Review on πŸ“¦ StarTech.com 2.5-inch IDE Hard Drive Enclosure - Supports UASP - Aluminum - IDE and SATA - USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure - External Drive by Peter Nobles

Fits like a glove! in Computers and accessories

Works as advertised and fits like a glove. I pop in an SSD and get over 200MB/s transfer speeds using just one USB cable (i.e. the second USB cable is usually for power, but only seems to be needed if you plan on installing a mechanical drive ). Inside). Reliable purchase for the price. UPDATE (-1 star): The USB cable connection keeps dropping after long-term use due to an issue with the connector design inside the case. After all, you're paying double for an ultra-compact form factor. It was a solid case while it lasted, but StarTech's new designs are much better and stronger, ie. more voluminous. For example, if you're looking for an enclosure I'd consider one of their newer models instead (which I also have): USB 3.0 External SATA III SSD/HDD Enclosure with model number UASPItem S2510BMU33https://www.amazon. com/StarTech-com-2-5in-External-SATA-Enclosure/dp/B00E1JAB3M/ref=pd_sbs_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2HJX3N0DESZSGXXPP26A
