Multibao 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure SATA HDD/SSD Caddy Case To USB 3.0 For LAPTOP DVR External Black Enclosure Box

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this Multibao 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure is to set up. It's straightforward to use, offers good build quality, and works like a charm for transferring data between my old hard drive and laptop. The USB 3.0 connection ensures fast speeds, and it fits perfectly in my bag for on-the-go storage. All in all, it does exactly what it promises without any fuss. Highly recommended!

This works excellently and even comes with a short cable.

It's a very basic 2.5in SATA HDD/SSD enclosure - just a cheap-feeling plastic case that clips together - no screws required - with a tiny controller board inside. It comes with a USB 3.0 cable which is rather short (around 25cm length) but it does the job. I have absolutely no complaints for the price I paid (under £5).When plugged in to USB, it identifies itself as a JMicron device, which is as expected for these types of products and similar to other ones I've used in the recent past.I bought it to reuse a very old 1TB laptop hard drive that I had lying around spare. It seems to work OK.Transfer speeds are in the region of 18-20MB/s but I expect it's my poor old hard drive that is the limitation here. I can't say how well it works with SSDs as I haven't used it with those.It came with a small adhesive foam pad, which must be required for fitting some of the slimmer 2.5in SSDs and maybe some HDDs. That certainly wasn't needed for my HDD which fits very snugly inside the case, and doesn't rattle around.The enclosure gets a little warm in use, but not hot. Certainly no warmer than dedicated external HDDs I've owned such as the WD Elements series.Overall - absolutely fine for a basic enclosure. Avoid if you want something that looks more premium (this is just a cheap plastic case). For me it was a good way to reuse an old hard drive at very low cost.

Easy to use and fit

Good build quality, spot on with storage,fast and easy to install

Bought 3 of these to use old HDD's as backup devices. The fit of the USB 3 connector through the plastic of the caddy isn't great so you have to wiggle the cable a bit to connect it to the PCB. So I think you have to be quite careful with the PCB such that the USB connector doesn't detach from the PCB over time. I've bought others on another shopping site that were cheaper and better quality but those were USB 2, but they are still going strong after several years, I don't think these will last that long.

Exactly as described, great price, put spare hdd in and bingo … works as it should….. recommended 😀
