Tool-Free 2.5" SATA USB-C Enclosure

The Corn Electronics C2573c is a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C enclosure that accepts any 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD measuring 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick. It connects to modern desktops and laptops through an integrated cable and requires no external power supply.

Windows XP Through 10 and macOS 10.6+ Users

The enclosure is hot-swappable and driver-free on Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, plus macOS 10.6 or above. Builders who need a 3.5 inch drive bay, an external power adapter for heavier drives, or a Type-A connector for older ports should look elsewhere.

VIA 716 Chipset at 10 Gbps

The VIA 716 controller delivers USB 3.1 Gen 2 transfer rates up to 10 Gbps over the Type-C interface. That single bandwidth figure decides whether the enclosure can saturate your drive’s SATA link.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the enclosure is delivering USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) speeds after connecting a 2.5" SATA drive?

The drive should appear immediately in Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 or macOS 10.6+ without drivers; transfer a large file and confirm throughput approaches the 10Gbps link rate.

What comes in the box and is a separate power adapter required for a 9.5mm SATA HDD?

The unit includes an integrated USB Type-C cable; no external power supply is needed for any 2.5" 7mm or 9.5mm SATA HDD or SSD.

Which version of the C2573c should I choose for a 7mm SATA SSD versus a 9.5mm SATA HDD?

One model fits both heights; the tool-free tray accepts any 2.5" SATA drive from 7mm to 9.5mm without a separate variant.
