POSUGEAR 2.5'' External Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3.0 to SATA III Tool Free Clear External Hard Drive Case for 7mm/9.5mm 2.5 inch SSD HDD with UASP, Compatible with WD Toshiba Samsung PS4 Xbox PC TV

This hard drive external case works without a hitch. You open the cover, position the slot, and plug it into a USB port. That's it. It was immediately recognized by the PC in detail. The brand, the capacity, and the speed were all displayed. I did not have to initialize it since it already had data on it from previous PC use. Later, when I wanted to use it for backup, it formatted to my choice of NTFS. Not a glitch. I think it goes into sleep mode when not being used, but I am not sure. I have been using my PC for hours, sometimes as much as eight, and there have been no signs of overheating or any malfunction.The only problem I had was with the cover. It seemed that once I got it on, it wanted to stay shut forever. It was difficult to put the cover on or off. Great to prevent children from accessing it, but it was a hassle.I like it a lot for its simplicity and clear plastic see-through. The plastic is not the strongest, but with the HDD in it, it was more than strong enough. For its functionality, ease of use, and low price, it is a winner.

Worked as expected for xbox hard drive enclosure replacement, easy to swap over just pop in your drive and you’re ready to go.

It's looks good, is easy to use, and meets the rated speed claims. The only thing is if you have a drive slimmer than its supposed to have either the drive will rattle or if you use the foam peices included the top half will rattle. Also they don't tell you what to do with the foam bits in the instructions.

Great purchase. Everything worked great

It looks nice and works well. The case is difficult to reopen but you shouldn't be reopening it anyways. I trust this thing to protect the HDD I put inside. I bought this product knowing it was not USB-C but I I really wish they would manufacture this with a modern option.

This product looks pretty nice, and it was fairly easy to use. Please don't get me wrong, some attention and common sense is still required to remove the cover, insert the HDD and close the cover. It is a very tight fit so I have no intention to remove the HDD once it's in.

POSUGEAR 2.5'' External Hard Drive EnclosureTHis is a decent 2.5" external drive enclosure, will accomodate both HDD and SSD drives.is a 3.0 compliantThe only problem is figuring out how to get the case open.They tell you to press or slide at the mark where it says "OPEN"Only, now where does it say OPEN.It kind of snaps together, be careful when you try to open it so youdont break any holding fingers on the case.The case is decent, will protdect your drive, and I wanted clear to have access to thedrive information and any notes I needed to add in / on the case for filing/storage.I RECOMMENDI do not know the seller nor did I receive any money (darn) or product for my random review250423 1246

Works right out the box, but note that you need to slide the cover downwards to open the enclosure.Although I've had little issue with using it as an external library/storage and for playing games, it's very picky/sensitive when it comes to transferring data. While it has no problem transferring 1-2GB of data at one time, any attempts to move a large amount of data in/out (~50-100GB+) will make it freak out and disconnect itself at some point. So, even when the solid blue light is showing the enclosure is connected, you won't be unable to reconnect to it as it can no longer be found on Disk Mgmt or Device Manager. However, if you physically remove and reconnect the USB cord, it will show up again as if nothing ever happened and will continue to function just fine AS LONG AS you don't attempt large data transfers. While your experience may differ, after repeating these 5 times, I'm reasonable confident thatSo transferring large amounts of data is possible, but you'd have to spoon-feed it to ensure proper digestion, feeding it too much will cause it to regurgitate, then give you the silent treatment. The same concept applies for outbound data transfers will cause to think you're moving out, where it's fear of abandonment whips it up into a state of panic, blocking the door so as to prevent what's left from getting out.Obviously, that's not what's actually happening but it's what it feels like.
