2.5" USB 3.1 SATA Enclosure

This enclosure converts a single 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD into an external USB storage device. It accepts drives with a 7 mm or 9.5 mm height and supports capacities up to 6 TB. The tool-free, grid-textured plastic shell allows quick drive swaps without screws or additional power adapters.

USB 3.1 5 Gbps portable storage

It suits users who need a simple, bus-powered way to access SATA drives on Windows, macOS or Linux systems. The plug-and-play design works without drivers and includes an LED activity indicator. Builders who require hardware RAID, multiple drive bays or an external power supply for larger drives should consider other solutions.

5 Gbps USB 3.1 interface

The external connection uses USB 3.1 Gen 1 at 5 Gbps, matching the internal SATA 3.0 link speed. This single bandwidth figure determines the maximum transfer rate you can expect from any installed drive.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD for this enclosure?

Yes, the enclosure accepts a single 2.5-inch SATA I/II/III HDD or SSD that is 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick, up to 2 TB capacity.

Will the USB 3.0 connection slow down an older SATA II drive I want to keep using?

The USB 3.0 interface runs at 5 Gbps, which is faster than SATA II, so the older drive will operate at its own native speed without bottleneck.

How can I confirm the drive is recognised and active after I plug the enclosure in?

The built-in LED indicator lights up to show power and data activity, and the drive appears in Windows, Mac OS 9.1 or later, or Linux without extra drivers.
