UGREEN USB C Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA SSD HDD - Aluminum USB C to SATA Adapter USB 3.1 Gen 2 Support UASP - Compatible with MacBook Pro Air, WD, Seagate, Toshiba, Samsung, Hitachi

I've purchased two of these enclosures now and they both work great. Extremely easy to install a 2.5" SSD by just sliding it into the slot. Speed is good (and dependent on the SSD itself), and really it just works. It's a great way to repurpose an old drive, and cost effective given today's hard drive prices. Highly recommended!

Starting off, this is the best built/performing External USB-C 2.5" Enclosure I've ever used. I wasn't paid to write this review, I have just bought a second of these, and the material design, minimalist approach and quality of it's performance are what encouraged me to write this. First off, it comes packaged simply. It is easy to get into, easy to install a drive and overall, the easiest way to turn an internal 2.5" disk into an external performance drive. My specific needs for these were for external application, so choosing an external drive was worth it to me. Opening the cover, popping one drive out and putting a new drive in, takes seconds of time. No tools, no finicky buttons, just a gentle press on the triangle on the bottom, and it slides right off. It handles heat VERY well. On a 1 TB Enterprise Grade SSD connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port, transferring 910 GB (consistent push to the drive) it took less than an hour (wasn't paying attention) and wasn't "hot" to the touch over the course of the transfer. Yes, it was warm, but wasn't so hot that you couldn't touch it. That, and the speeds at which it transferred were NOT reduced over time, as some drives have done to me in the past. Overall, five stars for the product in all the areas that matter.

I am using this enclosure for a Samsung 850 EVO SSD 2.5" drive connected to a MacBook Pro. I am getting near maximum practical SATA SSD transfer rates of 536 MB/s write and 509 MB/s read revealing that this enclosure is set up for proper UASP operation and uses a competent SATA-to-USB bridge chipset. I previously used an external SATA adapter that only achieved rates of 400 MB/s write and 370 MB/s read for the same drive. The UGREEN enclosure provides a significant improvement in performance. It's also sturdy and well constructed. The aluminum casing provides good heat dissipation. I am very happy with this enclosure.

I've started really taking a liking to UGREEN things recently. I got to review some of their docks and a few other cables, hubs, and such. I haven't had any problems with any of them. I needed an enclosure for my 4TB Samsung SATA SSD and saw this one that looked attractive, matching the theme that their other devices follow. I also liked that it inexpensive, although maybe a little pricier than some no-name generics but I believe it to be worth it. Disassembling and reassembling is literally just a slide and a snap. It is completely toolless. The only gripe I could say is that the description says the enclosure is aluminum. And it is... Partially. Only the top half of the shell is aluminum, with the bottom being just exposed black plastic. And even the aluminum outer shell is plastic lined. However, it doesn't feel cheap though, and to be perfectly honest I would buy another one. In the future I would ask UGREEN to use less plastic for drive enclosures. But besides that minor thing, I am very happy with the device.

Works well. A little tough to get the case open, which is probably a good thing. Amazon AI says there is no indicator light, but there is a small white LED on the case top. What AI wrong? Shocked!!! The biggest downside is it ships with a C to C cable, forcing me to spend another $7 on a C to A cable for my older computer that didn't have a spare usb C port available. The aluminum is actually fairly thin, which is a bit disappointing, but the foam braces and ramps molded into the case are well thought out touches.

Nice, small, very sturdy. I really like it being toolless so I don't have to mess around with screws. No issues with heat so far. I have it connected to a NAS via USB and it works just as fast as a directly connected data drive. Great value for money.

I've got two of these. They're reasonably fast. The important part for me is that the chipset supports SMART pass-through. These work to do "smartctl -d sat ..." drive health checks on linux. Useful for triaging old SSDs for potential reuse.

Excellent enclosure to house your 2.5" SSD. Easy to install, high value for cost ratio, runs silent, impressively fast I/O, nice case. Very well built and still light weight, Would easily buy again. Outstanding product!

These are great little drive enclosures. It's super easy to install the HDD and get up and running. Ignore the noice about "not really all aluminium so it won't dissipate the heat." It's true, the aluminium is on top of ABS plastic but the units are so small, heat dissipation shouldn't be an issue. Be aware, but I doubt it matters. The units look nice, they hold the HDD snugly, and they have some heft to them. The aluminium colour is well-matched to my Space Grey MacBook Pro. The ONLY thing I wish: shorter (0.5m/1ft) braided cables. That would make this perfect.

Fiyatı emsallerine göre oldukça yüksek fakat hızlı bir SSD ile kullanacaksanız bence değer. Ben bir adet almıştım. Ürün elime hemen ulaştı ve görünce zam gelmeden ikincisine de almaya karar verdim. Ben SSD ve Mac Mini M2 ile 530 MB/saniye hızlarını aldım. Bu demek oluyor ki içinden çıkan kablo gerçekten 10 Gb/s hıza sahip. SSD'nin cihaza bağlandığı SATA 3 arayüzü ise 6 Gb/s hızla sınırlı olduğu için zaten 500-550 MB/s'i aşmamız fiziken mümkün değil. Fakat kullanılan Type-C kablosu 5 GB/s olsaydı muhtemelen transfer hızları 400-450 MB/s ile sınırlı kalırdı. 10Gb/s kablo kullanılmış olması 6 Gb/s 'lik SATA 3 limitine ulaşmanızı yani reelde 500 MB/s hızları aşmanızı sağlıyor. Malzeme kalitesi ise çok iyi. Gri kısmın gerçekte aluminyum olmadığını yazanlar olmuş.. Ama kesinlikle alüminyum. Üzerindeki dokulu kaplaması kafa karıştırabilir ama dokunduğunuzda soğukluğunu hissediyorsunuz zaten. Tıpkı alüminyum gibi elinizin ısısını emiyor. Fakat bu alüminyum SSD veya HDD ile direk temas halinde olmadığı için ısı dağıtımında ne kadar etki eder bilmem. İç kısım tamamen plastik ve bu aluminyum o plastiğin üzerinde kılıf gibi giydirilmiş halde. Daha çok dekoratif düşünülmüş. İçinden çıkan 50 cm kablo uzunluğu da yeterli. Ne çok kısa ne de çok uzun.

Haven't one any speed tests.

Best connectivity, build quality, speed. Great product.

perfect quality and useful... just bitter expensive.
