  • Connect any 2.5 inch SATA drive via USB 2.0

  • Theoretical transfer speed up to 480 Mbps
  • Compact ABS shell measures 120 x 73 x 11 mm

USB 2.0 enclosure for 2.5-inch SATA drives

This compact enclosure accepts any 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive up to 2 TB and connects it to a host computer through a USB 2.0 Mini-B port. It is powered directly from the USB bus and requires no external adapter. The frosted ABS shell measures 120 x 73 x 11 mm and supports hot-swap operation on Windows 7, 8, 10 and Mac OS.

Suitable for basic backups

It suits users who need a simple, inexpensive way to read or archive data from a spare laptop drive on a machine that only offers USB 2.0 ports. Buyers who need faster sustained transfers for video editing, large disk images or daily working drives should look at an enclosure with a higher-speed interface.

Single specification that decides fit: USB 2.0

The external connection is USB 2.0 Mini-B with a theoretical maximum of 480 Mbps, so real-world throughput will be well below the capability of modern SATA SSDs. If the host system provides USB 3.0 or newer ports, this enclosure will become the bottleneck and a faster enclosure would be the appropriate choice.

Questions about this item

What does the 480 Mbps headline speed mean when I connect this enclosure to my laptop?

The 480 Mbps figure is the theoretical maximum of the USB 2.0 interface; real-world throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead and the drive's own limits.

Which USB standard does the 025LSU3 use, and what does that cap in practice?

It uses USB 2.0 with a mini-B connector, so the practical ceiling is the 480 Mbps theoretical rate shared with any other traffic on the bus.

What physical drive size and thickness does the 120 x 73 x 11 mm case accept?

The enclosure fits standard 2.5 inch SATA hard drives or SSDs up to the 11 mm / 0.43 in height of the case itself.
