First of all it's like a black anodized aluminum case, just big enough to fit the 2.5" drive. There is like a small rubber pad on the inside that seems to isolate it and hold it in place, nothing else holds it in place on the inside. The electronics plugs right into the sata interface on the drive, and is the other end of the case cover as well. It ships with 2 small screws and a small phillips driver which didn't work well, i used a slightly larger one i had at home and was able to screw it in tighter. Comes with a short usb 3.0 cable, the standard size on both size (rectanguler), plugged it into my laptop and at first nothing. But i forgot, it was from a ps4 so i had to go into the computer management and repartition the drive, and format it, then it worked fine as an external. It comes with with a vinyl like case to carry the drive around. So overall, it's sort of made cheap, but for the price, it's a great little case in my opinion. I noticed the the usb port was a little wonky as i almost plugged it in backwards (thought i broke the connector) but it's still working (tiny blue led shows disk access). Going to buy a few more of these for my extra drives i have sitting around, and the drive is powered by the usb cable as well, so couldn't be easier then that to add some storage to stuff like your tv, blu ray player, to store all the smart tv apps and things, or to your network router as a network drive. So far working well, and formatted as my F: drive. Update: Ok, assembled 4 of these so far. I did read that one person had problems with the circuit board touching the aluminum case. When you attach the drive, and insert it into the case, try both ways, flip it around, i always found that it fit better one way rather then other for whatever reason, but they all assembled fine. None of mine touched the case, BUT, if the 2 screws get loose, i can see the small soldered ends possibly can touch. So what i did, was the cases come packed with like this black foam, i cut just a super thin layer of it, to cover the ends and just shoved it on top, i'll see if i can take a pic and post it, but it's just the foam, i just pushed it on there, super thin layer lol. So far though, i have one on my ps4 pro, i have one on my network router, i'm using one as a small backup for my laptop, these are great so far. using 3 2.5" drives, 2 standard, 1 ssd, 1 hybrid, they all work fine. Review: 2 Month Updated Review - ***Been using this for nearly 2 months now and not much has changed. Works ALMOST without issue. The only problem I've encountered thus far is occasionally the unit isnt recognized by my xbox one. I've worked out through process of elimination this only happens when my xbox loses power and the fix is simple enough and only requires unplugging and plugging it back into the console. Havent had any data loss or read issues with the enclosure, and as far as Im concerned its worth the money and a great deal at that. I would recommend this for sure to anyone in need of such a device. I can also confirm that this does work with my gaming console which was a concern when purchasing this because Id read some reviews saying they couldnt get it to work with their xbox or playstations. So far so good. Installed a 1tb hdd in this 2 days ago and have been installing games through my xbox one the entire two days. Dont think its the enclosures fault that its taking so long because installing to the internal hdd is just as slow. Seems to be working fine and haven't had any issues over the past two days with transfers stopping or encountering errors or anything along those lines. I will update this review if anything changes but for right now this seems like a solid product. While reading some reviews folks mentioned that the circuit board was touching the metal on the case and causing shorts and data loss, but the version I got seems to have addressed the problem by covering the back of the circuit board thats exposed, thus solving any potential issues that may have caused the issue in the past for other customers. ## Features - Supports Standard Notebook 2.5β€³ SATA Hard Drives. - Ultra Light Aluminum Case provides heat dissipation. - LED light indicates Power and Activity status. - Hot-swappable, plug and play, no drivers needed. - Reverse compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LS31KQG | | Best Sellers Rank | #85 in Enclosures | | Brand | SABRENT | | Built-In Media | Enclosure | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | usb | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,052 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 Megabytes Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00819921011411 | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | Mac | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4.9"L x 3"W x 0.5"H | | Item Weight | 2.4 Ounces | | Manufacturer | SABRENT | | Material | Aluminum | | Memory Storage Capacity | 16 TB | | Mfr Part Number | EC-UK30 | | Model Number | EC-UK30 | | Product Dimensions | 4.9"L x 3"W x 0.5"H | | Supported Devices Quantity | 10 | | UPC | 780746879930 801947367030 809396065378 819921011411 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SABRENT - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Hardware Platform:** Mac - **Product Dimensions:** 4.9"L x 3"W x 0.5"H ## Images ![SABRENT [Upgraded Version Support UASP] Ultra Slim USB 3.0 to 2.5-Inch SATA E... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CAN-OoWdL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great small cases for spare 2.5" drives *by M***O on February 12, 2017* Ok, for the price, it's a really good case.

This aluminum case model is slightly better built and I had no problems with the enclosure screws. It works fine and I recommend it as an inexpensive option for an external USB 3.0 enclosure. ## Frequently Bought Together - SABRENT [Upgraded Version Support UASP] Ultra Slim USB 3.0 to 2.5-Inch SATA External Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure [Black] (EC-UK30) - SABRENT 2.5 Inch SATA to USB 3.0 Tool Free External Hard Drive Enclosure [Optimized for SSD, Support UASP SATA III] Black (EC-UASP) - Sabrent USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs (EC-SNVE) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/3002780-sabrent-upgraded-version-support-uasp-ultra-slim-usb-3-0](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/3002780-sabrent-upgraded-version-support-uasp-ultra-slim-usb-3-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
