Review on ๐Ÿ’ฟ Inateck 3.5 Inch HDD Enclosure: High-Speed USB 3.0 Mesh Case with UASP Support - SA01003 by Jay Elmo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Functional, easy to install and beautiful.

I wanted to reuse a 3TB SATA hard drive that I removed from an old NAS. USB 3.0 required for my late 2014 Mac Mini. I chose this USB 3.0 enclosure thinking the mesh design would keep the drive cooler than most. Easy installation. You unlock the switch on the back, rotate the front door, and insert the SATA drive into the enclosure, making sure the SATA connectors are on the bottom (with the drive label facing up). Installing a 3.5" hard drive, like I did, just aligns things. Press down on the drive to ensure the connectors are secure, close the front door until it clicks, and then press the latch switch. Ready. NO SCREWS Everything is explained in the helpful leaflet which added 45 seconds to the setup time from 15 seconds Can't really think of anything easier to do Immediately started copying 1TB of data onto the hard drive.
