iDsonix 2.5 inch Hard Drive Enclosure, 6Gbps USB C 3.1 to SATA III Tool-Free External Hard Drive Enclosure for 7mm/9.5mm 2.5" SSD HDD with UASP Compatible with Toshiba Samsung WD Black(PW25-1C3)

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.

I have ordered over 1,000 items from Amazon over the past decade and I normally only review items that are great or horrible. I'm happy to say that these cases (I ordered black, white and blue) and they are great and very affordable. The cases are simple and look nice, but the important part (for me) is the data transfer speed. I actually got these to move existing external drives to these cases in order to improve their performance (and they have definitely met their claims).Please see screen shot of data transfer rates of a (very inexpensive) SSD in this case. Please note, my goal was not to rate the speed of the SSD, but instead confirm the high data speeds you can get with a decent drive inside this case.I do have one 'tiny' suggestion for a future change is to move the little bumps on the bottom of the cases to align with the (design) depression on the top of the cases so that they can be stacked and not slide around. Granted, most people don't have 6 external drives like I do, and so I just add little adhesive rubber feet to the drives.I also wanted to mention that the merchant sent me an email asking if I was satisfied with their products, offered any resolution to any problems or questions I might have.Great job and I'm VERY happy with these cases!

I need to transfer data from a drive in a dying computer, and this iDsonix enclosure fit the bill (USB C connector, claimed fast transfer, low price). It arrived quickly, and my drive (Sandisk SSD) fit in easily and securely. However, the plastic case feels rather flimsy. It is thin and lightweight (won't play well with a stiff USB cable, since it has very little mass), but overall protective enough for desktop use. I did not put much effort into benchmarking the case, but was able to see over 400MB/sec read speeds as I copied data off the drive.One surprise was that the iDsonix brand is owned/produced by ORICO. In selecting this product I deliberately steered away from some similarly priced ORICO offerings, mostly because with so many redundant products I could not gauge the relative quality of the units available. I was hoping that iDsonix would be a more focused brand with fewer SKUs, but it seems to be just another avenue for ORICO to broaden their catalog of cheap hard drive enclosures. I probably wouldn't buy this model again based on that alone, and likely would spend more on a product from a better known brand if I were to do this again.

Easy to put in the hard drive, easy to swap drives, and works as expected with all the speed

Suitable enclosure for 1Tb aftermarket Crucial SSD enables use on iMacNo problem recognizing or reconfiguring to APFS file format10x faster than USB thumb drive or the same SSD with SATA adapter cableAlso used with 250 Gb generic PC SSD with similar performance 400 Mb/s

I bought this case for a 2TB SSD to keep plugged into my Mac. It’s easy to install the SSD into, it just slips right in and closes with pressure tabs. It’s light weight and good durable design. Great value for the money, you can afford to get a few of them if you need to. I’d recommend getting 2 or 3 smaller SSD’s rather than 1 large one. Always back up your data!

There's not a lot to day about this SSD enclosure other than the drive fits and it works.

This product seems well made and works well. The case shells fit perfectly and clicked shut tightly. The foam “shock absorber” is a nice thought. USB C is a plus. The older Mini USB 3.0 (2 connecting plugs) or micro USB are outdated.Some nuances: it is plastic and the grill is made-believe. To open it, you push the top shell 1/8” and lift the lid out. Don’t try to push the lid out entirely, it won’t slide out.There is NO air circulation when the case is shut tight. I made some improvements for air circulation by drilling 5 holes on the top and the bottom shells. Because the drive fits flat on these holes, I drilled additional 4 smaller holes at the 4 corners of each shell.I do know that the price is so low for what we get. So it’s still a value for me for a back up drive that is used only occasionally.
