Having used computer equipment for over 30 years, I've seen a lot. There is not a lot to gush about with this hdd enclosure. But that's just the point. It's very affordable without any bells and whistles. It does exactly what it is supposed to right out of the box with zero problems. That alone is a big thumbs up for me. I value no hassle. Opening is a snap. Place your thumb on the top, press down gently, and slide away from the USB port till it stops. Lift lid. Insert drive. Done.It's plastic and light weight, but at the same time not flimsy. I wouldn't go throwing it down the stairs, but I suspect that it could survive more than a few casual drops. Not something I intend to test on purpose.Included are felt vibration pad absorbers if users would like to limit the noise from 2.5 mechanical hdds or add a bit more fall protection for drives in general. It also includes a dual male ended usb 3.0 c-type connector cable, which is a bit on the short side. That can be good or bad depending on what you need it for. Personally, I think it would be excellent to connect to phones, laptops, and some desk tops. Though I highly recommend adapters. Two c-type to usb-A adapters (Like what I have for it) will go a long way in adding versatility to this enclosure, expanding it's backwards compatibility.It was immediately recognized under windows 10 with a brand new ssd. After formatting I was able to open it up just fine. Purchased for hdd testing and formatting. I think it was very affordable. I consider the no frills but simple elegant design to be a good perk. I chose to give 5 stars because out of the box and first use combined with 2 day arrival? I cannot find anything bad to say about this item. I hope you all find this review helpful in your selection.
