Review on Ultra-Fast MiniPro 8TB eSATA 6Gb/s, USB-C Portable Solid State Drive SSD by Brandon Woodson

I bought this case with the intention of installing an SSD in it and connecting it to my computer (tower configuration, 6Gb/s bus speed) via the eSATA port. I had another 2.5" eSATA/USB enclosure (Vantec NexStar) that I also tested. For testing, I used the same eSATA port on the computer and the same SSD in the cases. I used my ROM bios to verify that everything is configured correctly and that the SATA3 enclosure (6Gb/s) and the SSD appear correctly on the computer's eSATA port. I also checked the internal SATA SSD tested. I used CrystalDiskMark to compare each configuration As expected, the internal SATA SSD was fastest and close to transfer speed (6Gb/s). The Vantec NexStar case was slightly slower than this one. The MiniPro case was a little less than HALF the transfer speed of the other two. I think it actually transferred to SATA2 (3Gb/s) instead of the advertised SATA3 (6Gb/s) speed. Gb/s).had cables to this case that come with the kit. There are many useful cables in the kit but all are too short except for the cable from the power supply (about 6ft ov). If you are connecting this case to a tower computer that sits on the floor and you want the case to be placed on a desktop or desk (typically 2.5 feet off the floor), you will need 3 inch cables to connect it to the computer in the tower case. to your table or table. The eSATA cable was 2 feet and too short. The remaining cables were shorter. If you have a desktop/desktop or laptop computer, the cables that come with it can be quite long. After doing these tests, I returned the MiniPro case and kept the Vantec NexStar case.
