SATA to USB Enclosure

This external hard drive enclosure worked perfectly for what I needed. I used it to recover files and old personal photos from a laptop hard drive, and the setup process was incredibly simple. I really liked that it’s tool-free, which made installation fast and convenient. The drive fit securely inside and my computer recognized it immediately without any issues. Transfer speeds were good and the connection felt stable during long file transfers. The enclosure itself feels lightweight but solid, and it has worked reliably every time I’ve used it. 👍 Pros ✔ Easy tool-free installation ✔ Stable connection ✔ Good transfer speeds ✔ Great for recovering old files ✔ Lightweight and practical design ⭐ Final thoughts If you need a simple and reliable way to access or recover files from an old hard drive, this enclosure is an excellent option. Very easy to use and worked exactly as expected.

Perfect for most users. Easy to install drive, awesome dual USB-C and A connectors attached so not going to lose it when most needed. Easy, no tool installation of drive, just slide cover, insert drive slide cover back on, plug in, and ready to move some files. Fast enough for daily back-ups, archiving and external drive (since Apple is offering ridiculously laughable teeny, tiny storage. And charging stupid greedy money for reasonable storage). As mentioned plug and play (just format actual drive) for Mac's or Windows machines. Cons: All plastic, so not great for cooling (and unless you are using the drive constantly, reading and writing almost non-stop, should not be an issue. But be aware. And not sure how it would do in a fall on hard floor, though with sad it is relatively light, but again be aware. Final issue is a Pro and a Con, short attached USB cable. Nice it is dual USB, and attached, so no chance if misplacing it m, and nice to pack and carry. But not so good if cord gets damaged, and is about 6-8" short. So unless you can get close to computer port, you may need an extension (min. $8-9). But if you can deal with a couple possible issues, this is a cheap, very capable enclosure for a vast majority of users.

Pretty good 2.5" Sata USB hard drive enclosure. I've used it with both types of 2.5 drives and it works fine. It's not a super fast transfer device, but fast enough and works well for my needs. Power supply is thru the usb cord. It's designed pretty good, easy to install, doesn't get hot and allows for easy recognition and any size storage capacity.

Great enclosure, but tricky to close The BENFEI 2.5 Inch SATA to USB Tool-Free External Hard Drive Enclosure works really well overall. Setup was a breeze — true to its "tool-free" claim, installation is quick and easy, and it supports both USB Type-C and Type-A, which adds flexibility. Transfer speeds are fast, especially with an SSD thanks to UASP and SATA III support. My only issue is that the enclosure is a bit difficult to close once the drive is inserted. It takes some force and doesn’t always align perfectly on the first try. That aside, it’s a solid, affordable option for anyone needing an external SSD enclosure. Would definitely recommend — just be patient when sealing it shut!

The product arrived well protected, with clean, undamaged packaging. Upon opening it, I was surprised by how compact and lightweight it is, and the black plastic design feels solid and well made. I've been using it for a few days, connecting it to 2.5-inch SSDs and HDDs, and everything works without a hitch. Thanks to UASP SATA III support, transfers reach up to 5 Gbps, which is noticeably faster about 70% faster than traditional USB 3.0. Tool-free installation was very simple: just slide the cover, insert the drive, close it, and you're done. What stands out most is the dual USB-C and USB-A compatibility: I don't have to search for different adapters depending on the device. Its versatility is also excellent: it works with Windows, macOS, Linux, and even consoles like the PS4, and accepts drives up to 6 TB and 9.5 mm thick. Overall, I think it's an excellent purchase. It's ideal for anyone who needs to expand or reuse drives quickly and efficiently—especially for those who frequently move large files. I would especially recommend it to students, professionals, or gamers. I would definitely buy it again.

You know that satisfying feeling when you get a new plug & play device, and when you connect it the driver loads right away and the device works perfectly? Well, that's this enclosure. Drive fits snugly without needing to use the extra pads. And I love that clever USB plug which works with either the PC or the phone ... I tested it and it powered up and was recognized by the phone but I need to recover files from the drive I put in the case before I reformat it to use with the phone. All this for under $10? Amazing!

Wasn’t expecting much from a low priced item, but I had an external ssd that wouldn’t connect anymore. I expected a controller failure so I removed it from the old/original case and put it in this one. Worked right away. Design is good, but, with the padding inside, you have to push it firmly to get the drive in, but it works.

I have a drive case have been using for years and years and years, and it had an external cable that plugged into a port on the drive. I went to pick it up the other day, and the port had seperated from the board inside. I am thinking it is probably my fault from carrying it in my bag while leaving the cable plugged in. So, I couldn't access the files on the drive anymore. I needed a new case. But cases, and cables, and ports, have changed a bit since I got my last one. I have also embraced USB C and I have worked on simplifying my life by trying to normalize on the one standard to minimize the cables I need. I seemed to have three choices. A case like I had with a micro B connector A case with a USB C connector A case with an integrated connector (like this one) I was torn between the last two optiones, and it really came down to BENFEI, because they had two cases, each the exact same price, one with an integrated cable, and one with a seperate cable. I thought about getting the one with the seperate cable because If you need a cable of a different length, you just swap it out If your cable breaks, you just swap it out If you have multiple USB C devices, you don't need multiple cables, so potentially less clutter. In the end, I chose to get the integrated cable anyway because, I know myself, and I know, I tend to leave the cable plugged in anyway. That is actually why I need a new case. They are so cheap anyway. A good cable will cost almost as much as the whole enclosure. If the cable breaks, I can just get a new one. This had an integrated converter, so I can plug it into an old computer that doesn't have USB C, but when in USB A mode, you can't even tell hardly there is a converter. last but not least, I was just at a place where someone had a case just like my old one with the micro usb B case, and they were frantically looking around for their cable, and they couldn't find one. That will never happen with this case, since the cable cannot be removed. The downside is, the cable can't be removed, so makes it a little harder maybe to pack into a bag. The length is still a potential issue, but I do also carry with me a USB C extension cable, so if I need more length, I can just use that. How is the case? Well, It is quite nice actually. The fit was quite snug actually. there were some little foam fillers on the sides and at first I thought maybe I had gotten the wrong case, because it almost didn't seem the drive was going to fit in, but it did, and it is nice and snug, and small and compact, and for all of the reasons listed above, I really quite like it. I quite like the beveled adges all around the case too. I have access to my files again. It works fine. I mean, as affordable as all of these cases seem to be now, I may even pick up a few more for other old drives I have laying around so I don't have to swap them out.

Works well for me. Use it to house my old Sata drives and that’s all I need it for. Basically acts as a giant external hdd. My only gripe and it’s not a show stopper, it’s a tight fit for the drives so you need to pry it out with something sharp.

Particulièrement intéressant car en USB3 Mettre un SSD dans le boitier, le fermer et le connecter et tout fonctionne immédiatement. Seul bémol le câble de liaison est un peu court dans certaine configuration d'ordinateur desktop. Mais avec un portable c'est nickel. Je recommande pour ceux qui en besoin.

Cercavo un modo per recuperare un vecchio hard disk e questo case è perfetto. Il montaggio è immediato (non servono attrezzi) e la velocità di trasferimento dati è ottima. Rapporto qualità-prezzo imbattibile.

Ideale SSD houder met dubbele aansluiting en ook nog eens afgesloten kan worden.
