) I expected nothing else. When assembled the case feels solid and the slide on lid firmly fixed. Indeed it is not easy to remove the lid. You need to push and slide firmly so there is no chance that it will fall off. The cable and USB plugs are up to the quality expected at this price point.Some reviewers have commented that the case is "cheap" plastic, the lid loose, and the case not suitable for expensive SSDs. BUT with SSD's now in the tens of pounds it is likely that this case could be 25% the cost of some of the lower capacity SSD's it is housing. In my view the case is more than compatibly priced and of a make quality to house an SSD – I would not want to spend more - paying more than 10% of the cost of the SSD for a case to house the SSD is not good economics. If you are doing that one must question why the cost of the SSD housing is such a large proportion of the total cost.USE: The enclosure worked straight out of the box. The slide on lid required some firm pressure to remove which was good but the SSD was an easy push fit onto the connector. When inserted the SSD was held firmly and did not move around.When plugged into my PC the unit worked straight away with a blue LED indicating activity and connection. When plugged in for the first time the unit allowed me to use my favourite HDD management app to access the SSD and format and set it up for use.BE WARNED: The unit worked out of the box with no problem BUT I did need to set up the SSD by using my favourite HDD manager app to give it a drive letter. Until I did this Windows was not able to see the SSD. BUT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE CASE. This is a normal issue with any HDD or SSD. If it hasn't been given a drive letter and correctly formatted it will not be seen by Windows. So if your SSD is not seen by Windows check if it is correctly formatted and labelled and fix that first. The case worked perfectly allowing me to access the SSD with my HDD manager app.ADVANTAGE: It is possible to purchase USB lead with an attached SATA socket which can be plugged onto an SSD. I already have one of these and it is useful for quickly looking at the contents or formatting and SSD. BUT such leads are not really usable when you want to use the SSD repeatedly and everyday. This enclosure provides a hand sized unit which can be handled and picked up and put down after used without worrying about damage to the SSD or the SATA socket on the end of a flying lead

Usefull drive holder
The item arrived on time and in good condition. On using the external drive holder, I found it easy to use and it functioned as expected which will make life easier, when getting files from my drive instead of swopping with a drive inside computer each time a particular file was needed and this wil enhance my storage capacity of my system. The speed of the unit was fast when it coppied files over with no protection issuse showing up.This item is definately worth getting and I recommend seller and supplier for having a good product that was well designed.

Good caddy. Simple to use l.
It's just a box but it works and the SSD doesn't move. Hopefully it's robust enough to last.

Perfect for reviving an old laptop hard drive!
Used this to give new life to my old 2.5" SATA hard drive from a laptop I retired (same laptop the DVD drive came from, and im still searching an enclosure for it 🥺). 🧠💻 It fit like a glove, connected instantly, and worked perfectly straight out of the box, no drivers or fuss needed. 🔌Transfer speeds are solid, and it’s lightweight but sturdy. The build quality is great for the price, and now I’ve got a fully working external hard drive instead of just a spare part collecting dust. ♻️✨Highly recommend if you're looking to reuse an old internal drive 🥰 worked flawlessly for me! 💛🛠️

Practical at a popular price
Bought on sale. Easy to use and works well with an old Samsung SSD. Very good to use as a backup drive for important files. Will hold laptop drives that are 2.5". If you have a low capacity SSD that has been replaced it can still be useful in one of these.

Simple to use and a boon to make use of old laptop hard drives
Simple and so easy to insert the laptop hard drive. I bought two of these recently to house the hard drives from failed laptops. They work well for use as external drives for backups etc. Terrific purchase.

Fantastic item. Just needs a cable.
Great bit of kit. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Setting it up was a breeze. The only problem was it was missing the USB cable. I looked in my cable draw (don’t judge me) and found an old cable left over from my old external hard drive that stopped working and it did the trick.
