BENFEI 2.5 Inch SATA to USB Tool Free External Hard Drive Enclosure, USB Type-C/Type-A to Sata Compatible for 2.5 Inch SSD(Optimized for SSD, Support UASP)

Fir just fine for my full size 14tb mechanical drive. Thought heat would be a problem, but runs cooler than I thought (we'll see in the long run). Glad for the USBC IO and powe, the included cables (albeit short..), and decent "GaN" charger that was provided (might actually be authentic too...runs cool and is very compact and light, but I never actually looked more into it.Totally works and speed is completely acceptable. As others noted its a press and fit setup...screws aren't a thing here. They give foam to put on top or bottom or wherever to keep the drive in place...which more or less for 80% + use cases I think is still totally fine for most people. In my case, the drive won't be really portable. Just sitting on a desk with occasional moving to other PCs for backups.. but even if I was extremely mobile with the drive, it just happens to be that the 14TB Western Digital Red 3.5 inch drive fit exactly the way the bay came by default, I actually had to pop the front panel off to connect the drive and then work it onto the body because the fit was so exact. Nothing rattles, am totally satisfied.

Love this product in wiping old drives prior to recycling! Also functions really well to remove old files when replacing the old HDD with a new SSD! USB works well with macOS or Windows. No noise! Quality plastic. Ease of use for sure.

This enclosure fits my internal drive. There is a connector inside that mates with the drive’s connector, and there is a short pigtail that plugs into the USB port on my computer to connect the drive. The lid of the enclosure fits well and snaps on tightly, but is easy to open if you need to access the drive within it. It does what it’s supposed to do at a minimal price. Nothing to complain about!

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!

Bought two of these enclosures, used with two 2.5" 7200rpm 6gbps HGST/Hitachi HDDs. They are fast and work flawlessly. Plastic feels of good quality. Comes with two sizes of shock absorbing foam pads with an adhesive back whch is a plus. The only brand that's ever included those, in my experience. Will buy again!

The BENFEI 2.5 Inch SATA to USB External Hard Drive Enclosure is my top choice for using hard drives on the go. It has a snug cushioning inside that makes inserting the drive a little tight, but that same feature gives extra protection against bumps and drops. The option to connect with either USB Type-C or Type-A makes it versatile, and the transfer speeds are exactly as advertised. I have already moved over 2 TB of data through it and it has worked flawlessly every time. The enclosure is compact, sleek, and has a nice patterned shell that looks better than most plain cases. For anyone needing a dependable and affordable enclosure for their hard drives, this one delivers perfectly.

Got this to add an external SSD to an HP All-In-One that only has one HDD drive bay - which has been upgraded to a SSD. I'm mainly using it for Quickbooks Desktop backups. I tried using a thumb drive but QB would literally take 10 minutes or more to "finalize" the backup and fininsh, allowing use of the QB software again. Everything worked fine but I have no idea why the delay. It would get to about 90% and just lag. So I plugged in an extra SSD from an old laptop into a HDD utility box that uses a power chord and cables to connect an uninstalled HDD or SSD to a USB port. It worked fine with QB backup so I bought this case to make the connection less messy and more permanent. The case is very basic with a sliding cover and internal SATA connection. It's a tight fit for the SSD but that keeps it from moving around. It comes with 2 felt pads that you can install on the cover to hold the SSD more firmly in place but I decided not to use them. One pad is 1.5mm thick and the other is 3mm. The chord has both a USB-A and USB-C convertible end - the USB-C plugs in to the USB-A, or you can use the USB-C by itself. I'm using the USB-A connection. After installation and plugging it into a USB port the unit powers on and is immediately available for use. The instructions say to initialize and partition the SSD before use if brand new, but mine was already set to go. I need a magnifying glass to read the instructions, but they are clear and easily followed. It says after 10 minutes the device goes into "smart sleep mode" and powers down the SSD to save energy and preserve the life of the SSD. I'm not sure if this actually happens on my system because the power light stays lit on the box continually. Overall this is a sturdy case that firmly holds the SSD in place and functions well when plugged in to the USB port. Recommended.

Perfect look. Quality and design. It fits sata and state solid drives. Tested the speed with both it works vert fast. The plastic might be little bit challenging to open the first time but once you have the drive inside its perfect . No noise at all , connectivity is fast!

I set this enclosure up today and I’m really impressed. It’s simple, affordable, and works exactly the way a tech like me expects. The design is solid and it even comes with foam pads — one for SSDs and one for HDDs — so your drive fits snug and secure. I’m using it with a SanDisk SSD and the foam pad keeps it perfectly in place with no wiggle. The built-in USB cable is a great touch because I can’t misplace it, and it connects at full speed with no issues. I tested it with games and it loads them fast, just like running on an internal drive. This isn’t some flashy, overpriced gadget — it’s reliable, practical, and does the job right. If you want a no-nonsense enclosure for 2.5” SSDs or HDDs, this is a 5-star product all the way.

Fit perfect to my DSTV explorer hard drive.

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

Ottimo prodotto, alloggiamenti e chiusure precise per una connessione perfetta. Ottimo il sistema "basculante" per avere sempre un riduttore da USB-A ad USB-C. Funziona anche con Android (se il disco è formattato in Ex-Fat), io l'ho preso proprio per questo, ero dubbioso ma funziona pefettamente, la mia compagna aveva necessità di scaricare un po di memoria e questo case permette di collegarci un hard disk di grosse dimensioni (io ho provato con un HD SSD da 250 GB). Ottima la velocità di trasferimento. Difetti: Cavo un po troppo corto e un po di difficoltà nell'aprire il coperchio per l'inserimento o cambio del disco ma è anche vero che non è un'operazione che si fa continuamente. In ogni caso un buon prodotto con un rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo

My Crucial BX500 fitted in easily and connections with my 2 pc's were good.
