StarTech.com 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure With External Hard Drive Case

Despite being made predominantly out of plastic, this enclosure still manages to feel very solid without adding a lot of weight. The few drives I tried with the enclosure fit snug and secure with the included foam tape. The added bonus of being tool-less is terrific and makes drive swaps quick and painless. This is definitely another great addition to my tech go bag. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

I put a spare SSD in this enclosure for some fast portable storage and it works great. No drivers, plug and play. The SSD fit slightly loose but in the box was provided a "cushion" and once install the SSD was snug and didn't move. The enclosure has some rubber feet to avoid it sliding around on the desk and it also included an activity light. My only gripe would be that the glossy plastic has gotten marked up by just being in my laptop bag. It doesn't take away from the function though, just cosmetic.

Simple to install drive, lightweight, and fast. All plastic, so doesn't dissipate heat as well as the metal enclosures. The cover stays put too (unless you drop it, on a hard surface, on the right corner--which I did--and the drive popped loose (SSD). Put it all back together and it just kept working. Being tool-free is great as I can carry this instead of an external drive dock, and swap drives in and out when doing remote site work. So my "go bag" just got lighter. :) I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

I found the design of this enclosure to be very good. The cable fit snugly into the enclosure and I had no issues with any cable movement. The unit does not require any tools to set up and I found that with my 2.5" Ssd it was a very very light setup which I love. For portability this enclosure was great due to the lightweight nature of the case I would recommend this product I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

I was trying to think of a catchy name for this review, but good is what I kept coming up with. I think a tool-less design is long overdue, and this one is well done, a quick slide of the top and you're done. Fit quality inside the enclosure is good; there is an included piece of foam tape to keep the drive from moving, a 9mm HDD fits snugly but a 7mm SSD would rattle without it. Build quality is also good, it's plastic so it's light and portable, flex is minimal and the rubber feet keep it from moving on most surfaces. The included USB-C cable is 50cm long, again, a good length; a single coil and it fits in the same space as the enclosure does for easy transportation. Where I think this would transition to a ‘great' product would be if you were buying/deploying a number of these for an office or project. The price point and speed of assembly would definitely tilt the scale! I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review

After I used this enclosure for a day or two, it is keeping disconnecting itself if i move the enclosure or my MacBook even slightly. I try to change the usb-c cable, but it keeps disconnecting it self. The only way to use this enclosure is to not move it or your computer.

I ordered this through Best Buy. There was no "drive cushion" packed in the box. My Seagate hard drive was barely too wide to fit into the case. Very disappointed because I need to recover several files.
