3.5 Hard Drive Enclosure, CLAVOOP USB 3.0 Internal Hard Drive Case for 3.5 inch SATA HDD Up to 20TB Data Recovery Kit Support UASP with 12V 24W Power Adapter

Inexpensive way to increase storage. Simple to assemble and works well

I understand that these are cheaply made but it works perfectly and is well worth the money, which is minimal. I researched this product and found similar ones for much higher prices. It's a bit hard to open but easy to put the drive in and it reads it perfectly. I use it daily.

Works as described. Put in an 8 TB hard drive and works as intended.

It's a fine product for the price, lid can be a pain sometimes, but for the most part it works great. However, if you hibernate your pc while it's plugged in, it will look like it's on but the drive won't spin and you can't access it until you restart the drive bay itself.

I realized I had an old spare HD that I didn't have easy access to its contents. This enclosure fit the bill. The construction seems well made and the drive inside won't be easily jostled about if you affix the padding in the appropriate areas. It was literally plug and play for the drive and then to use on my PC and my Macbook. I don't need it for anything super important, just basic backup, so speed is not a huge factor for me.

Worked perfectly for keeping my SATA drives from my old computer online. Install was simple. Only wish the housings would power up when I turn on the computer. I have to power the drive up after the computer is fully booted up. I'm using 3 of these housings at the moment and all are working well even doing video editing.02/26/25 - These drives do not activate on PC bootup. You have to manually turn them on after bootup. Didn't think this would be a problem, but it is an annoyance.

Worst, junk, drive enclosure on Amazon. Made of plastic so it won't serve as a heat sink. There is no way to secure the drive in the case, so the drive flops around in side. There is no way to secure the case closed, but it is hard to open so I suspect it will stay closed on its own.I also suspected that I would not like the type of USB cable that it connects with and I was right. I prefer a USB-C connection so I can use a short cord.Overall this is a very low-quality product. Almost anything else on Amazon will be better. Sending this one back.

I bought this to convert an older Apple 3TB Fusion HDD to external storage for my newer MacBook Pro. After inserting the HDD into the enclosure and hooking it to the laptop, I turned on the power, and after a few seconds the drive appeared in Disk Utility. After formatting, it was ready to go. The enclosure is surprisingly quiet, and is a great way to recycle hardware that would otherwise be discarded; and, save money too!!!
