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 exactly as expected. Good product at a good price.

POSUGEAR 2.5'' External Hard Drive Enclosure THis is a decent 2.5" external drive enclosure, will accomodate both HDD and SSD drives. is a 3.0 compliant The 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 you dont break any holding fingers on the case. The case is decent, will protdect your drive, and I wanted clear to have access to the drive information and any notes I needed to add in / on the case for filing/storage. I RECOMMEND I do not know the seller nor did I receive any money (darn) or product for my random review 250423 1246

This worked like a charm. I had a one terabyte hard drive from an older laptop that I was going to trash. I bought this so that I could use the drive to back up photos and documents. The drive slid right into the case. I plugged it into my laptop, formatted it, and it was ready to use.

I found it super easy to open, and install the drive. I would probably buy another one, when I need it. However… I had a strange “drive recognition” problem. The SSD tech support said, the problem just should not have happened, so I am thinking it is related to this case. If you have this case, and a drive that does not “show up” under “My PC”, but the drive IS listed and working in Device Manager, AND you see this device listed where you eject USB devices, …YOU CAN FIX IT! I have older DELL computers, maybe that contributes…we do not know. DO THIS, get to your Disk Management screen (not Device Manager). Scroll down, find the drive that says it is NOT initialized. Right click and initialize it. Then it may say “unassigned”, so right click, assign it, and give it a Drive Letter. Like a small miracle, your drive is now fine, accessible, and shows up in all of the expected places. For some reason, for some of us users, this is a necessary step to finish setting up the drive. There is a good chance it is this USB box, but it really is an easy fix, when you know what the issue is.

I bought 1 a year ago. After using it for a bit, I bought 3 more as I had many extra hd's laying about. They are simple to use and well made. I'm not carrying them around...they are used for archival purposes. Highly recommended.

Very happy with the Posugear 2.5 hard drive enclosure . It fits our hard drive with a very fit and snug case, and it being clear and see through is very neat because it has a blue flashing light that is pretty cool to see when there is hard drive activity.

Love the transparency. Top cover feels secure, yet with a reasonable amount of force it will slide right off for easy drive switching. Definitely plan to buy more to have around!
