Review on πŸ“¦ ElecGear Protective USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure: Waterproof, Shockproof 2.5-inch Portable External HDD/SSD Case Box with Integrated Cable and USB C Adapter by Steven Harmon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Quality materials but slow.

There are 2 INEO USB-C 2.5" rugged cases here at Revain, I bought both. Both are rugged enough for an SSD, but if you're planning on installing a traditional hard drive, this one is better. However, this one sits on a hard plastic surface and the other on a rubber surface, so the other is better if you want it to sit motionless on the table most of the time. I haven't tested them for falls or tried to submerge them in water (nor will I). I only judge them by feel. The bad news is that both are pretty slow. Installed on a desktop computer, the same drive has a reading speed of 500 MB/s and a writing speed of 450 MB/s. Random read and write is only 15MB/s, desktop is around 50MB/s Mushkin drive in question 480GB SATA III SSD (I believe Mushkin only has 1 model with these specs).

Pros
  • Complete kit
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
