UGREEN USB C Hard Drive Enclosure for 2.5" SATA SSD HDD,Aluminum

I've started really taking a liking to UGREEN things recently. I got to review some of their docks and a few other cables, hubs, and such. I haven't had any problems with any of them. I needed an enclosure for my 4TB Samsung SATA SSD and saw this one that looked attractive, matching the theme that their other devices follow. I also liked that it inexpensive, although maybe a little pricier than some no-name generics but I believe it to be worth it. Disassembling and reassembling is literally just a slide and a snap. It is completely toolless. The only gripe I could say is that the description says the enclosure is aluminum. And it is... Partially. Only the top half of the shell is aluminum, with the bottom being just exposed black plastic. And even the aluminum outer shell is plastic lined. However, it doesn't feel cheap though, and to be perfectly honest I would buy another one. In the future I would ask UGREEN to use less plastic for drive enclosures. But besides that minor thing, I am very happy with the device.

I've purchased two of these enclosures now and they both work great. Extremely easy to install a 2.5" SSD by just sliding it into the slot. Speed is good (and dependent on the SSD itself), and really it just works. It's a great way to repurpose an old drive, and cost effective given today's hard drive prices. Highly recommended!

Very good external HDD pods, USB 3 cables and very easy to use, lets you access your data in a sleek small design.

Simple, Nice, Cheap, Works well

Overall this enclosure is made well, is easy to install, and provides expected speeds (except on Mac, read below). Pros: - Nice materials: Aluminum, soft touch plastic - Easy to install (no tools needed) - Meets expected speeds, mostly Cons: - A bit thick. I wish the inside top wasn't lined with plastic. If it was just aluminum making contact with the SSD, it would act as a heat spreader and save space. - Speed tests on mac were either really slow or fast (not sure if this is fault of the drive or Mac OS) Speed test: I tested the speed on both Windows 10 and Mac OS 11.4 Big Sur machines. The SSD installed is a 120GB Kingston UV400 rated up to 550 MB/s Read, and 350 MB/s Write. I formatted the drive using exFAT. On Windows I used CrystalDiskMark and on Mac I used AmorphousDiskMark. On my Windows desktop I did not have a USB-C port but I do have a USB 3.1 type A port and tested using a C to A 3.1 gen 2 cable. Speeds on Windows came in at 525 MB/s Read and MB/s 281 Write. When testing on Mac my initial speeds test came in around 35 MB/s Read on the included USB-C cable so I immediately knew something was wrong. After unplugging my Thunderbolt dock and re-testing, I was able to get 368 MB/s Read and 346 MB/s Write. However, subsequent tests and real-world tests using rsync showed tests falling back to ~30 MB/s. I also tested on other C-C cables including a thunderbolt 3 cable. Switching over to the C to A cable through my CalDigit dock brought the speeds back into the 300s. I'm not really sure what is going on, but the inconsistencies are tough to nail down and find a single culprit. This may explain why some reviewers are seeing fast speeds and others are not, on Mac OS. Overall I'm happy with the device assuming I can get proper speeds.

This enclosure was purchased to hold an older EVO 960 2.5" drive added to my Thunderbolt dock for my laptop. Installation and setup were easy, and the laptop immediately recognized the drive. There have been no compatibility issues with the Dell XPS laptop or the Dell WD22TB4 dock. The included USB-C cable supports power and data. The data throughput is 560 MB/sec, but the older drive is the limiting factor here. The enclosure and drive hold a development workspace running in VSCode. The drive stays cool, and performance has been good. Excellent value.

Great enclosure. Solid and works well. Used this for a Samsung SSD drive. Installed the drive and my own back up software on the drive. No issues.

This USB-C SSD enclosure is faster than other enclosures (e.g. USB-3.1 or HDD) I've tested. Does not overheat with a 4TB SSD.

Fiyatı emsallerine göre oldukça yüksek fakat hızlı bir SSD ile kullanacaksanız bence değer. Ben bir adet almıştım. Ürün elime hemen ulaştı ve görünce zam gelmeden ikincisine de almaya karar verdim. Ben SSD ve Mac Mini M2 ile 530 MB/saniye hızlarını aldım. Bu demek oluyor ki içinden çıkan kablo gerçekten 10 Gb/s hıza sahip. SSD'nin cihaza bağlandığı SATA 3 arayüzü ise 6 Gb/s hızla sınırlı olduğu için zaten 500-550 MB/s'i aşmamız fiziken mümkün değil. Fakat kullanılan Type-C kablosu 5 GB/s olsaydı muhtemelen transfer hızları 400-450 MB/s ile sınırlı kalırdı. 10Gb/s kablo kullanılmış olması 6 Gb/s 'lik SATA 3 limitine ulaşmanızı yani reelde 500 MB/s hızları aşmanızı sağlıyor. Malzeme kalitesi ise çok iyi. Gri kısmın gerçekte aluminyum olmadığını yazanlar olmuş.. Ama kesinlikle alüminyum. Üzerindeki dokulu kaplaması kafa karıştırabilir ama dokunduğunuzda soğukluğunu hissediyorsunuz zaten. Tıpkı alüminyum gibi elinizin ısısını emiyor. Fakat bu alüminyum SSD veya HDD ile direk temas halinde olmadığı için ısı dağıtımında ne kadar etki eder bilmem. İç kısım tamamen plastik ve bu aluminyum o plastiğin üzerinde kılıf gibi giydirilmiş halde. Daha çok dekoratif düşünülmüş. İçinden çıkan 50 cm kablo uzunluğu da yeterli. Ne çok kısa ne de çok uzun.

Haven't one any speed tests.

perfect quality and useful... just bitter expensive.

Case molto bello e ben rifinito, con Base in gomma dotata di piedini antiscivolo e parte superiore in alluminio molto molto ben rifinita e bella da vedere, inoltre dissipa l'eventuale calore del HDD. Interfaccia USB tipo C. La confezione comprende anche un cavetto lungo 50 cm con entrambi attacchi USB tipo C maschio. Questo cavetto non è particolarmente bello a confronto del case, ma fa la sua funzione. Ho inserito un SSD e ci sta perfettamente senza traballare trattenuto dai cuscinetti antiurto e funziona perfettamente. Il cassettino una volta chiuso è perfetto.

Requería de una carcaza para mi SSD Samsung EVO las que hallaba no me convencían, el algoritmo de Amazon México me mostró ésta en particular y decidí comprarla por sus reseñas, es correcto, la cubierta superior es de aluminio mecanizado con un acabado gris satinado el cual es propio de todos los gadgets de la marca UGREEN la base es de plástico negro de buena calidad, se siente sólida aunque sea ligera lo cual se agradece, por otro lado las velocidades de conexión de acuerdo a tu SSD Sata 3 o inferior son muy veloces, sobre todo si guardas vídeos HD 1080 o 4K, la conexión física de los slots o bahías es sólida, su luz LED advierte de operación de guarda / lectura de datos en curso, ésta carcaza no está diseñada para uso rudo mucho menos caídas la debe usar con el puerto USB C de tu PC portátil, recomiendo la compra de éste producto en Amazon México.
