This is the best case design and build I have ever seen

This is the best case design and build I have ever seen. let cool air through. This is a beautiful, functional unit. I especially appreciate the on/off switch so you don't have to unplug the cord. This is NO tool less. Two small screws secure the drive and 4 small screws attach the inside to the outer case. There is a DC power connector, but I didn't need it. When using a 500 GB Samsung 850 evo drive, the USB 3.1 port provided sufficient bus power. Only downside: the cables that come with itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent body. I can only assume that the power supply works.

I like these cases. They are well built and look great. The only 2 things I don't like about it are: 1. The vents you see in the picture are covered by the hard drive when you install it in the case. Although I have 2 such cases with SSD; Even with the vents blocked, the cases will not overheat.2. If you plug in a power source and connect it to the case with the power switch in the on position, the power light will not illuminate UNTIL you connect the USB cable to the computer. So I can't knowโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Not sure

Best 2.5 " Shell I Know

Solid State Drives can draw 12W or more. Attempting to power them from standard USB ports that only provide 4.5W can result in slowdowns, device connection issues, or even data loss. Some specific USB ports and cables can deliver more power, but require the connector, cable, and enclosure to use the same USB Power Delivery protocol or a similar protocol. DC input, in this case like a barrel connector What I like most and least about this case: Plus: + Uses a modern ASM235CM chipset. .)+ DCโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Outstanding Design
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

never worked from the gate. started smelling like burning

I was really hoping for this unit, from the list they took their time , TRIM, and UASP support, including the chipset used in the device. Makes exploring easier without having to sift through support emails. Although I was a little apprehensive about having an all-metal body when using the design, it felt very comfortable in the hands. No rough edges could possibly cut hands or damage items in pockets for a laptop or camera. The additional DC input seems out of place to me, it's USB 3.1 Gen2โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Accepts 2.5" SATA SSD or regular HDD (up to 9.5mm)
Cons
  • sad packaging

Purchased so I can install an SSD and use it as a boot drive for my Mac Mini. Boot time has been halved to around 45 seconds. I've been using it for 8 months and haven't had any problems with it. It's stationary and never leaves my desk. There were times when the Mini couldn't see my router's SSID and I couldn't find the reason. I eventually found that the drop between my computer and the router was blocking the signal and moving it around restored it a bit. The case is on the right side of myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Interface: USB-C (compatible with all USB and Thunderbolt 3). It is not compatible with Thunderbolt 2 or earlier.
Cons
  • I will add later

Best 2.5 " external case I know of

SSDs can draw 12W or more. , device connection problems or even data loss. Some specific USB ports and cables can provide higher power, but this requires that the port, cable, and enclosure use the same USB Power Delivery protocol or some other similar protocol. Much less error - tend to just power the drive from the DC input, as in this case the barrel connector. What a concept. More manufacturers should do this.) + DC power via barrel connector + Physical on/off switch + LED power indicatorโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Asmedia 235CM controller with UASP/TRIM support
Cons
  • It's hard to say that
