Neat case. Best in HDD Enclosure

USB-C attached to the enclosure is handy for eliminating an area where a cable can detach and interfere with file transfers. The instructions I had were missing a step or two, but that's okay. What I don't like is that the computer's USB-C end was a bit loose. It doesn't "click" to stay firmly in place. I have multiple USB-C cables that are the same. So. When you try to move your laptop with the drive attached and you transfer a file. They will be disabled which can lead to file corruption…

Piece of shit. in Hard Drive Accessories

This thing was a piece of crap. The outer silicone piece that holds the USB cable and the inner silicone piece that holds the SSD/HDD are one piece. After inserting the SSD/HDD into the SATA connector, you need to insert the SSD/HDD into the case, attach and screw the other half of the case. After installing the drive, I was trying to fit it into the case when the SATA connector came loose from the board. I tried several times but one corner of the disc didn't fit. If the SATA port was bent…

  • No Form Required

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…

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

It seems good value for money.

The installation of my old Seagate 2TB mechanical drive went smoothly and without incident. Be sure to check out the add-on card that came with the drive, which highlights that you need to make sure the SATA connector lines up with the connector in the case and under the rubber grommet. The case makes a solid and quite shockproof impression. The cable fits snugly around the perimeter of the case. I got sustained writes at around 75MB per second, which is the limit this old mechanical drive will

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • old

The hard drive case performed well.

I bought this case to add an SSD to backup photos when traveling. I wanted to wait until I had decent mileage before writing a review to get a feel for the ease of use, durability and clarity whether I like it or not. The verdict is done. In fact, he accumulated many frequent flyer miles for trips to Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, France and the Netherlands. Used every night to backup daytime photos. There were no problems, nothing fell…

  • This worries me

Increase over the second generation of this device): ineo 2.5" USB 3.0 Type A Rugged Waterproof Shockproof External Hard Drive for 2.5" 9.5mm or 7mm SATA SSD (USB 3.0 Type A) [T2580] So I actually bought two of these to look at if I could update the case and the drive isn't recognized on two Windows 10 machines and one Windows 7 machine. Imperfect design, bought because I liked the company's previous design which I will continue to use and just received two more rugged waterproof shockproof USB

Pros
  • . Nice to use
Cons
  • Modern

I bought this Portable Drive Enclosure based on its description as rugged and with a dedicated Type-A plug, USB 3.0 connector. + plug. The drive I bought for this case was a Silicon Power 512GB SSD SATA III 2.5 internal (tested 6/21/18). The suitcase was lighter than expected - good! Still a pretty stubborn feeling – Good Thing! Pigtailed USB connection cable with perfect length. I opened the suitcase; Screw extraction is what is expected for tiny screws; Make sure you have jewelry (Phillips)…

Pros
  • Many Fit
Cons
  • Some Difficulty
