RSHTECH Hard Drive Enclosure Upgraded Version 3.5" Aluminum USB C to SATA External Hard Drive Dock Case for 3.5 inch HDD & SSD up to 24TB, with 2-in-1 USB Cable, Support UASP

We're downsizing and I'm working on eliminating a ten year old box running Windows Server 2012. I've moved a couple of things over to my adjoining workstation and want to move all data over to an external drive. For $25 this looked like a good investment to replace the current 3.0 enclosure, since the RSHTECH supports the faster UASP. It goes together easily and is noticeably faster than my old enclosure. I'm using a 4 TB WD Purple. One caution is to use a good quality cable. I initially used the cable that came with the device, but wanted to move it into a rack mount enclosure nearby. The cable was a bit short, so I popped on an extension. That was a mistake. Windows Explorer quickly went into a loop and froze up my desktop. I disconnected the USB, moved the device back, and all was well again. Have an 8 foot USB on order that's rated for USB 3.1 Gen 2. Hopefully that will allow me to relocate the RSHTECH. All and all, I'm pleased with the purchase.

Sleek, solid, works great. I am using this to recover data from an old computer running Windows XP that died many years ago. I was worried about compatibility with my current computers running Windows 7 and 10, but it works great with no issues. It comes with a small screwdriver with 5 screws (incl 1 spare) to secure the drive to the enclosure from the bottom of the case. I think this is much better than the ones that come with pieces of foam to stick between your drive and the case to hold it in place. You plug the drive in, screw it in, then slide the cover on. Super simple and secure. It also came with a very clear instruction leaflet (in English, I'm in the US) that includes all the product specs and how to install, format, and remove the drive from both Windows and Mac systems, along with troubleshooting info (see pictures of packaging and contents). Very happy with the product and the extra effort to make it a good one.

My only use for spinning rust drives these days is bulk cold data storage using server-grade (Enterprise) drives. These are very reliable but get HOT. So when choosing an enclosure, heat dissipation is a major shopping criterion. All-metal with fan is the best; a plastic or metal/plastic enclosure with fan is second, metal with thermal coupling between the drive and the shell is next, metal/plastic with no thermal coupling is the worse. This RSHTECH falls somewhere in the last few categories. The shell is solid aluminum but deceivingly the drive is mounted in a grey plastic internal frame which, does not allow direct heat transfer between the drive or the aluminum shell. It LOOKS like metal in the photos owing to the color, but it actually is rather soft ABS plastic. Per my summary above, you can enclosures having more metal/coupling here for about US$10 less (e.g. the gunmetal-colored rounded-edge GODO enclosure). When assembling, I also add a layer of metal (such as aluminum foil) in between the top cover of the drive and the inside surface of the metal shell, it also reduces the chance of rattle. In the case of this enclosure, that works fine with Seagate EXOS-series data center drives. This enclosure comes with a single exterior mounting screw that does mate with the drive frame, and a nice-looking USB C-to-C, C-to-A (adaptor) cable. So far in limited testing HOT Enterprise drive temps get into the mid 40'sC which is well within the acceptable range, USB3x transfer rates are about what you would expect from the drive specs themselves.

Very good external hard drive enclosure, easy to use, fair price, good value. I had a nice internal hard drive that I was never able to use with any of my desktop computers, and needed a good hard drive enclosure to be able to use this device externally. I found this item on Amazon, and it fit perfectly, and works great. Reasonably priced, good value. The only complication was that the drive needed to be partitioned, but the device came with an instruction pamphlet that anticipated that situation, and gave clear steps as to how to resolve it. Good unit, glad I purchased it.

I have a bunch of hard drives from older computers with information on them. This allows me to swap them out and store until they are need or be able wipe them and recycle them. Also makes for a nice backup system. Nice size activity LED is nice and if I could get some extra spacers that would be great. Fast shiping, well packaged. Comes with the power supply and a very nice USB cable, not a cheap one.

I'm very impressed. In addition to being a sturdy enclosure that is attractive, I get over 200MB/s read and write on OSX Tahoe 2.62 with the included cable run to a 3.0 USB hub, which is then run to a dock , and then a 2019 Mac Book Pro. The disk is a Western Digital Black 7200 rpm 2GB drive, WD2003FZEX-00SRLA0

muy bueno, cumplio su funcion y viene con las herramientas para su uso, el manual/instructivo me sorprendio porque explica muy bien como puedes solucionar problemas comunes a la hora de conectar el Disco Duro a una Windows o una Mac y como formatearlo.

C'est mon 2ème boitier que j'achète. J'ai testé avec un 24tb de Seagate (21tb en vrai après que le système est prit ce qui faut pour le tampon mémoire ) . Je l'ai fais viré pendant des jours. J'ai transféré 10 tb sans coupure. Donc, le commentaire ci-bas qui dit que le boitier coupe pendant un film, je dirais que cela vient de son appareil ou du disque dur.

Well made item. But the plug supplied isn't suitable for an Australian power outlet without a converter

Excelentes condiciones y fácil de instalar, respalda y lee los archivos sin problema, la conexión se da sin problema con la máquina.

Muy bueno me funciono sin problemas, mi pc lo reconoció inmediatamente.
