I have used several of these with SSD Drives for external backups and have been very pleased. Solid construction, good performance and price.

Product is good and works as intended. The issue I had is my fault for not researching better. I purchased a Crucial SSD to replace laptop spinning hard drive. The free Acronis cloning software from Crucial requires a Crucial drive to be seen in the system. The software saw Sabrent attached drive and not the Crucial drive in it I wanted to clone to. After using a different free cloning software I was successful. This is no fault of the product and I am quite happy with the external drive. The on/off switch is handy and the drive comes with a 30ish inch (aprox 76cm) Type A connector USB cable. The case is plastic and the cover slides off. No tools are required. The case has an internal rubber sponge pad to keep the drive pushed forward into the contacts. I wasn’t comfortable with the force required and the angle of insertion. If you use something to push back and hold the pad during installation, the drive drops right in and slides easily into the connector. Considering the cost of the product I think this is non-issue, just something to be aware of. The pad holds the drive firmly in place.

Have not had it very long, but installation of the SSD took about 20 seconds. Zero tools. Done. By far easiest enclosure I’ve used.

Just snap a 2.5 SATA drive into the slots, then press it past the rubber support and you are ready to connect a new drive to your USB slot!

I had an old laptop that no longer functioned/started up, but a hard drive that had various personal files I needed to recover. The Sabrent External Hard Drive Enclosure worked easily, was a simple plug & play, and allowed me to insert my laptop hard drive into the enclosure and connect to a separate computer. All my files were accessible and easily recoverable. With it’s great price, you can’t go wrong.

This worked flawlessly with my Samsun 870 EVO 2TB SATA III drive. I really like the free software available to perform data transfers. The on/offf switch is also great.

It would be nice if the length of the cable was designated since the over 2 foot cable that came with the enclosure was more than sufficient and thus I would not have had to purchase the extra 3 foot one, which I don’t really need !!!

I like having enclosures for SSDs and M.2 drives, and this Sabrent works well. I have several of them.
