UGREEN 2.5 Inch Hard Drive Enclosure, USB C 3.1 6Gbps External HDD Case, UASP Supported, Compatible with 2.5 Inch SATA SSD HDD up to 10TB Crucial MX500 EVO 870, Driver-free on PC Laptop MacBook PS4

Very easy to use, works well on MacOS. It’s a SATA enclosure, so as fast as can be expected. Cable is actually quite nice. Feels a bit light and plasticky (because it is) but strong enough for what it needs to be.

Fantastic little enclosure for a 2.5 SATA HDD. the enclosure is a slide-and-snap type and mounting the drive to the USB card is incredibly easy, you literally just slot the drive in, slot the enclosure over the drive and you're good to go. There's no drive activity light on this however depending on the hard drive you've mounted you'll likely hear it when it's on the go as there's not much in the way of muffling, in spite of that the enclosure performs amicably with no bottlenecks. It can get a little toasty if you're doing a lot of read/writes but that doesn't seem like enough to damage the drive. The enclosure looks nice too! see pics and video.

I bought this UGREEN enclosure to repurpose an old SSD and it's been brilliant. Setting it up was simple, just popped the drive in, closed the case and then plugged it into my laptop via USB-C. It worked straightaway without any drivers or software to install. My Mac recognised it immediately as a usable drive. Transfer speeds have been great. I haven't noticed any slowness when transferring large files, everything feels smooth. The build quality feels solid and reliable, at a very good price. It’s compact and lightweight, which makes it perfect for putting in a bag without adding extra bulk. Highly recommend if you're looking for a hard drive enclosure.

After a year of constant use and being carted about in my work bag, the usb port is starting to act up a little. I get random disconnections sometimes. I'll be buying a new enclosure soon. However, considering the abuse I;ve given it, I'm very happy how it's performed for the last year.

This has been a great upgrade from my old microUSB 3.0 hard drive caddy. The caddy is easy to open as it's held closed by tension instead of screwed shut. The hard drive fits firmly in place, and the USB C connectivity leads to faster transfer speeds. The USB C to USB C cable has increased its functionality as now I can connect it directly to my phone and tablet, as well as my laptop now. Conclusion: The build quality and transfer speed make this easily worth the £16.99 price.

Well made. Working well.

I bought this to replace a cheap caddy from eBay as I wanted a USB-C one instead (modern is better, right?) Suffice to say, I'm really impressed. Some reviews mentioned slow performance, and one mentioned difficulty seating an MX500 SSD into it, but I have had no issues. I am using a Crucial MX500 500GB SSD with this caddy. It was simple to install. The foam either side of the caddy makes the fitment really tight - it holds the drive steady so it doesn't rattle around. It did make the install a little bit awkward, and to remove the drive you have to somehow push it back very hard whilst lifting the back up slightly as there are two catches at the back. However, it is still simple to get in and out. I'd like to address the complaint of "slow transfer speeds". I am extremely happy with the performance of this device. I've been moving Steam games today and it was moving at over 300MB/s to start with, and has settled around 250MB/s, which I am really pleased with. I have also run CrystalDiskMark against the drive in the caddy and attached the results as a photo. Unfortunately I don't have a report of native SATA speeds but the read/write speeds in the caddy are more than adequate! The caddy itself is very lightweight as it's made of plastic, but it doesn't feel brittle or fragile. It's not bulky, but is slightly larger than some alternatives. I have only been using it for a day so will update if anything changes, but so far I'm really glad I got it. Definitely an improvement over the cheapo one I was using before.

Easy to Use and works well

My laptop main board is gone. This enclosure helped me to recover my data from my 2.5 hard drive by using USB-C from another PC. All the partitions in this hard drive is shown as multiple drives in another PC. Works great! Portable and easy to use. Great value.

Snug fit. Like a charm.

Great item for my small hdd. Working great in Linux Mint, Apple and Win.

Poor performance, slower than an usb-a to SATA 3.0 cable. Half the performance on random memory access. Performance are ok as advertised if you're moving large chunks of data, but extremely poor when reading/writing small data (which matters if you're gaming from the disk or even OS operation).
