Attractive, light weight, useful blue light indicates on, while flashing when at work, USB 2.0 compatible.
Attractive, light weight, useful blue light indicates on, while flashing when at work. Worked with old, low capacity 2.5 SATA drives right through to a modern high capacity 2TB 2.5 SATA drive. USB3.0 super speed ability, but works perfectly well with my normal USB 2.0. Only one advisory; To open the case, press down on the upper lid with your thumb above the black plate that the lead plugs into and once the case top clicks down slide the top back with your thumb. Your drive inside can then easily be removed.Read full review...

not user friendly.
Good working product once you get the drive in. but took me ages to open the clear case without breaking it. The plastic is the brittle type that I assume will crack with any amount of force.

Great way to re-purpose old drives!
I wanted to enclose a couple of 2.5 inch HDD's I had taken out of laptops and re-purpose them as external drives.
Found these on Ebay and bought two of them to give them a try.
They arrived quickly and with the option of 'Click and Collect' which is great for me as I am often not in to take deliveries. A very useful feature.
The enclosures are a clear plastic which gives the drives a cool 'steam punk' effect and are tool free so all you need to do is separate the two halves (carefully), place the drive into the enclosure making sure you have the correct orientation to the SATA socket and push it home. Snap on the top half of the enclosure and you are done. Easy.
The enclosures come with cables also, so you have everything you need to get the drives up and running.
Once connected to your computer, a nice blue drive light tells you it's powered up and if all is ok with the drive, your PC will see the drive and it's ready to use.
A tip: if you want cheap external storage, buy some old internal 2.5" HDDs and get these to enclose them in. You have a very useful piece of kit and you have recycled too! Win Win.
The price for these enclosures is amazing and even better when you buy more than one. Well worth every penny. Thanks for reading.Read full review...

Transparent 2.5" HDD enclosure
A really excellent quality and value 2.5" HDD caddy. The transparency of the strong plastic case enables immediate confirmation of the particular hard drive, and the bright blue operating LED stands out among other neons and LEDs in a crowded desktop environment. It's a robust item, and so is easy to transfer from one location to another without putting stress on the USB cable connection. Heat dissipation is perfect. The visual advantages of this caddy make me prefer it over similar metal versions. Dispatch was quick and secure - a highly-recommended seller.Read full review...

Reuse old laptop hard drives with clear cases.
This hard drive case is well made and the 2.5 inch hard drive fitted perfectly with no excess movement. It comes with a protective clear film which I personally keep on to reduce scratching. The benefits of a clear case is that you know at a glance the size, name and type hard drive you want to use. I bought four of these cases as I had old, slow laptops ready to throw away, so I took out their sata hard drives, put them into the clear cases and now have four fantastic, cheap external hard drives.Read full review...

Easy to use and modern look
This item is easy to use. It is opened by sliding the panels. The old laptop hard drive slotted in the connectors. It did connect with my Windows 10 laptop with the USB and seems to work fine. The see through case gives it a modern look. It also has a blue light. It's a good way to re purpose an old item. I am very pleased with the case. Read full review...

USB3 Clear Hard Drive Enclosure for Cheap and Cheerful Storage
Very simple to use, just slide the cover open, plug the drive in close the cover and use the supplied cable to plug into a free USB port. This was plug and play on Windows 10, Linux (Ubuntu) and Mac OS (Mojave). The drive (as is usual) gets hot on prolonged use. This is normal, just make sure you provide plenty of ventilation. I've used this on HDD and SSDs of various capacity and all 'just worked'. For a cheap little enclosure it provides real value for money. The enclosure is lightweight, great for extra storage on the go.Read full review...

Really good bit of kit. Easy to use.
This is a great bit of kit & easy to use.
When my old pc packed in I saved the hard drive.
Was going to buy a cable to try to transfer files off my old hard drive to my current pc, but then saw this item.
Put my old hard drive into this enclosure & was able to retrieve files which otherwise would've been lost. Simple to set up, (even for me at 72), & works like a charm.

Thats why I rate this 5 stars.Flexible, reliable and good value. What more could you ask?
I use this type of caddy as you can see the hard disk details. It is very easy to slip an SSD or HDD in.
The USB cable supplied with the drive is great. You can buy a USB C to USB 3.1 lead to use this caddy and an SSD drive direct with a modern laptop or smartphone.

Simple to use hard drive caddy
This product is a quick and easy way to convert a loose 2 1/2 inch hard drive into an external hard drive to give you extra storage capacity.
I have several spare drives taken from old laptops over the years and I use them for separately storing music, photos, videos, etc. Being transparent, you can slip a bit of paper inside telling you what category each one contains.
In all, a useful, simple, quick and inexpensive product that I would heartily recommend. Read full review...
