2.5-inch SATA USB 3.0 Enclosure

The Hetai Tech enclosure houses a single 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD up to 4 TB and connects to a host via USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps. Its ABS shell measures 12.3 cm by 7.5 cm by 1.4 cm and weighs very little for travel. A USB cable is included in the box.

Users adding external storage to laptops or desktops

Windows 98 through 10 and Mac OS 8.6 or later are supported, so most legacy and current machines work without extra drivers. Builders needing 3.5-inch drive bays, multi-bay RAID, or internal mounting should look elsewhere.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 transfer ceiling

The interface tops out at 5 Gbps, which caps real-world throughput well below the drive’s native SATA speed. If your workflow demands sustained rates above this limit, a faster host connection is required.

Questions about this item

What size SATA drive do I need to install in this 2.5-inch enclosure?

The enclosure accepts any 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD up to 4TB capacity.

Will the USB 3.0 cable provided work with my older laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the USB 3.0 interface is backwards compatible and will operate at USB 2.0 speeds on older ports.

How can I confirm the enclosure is achieving the 5Gbps transfer rate after connecting it?

Check that your OS reports a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connection and run a benchmark with a SATA SSD to verify speeds near 5Gbps.
