UGREEN USB C Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA SSD HDD - Aluminum USB C to SATA Adapter USB 3.1 Gen 2 Support UASP - Compatible with MacBook Pro Air, WD, Seagate, Toshiba, Samsung, Hitachi

I've purchased two of these enclosures now and they both work great. Extremely easy to install a 2.5" SSD by just sliding it into the slot. Speed is good (and dependent on the SSD itself), and really it just works. It's a great way to repurpose an old drive, and cost effective given today's hard drive prices. Highly recommended!

Starting off, this is the best built/performing External USB-C 2.5" Enclosure I've ever used. I wasn't paid to write this review, I have just bought a second of these, and the material design, minimalist approach and quality of it's performance are what encouraged me to write this. First off, it comes packaged simply. It is easy to get into, easy to install a drive and overall, the easiest way to turn an internal 2.5" disk into an external performance drive. My specific needs for these were for external application, so choosing an external drive was worth it to me. Opening the cover, popping one drive out and putting a new drive in, takes seconds of time. No tools, no finicky buttons, just a gentle press on the triangle on the bottom, and it slides right off. It handles heat VERY well. On a 1 TB Enterprise Grade SSD connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port, transferring 910 GB (consistent push to the drive) it took less than an hour (wasn't paying attention) and wasn't "hot" to the touch over the course of the transfer. Yes, it was warm, but wasn't so hot that you couldn't touch it. That, and the speeds at which it transferred were NOT reduced over time, as some drives have done to me in the past. Overall, five stars for the product in all the areas that matter.

Very nice. Works great and looks sleek.

I am using this enclosure for a Samsung 850 EVO SSD 2.5" drive connected to a MacBook Pro. I am getting near maximum practical SATA SSD transfer rates of 536 MB/s write and 509 MB/s read revealing that this enclosure is set up for proper UASP operation and uses a competent SATA-to-USB bridge chipset. I previously used an external SATA adapter that only achieved rates of 400 MB/s write and 370 MB/s read for the same drive. The UGREEN enclosure provides a significant improvement in performance. It's also sturdy and well constructed. The aluminum casing provides good heat dissipation. I am very happy with this enclosure.

Looks and feels amazing, the case is well made and has a rubber bottom so it doesn’t slide. I haven’t tested the speed and functionality as of yet because i don’t have the sata to put into but overall so far looks amazing.

I've got two of these. They're reasonably fast. The important part for me is that the chipset supports SMART pass-through. These work to do "smartctl -d sat ..." drive health checks on linux. Useful for triaging old SSDs for potential reuse.

I recommend it; it's easy to use and of good quality.

Used for SSD's retrieved from dead or obsolete computers. Worked as advertised. Able to access old files, and could actually run a new computer off the old SSD by using the F12 boot sequence. Well worth the money.

These are great little drive enclosures. It's super easy to install the HDD and get up and running. Ignore the noice about "not really all aluminium so it won't dissipate the heat." It's true, the aluminium is on top of ABS plastic but the units are so small, heat dissipation shouldn't be an issue. Be aware, but I doubt it matters. The units look nice, they hold the HDD snugly, and they have some heft to them. The aluminium colour is well-matched to my Space Grey MacBook Pro. The ONLY thing I wish: shorter (0.5m/1ft) braided cables. That would make this perfect.

Fiyatı emsallerine göre oldukça yüksek fakat hızlı bir SSD ile kullanacaksanız bence değer. Ben bir adet almıştım. Ürün elime hemen ulaştı ve görünce zam gelmeden ikincisine de almaya karar verdim. Ben SSD ve Mac Mini M2 ile 530 MB/saniye hızlarını aldım. Bu demek oluyor ki içinden çıkan kablo gerçekten 10 Gb/s hıza sahip. SSD'nin cihaza bağlandığı SATA 3 arayüzü ise 6 Gb/s hızla sınırlı olduğu için zaten 500-550 MB/s'i aşmamız fiziken mümkün değil. Fakat kullanılan Type-C kablosu 5 GB/s olsaydı muhtemelen transfer hızları 400-450 MB/s ile sınırlı kalırdı. 10Gb/s kablo kullanılmış olması 6 Gb/s 'lik SATA 3 limitine ulaşmanızı yani reelde 500 MB/s hızları aşmanızı sağlıyor. Malzeme kalitesi ise çok iyi. Gri kısmın gerçekte aluminyum olmadığını yazanlar olmuş.. Ama kesinlikle alüminyum. Üzerindeki dokulu kaplaması kafa karıştırabilir ama dokunduğunuzda soğukluğunu hissediyorsunuz zaten. Tıpkı alüminyum gibi elinizin ısısını emiyor. Fakat bu alüminyum SSD veya HDD ile direk temas halinde olmadığı için ısı dağıtımında ne kadar etki eder bilmem. İç kısım tamamen plastik ve bu aluminyum o plastiğin üzerinde kılıf gibi giydirilmiş halde. Daha çok dekoratif düşünülmüş. İçinden çıkan 50 cm kablo uzunluğu da yeterli. Ne çok kısa ne de çok uzun.

Haven't one any speed tests.

perfect quality and useful... just bitter expensive.

Case molto bello e ben rifinito, con Base in gomma dotata di piedini antiscivolo e parte superiore in alluminio molto molto ben rifinita e bella da vedere, inoltre dissipa l'eventuale calore del HDD. Interfaccia USB tipo C. La confezione comprende anche un cavetto lungo 50 cm con entrambi attacchi USB tipo C maschio. Questo cavetto non è particolarmente bello a confronto del case, ma fa la sua funzione. Ho inserito un SSD e ci sta perfettamente senza traballare trattenuto dai cuscinetti antiurto e funziona perfettamente. Il cassettino una volta chiuso è perfetto.
