Good product for the price

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I purchased this product to use in transferring the data from my old laptop hard drive to a new SSD. It’s a very good (and very economical) product for this purpose. I had previously used an older IDE version of this enclosure and this product is basically the same thing, but with a SATA interface. There is also a USB 3.0 version of this product available, and I would recommend that version over this one if you have a USB 3.0 port available on your computer. The data transfer speeds are much higher (5 Gbps vs. 480 Mbps on the USB 2.0 version).

What do you get for $6.99? The product includes a very basic aluminum enclosure with a small circuit board and USB 2.0 port, a USB-to-USB cable to connect the enclosure to your computer, and a thin vinyl case that offers some protection against scratches. Sabrent also throws in a small screwdriver for use with the two tiny screws that secure the circuit board into the main body of the enclosure. As many other reviewers have noted, these screws can be frustrating due to their small size. The included screwdriver usually works, but I found it easier to install the screws using a jeweler’s screwdriver. Just be very careful when you install the screws, as it’s easy to strip them if you over-tighten them.

If you’re just looking to upgrade your 2.5” hard drive and need a way to transfer the data from the old drive onto the new one, this product is ideal. For the price, you can’t go wrong. However, if you’re looking to install a hard drive into the enclosure for use as an external drive, be aware that the aluminum enclosure has no cushioning material on the inside, and provides almost no protection from drops and other shocks. If you have the luxury of putting an SSD into the enclosure, this probably won’t be a problem. For a regular hard drive, however, your chances of crashing your drive the first time you drop it are very high. The vinyl case that comes with the enclosure is very thin. While it should keep your enclosure from getting scratched up, it doesn't have any cushioning to protect the contents from a significant shock.

It’s also worth noting that the enclosure has a very tight fit when you insert your drive into it. This is by design, as the aluminum body of the enclosure is intended to work as a heat sink for your drive. The included USB cable has a pigtail on one end with two USB plugs. If you have an extra USB port available when using the enclosure, you can plug in the second plug to power your drive. I didn't see any noticeable difference in performance when using the extra plug, but for some hard drive models it might make a difference.

Overall, this is a surprisingly solid product. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles, but it gets the job done, as long as you’re aware of its limitations.

for those who want to keep using their old laptop hard drive

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

My laptop died a few months ago and I removed the hard drive, memory and the optical drive before recycling the rest. To be able to use the hard drive I started looking for an adapter and I found this item.

My hard disk dimensions were approximately 2.7 X 0.4 X 0.15 inches and this is an exact fit for that. I am sure hard disk sizes are pretty standard and I might have some measurement errors but if yours have significantly different dimensions then this is not for you. However if you are planing to use an old laptop hard drive like I do, then you may find it does not fit at first. If this happens (it happened to me) do not force it, all you need to do is to look for screws on sides of your hard drive. You will see 4 screws and when you unscrew them a metal cover will come out and when you remove it then it will fit perfectly fine. The rest is child play. You connect the usb section to the related part of your hard drive and screw that section into the case.

It operates perfectly as an external hard drive and the case material is hard plastic. In addition it comes with a soft case and a tiny screw driver which I did not need but liked very much. There is a blue light that shows that the hard disk is working and two usb plugs at the computer side (it works with only one but having two will keep it higher performance)

There is only one design flaw I noticed which is the empty area between the back of the hard drive and the back of the case. I think there is around half inch space and if you keep the hard drive with usb side up, due to the gravity the hard drive will pull the connection. It may be a small force but in time it may loosen or even disconnect the hard drive (not a big deal but anyway...)

I do not recommend putting this device other than flat and I do not recommend using it as a usb stick that you carry everywhere due to its delicate nature, but it is something common for most hard drives.

As a sum, I think this item is great, very functional and very cheap. (the USB 2.0 version is less than $7 and to me it is more than enough) and I recommend it to anyone who needs to keep using their old hard drive without investing a huge money for that...

Functionally, this product is just fine. It was easy to connect the board to the hard drive and the assembly is straightforward. I got the USB 2.0 version of the drive since I'm primarily using this for a computer with ports only, and it seems just as fast as my other hard drive enclosures of other brands. Data transfers seem stable. I'm satisfied with the way the aluminium body cools the drive as well. It's not as good as my Rosewill enclosure in that regard, but I don't feel worried that it's going to get too hot.

The things that leave me dissatisfied with this enclosure are a couple of design elements. First of all, on one side the parts don't seem to fit together flush so I feel a bit of a sharp aluminium edge when I run my finger across. I'm a little nervous picking it up sometimes because that one side feels a little unpleasant to touch. The second issue, which is what bothers me most, is that I don't feel that there's adequate padding on the inside so the drive kind of rattles around a bit. I would like the drive to be a tighter fit inside, and I will probably add a small bit of padding myself so that it's a bit more stable. It's possible that as it is, the connector could come a little loose.

If these small things could be addressed, I think this would more or less be a perfect drive enclosure for the price. It's the cheapest item I could find with an aluminium body, and it does everything I want it to do.

Purchased the USB 2.0 version. Fit is good. Works well. Well packaged. Good quality.
Some great surprises that came with the package: A screw driver / A help line is available / A soft pouch
No power cable needed. Plug and play via the USB connection.
Used it to read my Win10 files on an Android chromebook. No issues reading and editing the files. Just be aware it saves as a google file format.

Sleek, does the job it's designed to.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

At the end of the day, you either like how this looks or not. You already know it's only USB 2 and uses TWO USB plugs to do its job, and either the price is right for you or it's not.

This looks exactly as it does in the photos, and it does exactly the job it's supposed to. It's super easy to use, you don't even need the casing if you are just quickly slapping a drive on it to copy some data across rather than making an external drive from it, and thanks to the design, works just fine with 3.5 inch SATA drives too. If you DO want to make an external drive, it fits together very quickly, easily and nicely (2.5 inch only obviously).

I really can't think of anything else you might need from it. If you're going to slap an SSD inside it, I would look for a USB 3 enclosure.
