Portable SATA drive enclosure

This enclosure converts a 2.5-inch internal SATA SSD or HDD into external removable storage for Windows, macOS and Linux hosts. It accepts both 7mm and 9.5mm thick SATA I/II/III drives up to 6TB capacity. The tool-free slide-in housing lets you swap drives without screws, ideal for frequent disk changes. Powered entirely from the USB bus, it needs no separate adapter.

USB 3.0 cable and UASP support

The included USB 3.0 cable provides a direct plug-and-play connection to USB 3.0 or 2.0 ports. UASP acceleration works with the USB 3.0 5Gbps standard and SATA III 6Gbps protocol to improve file-copy efficiency during daily backups. No extra software or drivers are required on supported operating systems. The bus-powered design keeps the setup compact for desktop or laptop use.

Check drive thickness and interface

Verify that your 2.5-inch drive uses a SATA interface and measures either 7mm or 9.5mm in thickness before ordering. Drives with other interfaces or larger form factors will not fit the slide-in tray. Ensure the host device has an available USB port for the supplied cable. The enclosure does not support 3.5-inch drives or non-SATA protocols.
