Review on πŸ’§ ineo 2.5 inch USB 3.0 Type A Rugged Waterproof & Shockproof IP66 External Hard Drive Enclosure - T2566-II: Reliable Protection for 2.5 inch SATA HDD SSDs by Luis Norman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Rugged with integrated cable

Installation was easy (unscrew 6 screws) and just make sure the SSD is firmly/fully seated in the slot. The rubber bumpers around the edge and the rubber inside should be enough to protect the SSD from a significant drop. The lid is pressed into a slot in the rubber case to create a [hopefully] watertight seal. Although the edge feels very hard, perhaps to withstand being run over by a car (didn't try), I deducted 1 star for fear that you could easily pinch the center of the case with your hands and hear air leak. /beep. There is about a quarter inch of clearance between the case and the boards with attached SSD. So as long as you don't push it underwater it should remain waterproof, possibly waterproof, although with an air pocket inside it might just float (didn't try). The built-in 14-inch cable is long enough to reach a laptop but can dangle from a tower desktop. It's not small, and definitely not as small as NVMe SSD enclosures, but with the size of a large phone in an Otterbox enclosure, you get a very well-protected portable hard drive without worrying about forgetting or plugging the cable to lose.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Very expensive
