I replaced my internal drives with SSDs recently, so it's great to be able reuse my old drives as backups, etc. If/when the five pack is on sale for less than $50, it's an insane value. For a higher price of ~$60 or so, they'd still be great enclosures and good for the price, but I might not go hog wild and buy the five pack unless I really really needed all five. The external power supply is a great feature because USB often doesn't have enough power to safely and consistently run older 3.5" drives. The power supply outputs 12 Volts (12V), 2 Amps (2A). I would never recommend buying an enclosure that supplies anything less than a 2 Amps unless you are certain, based on drive specification, that you can use less amps. The enclosure plastic is high grade, not brittle feeling, and the parts all slide and snap together well. Not a single bit of plastic warping or extra bits of plastic from bad molds, etc. The parts do not feel cheaply made at all. My hard drives slid and snapped into place without any fuss or risk of snapping connections, etc. Two bits of foam with sticky tape can be used to help cushion the drive within the enclosure. This is probably important because there is a tiny bit of wiggle room. With the foam, the drive does not slide around in the enclosure at all. There is no fan in the enclosure, so the drive might get a bit hot. The power cable is nice and long, which can't be said for a lot of other external drives and enclosures. There is a power switch on the enclosure which allows you to choose when it's on and off as opposed to having to plug/unplug it. When I first unpacked the enclosures, I freaked out for a moment because I thought a piece to the power adapter was missing, but upon closure inspection, it was all present (so check the packaging closely). The power adapter comes in two parts, presumably so that these enclosures can be sold in different parts of the world with different adapter leads for different outlets. Windows 10 should recognize it very readily as an "desertcartBasics Enclosure", and it operates like any other removable drive I've used. When I purchased my five pack, I noticed the product images between the 2.5" and 3.5" five packs were swapped. I reported this to desertcart, so it might be fixed by the time you read this. If you purchase a five pack, go by the product description, not by the images. The images attached to my review are for the 3.5" enclosure with external power supply and correspond to what you should hopefully receive if you choose the five pack of 3.5" enclosures by name and product description. Review: Best way to salvage an old desktop - Old Desktops had small, (compared to today's standard 1TB) bulky 3.5" HDD’s that ran on slow SATA I, II, or worse connections. While plugged into their housing, their transfer speed was acceptable, but getting data outside the housing required working through the old computer, usually through a USB 2.0 port or an Ethernet set up. Moving multiple hundreds of GB's in this manner take hours to days, and usually fails. This device saves that time. Not only because it’s transfer speed likely matches or outpaces older HDD’s, because why bother transferring it at that point? The speed is sufficient to stream HD video directly from the drive without moving it to you newer device, and it’s already organized the same way you had it on the old one. For the price of this device you don’t have to wait for the transfer at all, thanks to the speed, it allows you to use it indefinitely as an external HDD without the old drawbacks of data rate. Pro: -Relatively cheap. -Included spacers for cushioning/ accounting for manufacture variations - USB 3.0 Speed matches or exceeds older drives, and would be acceptable on any newer mass storage device short of a network server. - A usable amount of chord to place this permanently if wanted, but no excessive that makes it a pain to move. -The power button! It’s nice to be able to plug this into a network USB port and use it as an actual network drive, but turn it off without need to unplug it. Safe way to disconnect from it. Cons: -Cheaper than desired plastic. The thickness is fine, but the finish is meh. Mat finish without texture wins over textured any day. Hides scratches, too. This doesn't setract from value, but does aethieetically make this look and feel cheap. Personal Gripes: None really. Work very well and I saved my first ever desktop, a 2005 Dell XPS 400, with much more ease. As I was cleaning, the drive out I realized… I didn’t need to. Just keep it. Done. ## Features - 5-Pack of hard drives with 3.5-inch enclosure supports most 3.5-inch SATA I, SATA II, and SATA III HDDs; hard drive not included - AC powered; provides DC12V power connection, on/off button, USB port, and LED indicator light; USB 3.0 allows for transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps; backward compatible with USB 2.0 - Hot swappable; Plug & Play installation (no drivers needed); tool-free design―no tools or screws needed for installing an HDD - Smooth inner surface protects against scratches; self-adhesive sponges ensure an optimal fit; includes AC power adapter, USB 3.0 cable, self-adhesive sponges, and user manual - Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10 and Mac OS X and above; Refer to the PDF attached below in Technical Specification for User Manual ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07TM6JW3Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,532 in Our Brands ( See Top 100 in Our Brands ) | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 5,539 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 Gigabytes Per Second | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hardware Platform | Windows | | Item Weight | 1.03 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Amazon Basics | | Mfr Part Number | HZZ39001V1SZPR01 | | Model Number | HZZ39001V1SZPR01 | | Supported Devices Quantity | 1 | | UPC | 840095803779 | | Unit Count | 5.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Color:** Black - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Hardware Platform:** Windows - **Item Weight:** 1.03 Pounds ## Images ![Amazon Basics 3.5-inches SATA Hard Drive Enclosure - USB 3.0, 5-Pack, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7128weAuW0L.jpg) ![Amazon Basics 3.5-inches SATA Hard Drive Enclosure - USB 3.0, 5-Pack, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vbT60wthL.jpg) ![Amazon Basics 3.5-inches SATA Hard Drive Enclosure - USB 3.0, 5-Pack, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mubRESieL.jpg) ![Amazon Basics 3.5-inches SATA Hard Drive Enclosure - USB 3.0, 5-Pack, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-mGwIsPrL.jpg) ![Amazon Basics 3.5-inches SATA Hard Drive Enclosure - USB 3.0, 5-Pack, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81F0UY7VvVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: i have a HDD (with windows on it) if i put that drive into the case, and hook it up to my new pc. can i access my files without formatting anything?** A: If the drive wasn't encrypted then it should work. If you don't see the drive, try going into disk manager and assigning a drive letter. If the drive was encrypted with Windows Bitlocker, then you'll need the recovery key (looks like a long string of random letters and numbers). See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026181/windows-10-find-my-bitlocker-recovery-key for advice on finding this. If the drive was encrypted with TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt, you'll need the encryption password. If it was encrypted and you don't have the recovery key/password, then you might as well format the drive. After all, this is the exact use case those products were made to thwart! **Q: Could I use this on an xbox one?** A: Yes, I'm using this with a 2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHD with no issues. **Q: Will this work with old style 4-pin poweer connector (vs current mini connector)?** A: This product does not have a 4-pin Molex connector for IDE drives. It has a 15-pin SATA power connection + 7-pin SATA data connection. I think the fourth product photo gives a good view of the connectors. **Q: What usb chipset does this enclosure use (asmedia, jmicron, etc.)?** A: The one I recently purchased has a VL711-04 chipset from VIA Labs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ simple, well made, great value *by S***M on October 27, 2020* I purchased the five pack of 3.5" enclosures.

Done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best used as an open caddy-performance hardrives get warm in here *by S***Y on February 24, 2019* Its performs flawlessly. you turn it on it mounts in Windows 10 and dismounts with a touch of the power switch. There is an integrated brush metal surface and some foam inserts. The cover is frustrating until you learn to grasp it at the very end and gently tug. Off it comes. With repeated cycles it comes off easier over time of use. Still sturdy. Test: 2TB Seagate FireCuda (New SSHD Gaming and then there was...), 2TB WD Black Edition and Red Edition hard drives 2/4TB units 7 years or so old and still rocking. Some Kingston and Samsung SSD's TASK: Sector by sector security wiping duration for each, 6-10 hours per 2TB (HD) 100 percent load activity average., the SSD's not so much, in fact a way shorter time span. Note to self: retire all hard drive and replace with high density SSD storage...done. SSD'S no thermal issues. The hard drives: Thermal issues but not waffle griddle hot. Conclusion: pull the cover off and place a fan on the assembly. No test subjects were permanently harmed during the evaluation.
