Review: Smart rugged effective design with convenient cable storage - Great design at a great price. Opens easily with 6 phillips screws that keep hard shell secured around a pliant rubber gasket/bumper and carrier that cradles the drive. Drive slides into carrier securely. Carrier provides very substantial shock absorption and looks like it should also be well-sealed from moisture (i didn't test but it leaves no doubt). Shell is rigid and strong. Integrated sturdy USB cable stores easily and securely around outer edge of bumper offering further shock absorption for an edge hit. Cable storage provides protection for the USB plug. Installed drive is detected immediately. Data transfers at full drive speed (e.g., 75 MB/s) Blue LED shines through one side of case to show operation.
Review: I'm a tech skeptic who is impressed - Okay, I thought I'd give this a try purely because it has an integrated cable, and I'm sick of my current external enclosure coming disconnected from a loose cable if it's moved even slightly. I have to say, I'm impressed! The item really does feel sturdy. Instructions are TINY print, but hardly necessary because it's pretty intuitive: separate the halves and insert the drive, reassemble and close with screws (screws and screwdriver are included). There's a foam pad inside to dampen shock and hold the drive in place, and the pad is positioned correctly in terms of which part of the drive it sits on (it doesn't press on the circular portion of the disc). The drive mounted immediately, and I did a preliminary drag-and-drop test using a gigabyte video file, and the transfer speed was good. The integrated cable is a ribbon, not a cord, which makes me feel reassured about its durability.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this enclosure support 2.5" drives of size greater than 2tb?**
A: Tested this enclosure with a Samsung QVO series 8TB drive and it only shows a partition of 2TB with the rest of the drive unallocated. GPT was used. When inserted into a different enclosure the drive is displayed with the correct partition size.

**Q: I have a WD 500gb hd and im wondering what enclosure would fit it. It measures 4in x 5 3/4in.?**
A: You have 3.5" HDD (desktop PC). This enclosure designed to fit 2.5" HDD (laptop). Therefore it will not fit your HDD.

**Q: Do you need usb 3.0 to use?**
A: It uses the type C plug (I think, the USB standards are hard to keep up with!), which can be inserted either "up" or "down", unlike the older style plugs that must be inserted in the correct orientation. My laptop has one of the Type C receptacles and two of the older style receptacles. If your computer doesn't have the Type C receptacle, you can get  'gender adapter' that will allow you to use this device. If you use an Apple device, I'm not sure what kind of problems you might encounter.

**Q: Can I use a longer usb cable? Does it have a slot?**
A: The usb cable is attached to the unit. So in order to get a longer cable, you'll need a 'active' usb 3.0 extension cable. There are a few models that are also a "locking version" which would be much safer to prevent accidental disconnections (LINDY 8m USB 3.0 Active Pro Extension Cable, for example).  Cheers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are the best I have tried so far
*by R***H on January 24, 2018*

I have a bunch of external drive cases. These are the best I have tried so far. 2.5 inch drives install in no time with no effort. They have a rugged design, plenty of protection, they are super light weight and the price is great. There is a nifty status light that compliments the case and it works. I would recommend this product for anyone that needs to use an external solution for laptop storage, backups, or portable media storage.. If one was so inclined, most operating systems that matter can be installed and run from the USB 3 interface. It would be cool to have several different colored cases for various uses. I usually find something to nitpick about but so far I believe these are a great investment to protect and organize my external drives. Also, they fit well in my laptop cases. I'll get some more of these cases. Good job ineo.
