Review on πŸ’» SABRENT Tool-Free External Hard Drive Enclosure 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 [Optimized for SSD, UASP SATA III Support] - Black (EC-UASP) by John Wells

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Supports trimming! Good speed.

I recently got a 500GB SSD and was looking for an enclosure for it for a long time so I tried Sabrent-UASP. A few things I was looking for: - UASP support: not sure if there's a way to say so, but - Good speed: with HDTach, around 200MB/s average, random access: 0.1ms , Packet: 282 MB/s With. sec- Trim Support: Trimcheck performed and this is the FIRST USB 3.0 enclosure deemed trim capable. The last one (Trim) was great as I had my doubts about using an SSD in an enclosure due to the lack of Trim support, but I found one that works! Another plus (for me) is that the cable has two "regular" USB connectors instead of a dual micro USB, which I find too fragile. Plus, it actually has a working power button! A few cons: - The case is plastic (but they have sponges for the front and top to keep the SSD firmly seated inside). - It's quite difficult to open as the case is very smooth with no support and you have to somehow press on the back top edge to slide it. But then again, that (difficult to open) can be a good thing!

Pros
  • Good
