Turn any 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD into a fast, portable external storage device. This sleek, tool-free enclosure features a crystal-clear acrylic shell so you can see your drive inside, and supports both USB 3.0 (Micro-B) and USB Type-C connections for maximum compatibility with laptops, desktops, and modern devices.

Key Features

• Blazing 5Gbps Transfer Speed: Built to the USB 3.0 standard with a 7+15 SATA interface, delivering theoretical transfer speeds of up to 5.0Gbps — perfect for quickly moving large files, backups, and media libraries. Fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and SATA 2.0.
• UASP Acceleration: Gain an extra 10–20% performance boost for SSD drives when using a SATA3 SSD with a USB 3.0 port on Windows 8 or Windows 10, thanks to UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) support.
• Smart Power Management: An intelligent 3-minute auto-sleep mode kicks in during inactivity to conserve energy and protect your drive's mechanical components. The drive wakes instantly when accessed, and enters sleep mode immediately upon safe removal for added longevity.
• True Plug-and-Play: No drivers needed. Simply plug in and go. USB hot-swap is fully supported. Dual LED indicators keep you in the loop — blue for power, green for activity.
• Wide OS Compatibility: Works seamlessly across Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, Vista, macOS 9/10, and Linux.

• Premium Clear Acrylic Design: The transparent shell not only looks great but lets you confirm your drive is seated correctly. Compact dimensions: 12.5 cm × 7.9 cm × 1.3 cm (4.92" × 3.1" × 0.5").
