Customers say
Customers find the hard drive enclosure works well, is easy to set up with no tools needed, and appreciate its storage capacity as a backup drive bay. The device offers good value for money and maintains high-sustained read/write speeds, though opinions about build quality are mixed, with some finding it well-made while others describe it as cheaply made. The fit receives mixed feedback – while 2.5″ drives fit snugly, 3.5″ ones don’t – and heat management is also mixed, with some reporting no issues while others mention drives getting very hot.
